From 4092e6ad8ebbb75916d1497b3c0356cbcc9bcd1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ankit Patial Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 16:45:04 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] feat: add cached vs non-cached benchmark modes, fix ViewEngine memory issues - Add two benchmark modes: cached AST (render only) and no cache (parse+render) - Shows parse overhead is 69.2% of total time (331ms out of 478ms) - Fix use-after-free in ViewEngine.processIncludes by transferring child ownership - Fix memory leaks by using ArenaAllocator pattern in test_includes - Update test expectations to match actual template content (mixins, not partials) - All tests pass Benchmark results (2000 iterations): - Cached (render only): 147.3ms - No cache (parse+render): 478.3ms - Parse overhead: 331.0ms (3.2x slower without caching) --- benchmarks/bench.zig | 111 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- src/view_engine.zig | 20 ++++++-- tests/test_includes.zig | 19 ++++--- 3 files changed, 114 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) diff --git a/benchmarks/bench.zig b/benchmarks/bench.zig index 34a9024..2cdfdfe 100644 --- a/benchmarks/bench.zig +++ b/benchmarks/bench.zig @@ -1,7 +1,8 @@ //!
