path: remove unnecessary string copies #14438

tniessen · 2017-07-23T20:11:27Z

The length of path is known, so path.slice(0, len) === path. Unless I am missing something, these calls are unnecessary.

path

At this line, `path` has a length of 2, so `path.slice(0, 2) === path`.

Could you add a test for the second change? It seems that line is not currently covered and it would be good to check that the same result is returned before and after this PR.

@tniessen If you're adding new tests, see if you can cover the if (code === 47/*/*/ || code === 92/*\*/) from L1057

lib/path.js

@@ -1049,7 +1049,7 @@ const win32 = {
          } else {
            // `path` contains just a drive root, exit early to avoid
            // unnecessary work
-            ret.root = ret.dir = path.slice(0, 2);
+            ret.root = ret.dir = path;
            return ret;
          }
        }


The

ret.root = ret.dir = path[0];

below can be simplified to

ret.root = ret.dir = path;

as well, AFAICT.

Anyway could you add a comment // `(len <= 1)`

LGTM with a test.

LGTM.

As the length of `path` is known at this point, there is no point in making an exact copy using `slice`.

The second commit (f7f590c) doesn’t land cleanly on 8.x; if you can, please follow the guide and raise a backport PR, if you don’t think it’s worth it let me know/add the dont-land-on label.

I'll handle backporting this to v6.x together with #14440.

Edit: done in #14787
