rudb-exec 0.3.73

//! Reading a signed integer column as a block rather than a row at a time.
//!
//! Asking a [`Vector`] for one row costs a match on the layout, a widen to 128 bits and, at the
//! caller, a checked narrowing back. On a column of a million rows that is paid a million times for
//! a layout that does not change between rows. Reading the whole run up front costs one call and
//! leaves the loop above it indexing a flat slice.
//!
//! This is the same lift #237 did for the group hash, #539 for the key comparison and #804 for the
//! `COUNT(DISTINCT BIGINT)` scatter. It lives here rather than in one of the aggregate modules
//! because three of them want it, and a second copy would be free to drift on which layouts it
//! recognises.

/// One signed column read into a flat run of 64 bit values, once per chunk rather than once per row.
///
/// What this replaces is a reader that picked the layout once and then still walked the column a
/// row at a time, which cost a match on the reader, a bounds check and a widen to 128 bits that the
/// caller narrowed straight back. Callgrind put that at 13% of ClickBench 9 and 11% of ClickBench 8.
///
/// `Vector::signed_block` copies a flat `BIGINT` run and sign extends a narrower one, both of which
/// the compiler widens into a handful of instructions per lane, and it walks a packed run or a
/// sequence with the arithmetic those need. The forms it will not hand over, a dictionary and a run
/// among them, are filled here a row at a time, so no caller has to know which kind of column it was
/// given.
///
/// Nulls are the same question asked once. A column with none in it costs the loop above nothing,
/// and a column with some is asked row by row the way it always was, because a null is read out of
/// the column itself and not out of the buffer, which holds a zero for it.
///
/// The buffer lives for as long as the instance holding it does, so a chunk after the first
/// allocates nothing for this.
