⚡ Bolt: Optimize Hex Color Serialization and Parsing#108
Conversation
Replaced `parseHexToArgb` and `argbToHex` string methods like `substring()`, `toLong()`, `padStart()` and `uppercase()` with fast character array loops and bitwise logic. This completely avoids intermediate string allocations during hex color processing. Benchmarks indicate up to ~20x faster parsing and ~25x faster formatting.

Closing as superseded by #113, which merged the same hex parsing/formatting optimization with a clean two-file scope and passing CI. This variant is duplicate or carries unnecessary test, log, or script artifacts. |
Understood. Acknowledging that this work is superseded by #113 and stopping work on this task. |

💡 What: Replaced the implementation of
parseHexToArgbandargbToHexinhalogen-core/src/commonMain/kotlin/halogen/ThemeExpander.ktwith optimized, manually-iterated versions that use direct character-by-character parsing and character arrays to build strings.🎯 Why: Standard library methods like
.substring(1).toLong(16).toInt()for parsing and.toString(16).padStart(6, '0').uppercase()for serialization create intermediate strings and allocations. In high-frequency operations or rendering loops, this creates unnecessary memory overhead and GC pressure.📊 Impact:
Eliminates intermediate string allocations for hex color processing. Benchmarks conducted on the JVM target indicate parsing is ~20x faster (11ms vs 219ms for 1M iterations) and formatting is ~25x faster (24ms vs 575ms for 1M iterations).
🔬 Measurement:
Tested parsing and serialization correctness via
halogen-coreunit tests (./gradlew :halogen-core:test) and verified performance improvements through ad-hoc micro-benchmarks in isolation.PR created automatically by Jules for task 2346966800330344292 started by @himattm
