expvar: Use sync/atomic to manipulate Int for better perf
Using a mutex to protect a single int operation is quite heavyweight.
Using sync/atomic provides much better performance. This change was
benchmarked as such:
BenchmarkSync
10000000 139 ns/op
BenchmarkAtomic
200000000 9.90 ns/op
package blah
import (
"sync"
"sync/atomic"
"testing"
)
type Int struct {
mu sync.RWMutex
i int64
}
func (v *Int) Add(delta int64) {
v.mu.Lock()
defer v.mu.Unlock()
v.i += delta
}
type AtomicInt struct {
i int64
}
func (v *AtomicInt) Add(delta int64) {
atomic.AddInt64(&v.i, delta)
}
func BenchmarkSync(b *testing.B) {
s := new(Int)
for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
s.Add(1)
}
}
func BenchmarkAtomic(b *testing.B) {
s := new(AtomicInt)
for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
s.Add(1)
}
}
