Making efficient use of the libdispatch (GCD)

libdispatch efficiency tips

The libdispatch is one of the most misused API due to the way it was presented to us when it was introduced and for many years after that, and due to the confusing documentation and API. This page is a compilation of important things to know if you're going to use this library. Many references are available at the end of this document pointing to comments from Apple's very own libdispatch maintainer (Pierre Habouzit).

My take-aways are:

  • You should create very few, long-lived, well-defined queues. These queues should be seen as execution contexts in your program (gui, background work, ...) that benefit from executing in parallel. An important thing to note is that if these queues are all active at once, you will get as many threads running. In most apps, you probably do not need to create more than 3 or 4 queues.

  • Go serial first, and as you find performance bottle necks, measure why, and if concurrency helps, apply with care, always validating under system pressure. Reuse

Notes for working with Xcode VIM mode

Xcode VIM

Learning VIM in Xcode comes with its own set of challenges and limitations, but there is enough there for you to give your mousing hand a break and master the keyboard.

A limited set of commands are available in Xcode, and this document attempts help ease the learning curve of using VIM in Xcode by providing a handy reference as well as what I find works for me in practice.

NOTE: Commands are case-sensitive. A command of N means pressing shift + n on the keyboard.

This document is a work in progress! Leave a comment if you would like to see a change.

A test of `@_dynamicReplacement` in Swift

Usage

  1. swiftc main.swift -emit-module-path main.swiftmodule -emit-executable -enable-private-imports -Xfrontend -enable-implicit-dynamic
  2. ./main -> prints From original bar()
  3. swiftc -emit-library inject.swift -o inject.dylib -I . -Xlinker -undefined -Xlinker suppress -Xlinker -flat_namespace -Xfrontend -disable-access-control
  4. DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=inject.dylib ./main -> prints From replacement bar()

Notes

  • Passing -Xfrontend -enable-implicit-dynamic removes you from having to add dynamic to everything you want to be replacable

A (Mostly) Complete Guide to React Rendering Behavior

Translated from https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2020/05/blogged-answers-a-mostly-complete-guide-to-react-rendering-behavior/, author: Mark Erikson (from Redux team)

A (Mostly) Complete Guide to React Rendering Behavior

Bài viết cung cấp chi tiết về cách mà React render hoạt động, và việc sử dụng Context và Redux ảnh hưởng thế nào tới quá trình render của React.

"Render" là gì

Rendering is the process of React asking your components to describe what they want their section of the UI to look like, now, based on the current combination of props and state.
