Hi,
I was chasing a bug for a couple of days that was causing gc pressure. I’ve measured a couple of different implementations and monitoring allocation rate and histograms (number of instances and memory).
I’ve seen that a higher number of [C instances were being instantiated in a particular implementation and recently I figured out that the origin was the use of Try.filter (Success.filter to be more precise).
When the predicate doesn’t hold, a new Failure with an NoSuchElementException wich message is created appending value.toString (in my case the value was a heavy object).
IMHO this isn’t transparent and in my particular case it was causing a bug that was hard to track and see at first sight.
Although I was able to find a very simple solution moving the predicate inside the foreach that was after the filter, this could be different in some case, so I was wondering if it would be better to avoid the append (considering that is mainly useful for debug purposes), what do you think?
Thanks.
