Code Review
This pull request optimizes the UpdateConfig function in the legacy AutoHotkey v1 script Citra_3DS_Manager.ahk by reducing temporary string allocations during file parsing and finalization. It also introduces a counter to skip key-matching logic once all updates have been processed. Feedback suggests further optimizing a specific line within the parsing loop to maintain consistency with the rest of the performance-oriented changes.
| keyCandidate := RTrim(SubStr(line, 1, pos-1)) | ||
| if (remaining.HasKey(keyCandidate)){ | ||
| val := remaining[keyCandidate] | ||
| line := keyCandidate "=" val |

To maintain consistency with the optimization goal of avoiding temporary string allocations in AutoHotkey v1, this chained assignment should be split into separate operations. While this line executes at most once per update, it currently creates a temporary string for the expression keyCandidate "=" val before assignment, which contradicts the rationale provided in the PR description for other similar changes in the parsing and finalization loops.
line := keyCandidate
line .= "="
line .= val

Pull request overview
This PR updates the legacy AutoHotkey v1 Citra 3DS Manager config-rewrite routine to reduce per-line work during config parsing and to avoid multi-part chained .= concatenations.
Changes:
- Adds a
remCountguard to skipInStr/HasKeywork once all requested key updates have been applied. - Replaces single-expression concatenations like
newContent .= line "n"with consecutive appends (newContent .= linethennewContent .= "n").
| if (remCount > 0) { | ||
| pos := InStr(line, "=") | ||
| if (pos > 1){ | ||
| keyCandidate := RTrim(SubStr(line, 1, pos-1)) | ||
| if (remaining.HasKey(keyCandidate)){ |
💡 What:
remCountearly-exit guard to skip dictionary lookups (InStr,HasKey) when all configuration updates are satisfied.var .= a b c) with single-part consecutive assignments (var .= a,var .= b).🎯 Why:
VarSetCapacityprior to the loop to allocate memory, it was using chained.=within the parsing loop, which inherently causes AutoHotkey v1 to allocate tiny temporary strings prior to the main append operation.InStrandHasKeylookup for every single line of the configuration file, even if all modifications had already been applied near the top of the file.📊 Measured Improvement:
Note: As this system operates in a headless Linux environment, direct benchmark execution against the native AHK v1 interpreter was not feasible. However, theoretical runtime complexity checks map directly to established AHK v1 optimization best practices.
