HAProxy - Load balancer
Some tables are currently used to decode bit blocks and lengths. We do
see such lookups in perf top. We have 4 512-byte tables and one 64-byte
one. Looking closer, the second half of the table (length) has so few
variations that most of the time it will be computed in a single "if",
and never more than 3. This alone allows to cut the tables in half. In
addition, one table (bits 15-11) is only 32-element long, while another
one (bits 11-4) starts at 0x60, so we can merge the two as they do not
overlap, and further save size. We're now down to 4 256-entries tables.
This is visible in h3 and h2 where the max request rate is slightly higher
(e.g. +1.6% for h2). The huff_dec() function got slightly larger but the
overall code size shrunk:
$ nm --size haproxy-before | grep huff_dec
000000000000029e T huff_dec
$ nm --size haproxy-after | grep huff_dec
0000000000000345 T huff_dec
$ size haproxy-before haproxy-after

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for : - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use - LICENSE for the project's license - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory : - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux - doc/management.txt for the management guide - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
