Improve performance in where push the element into non shared Array object

• array.c (ary_ensure_room_for_push): use rb_ary_modify_check() instead of
  rb_ary_modify() to check whether the object can be modified for non shared
  Array object. rb_ary_modify() has the codes for shared Array object too.
  In here, it has condition branch for shared / non shared Array object and
  it can use rb_ary_modify_check() which is smaller function than
  rb_ary_modify() for non shared object.

  rb_ary_modify_check() will be expand as inline function.
  If it will compile with GCC, Array#<< will be faster around 8%.

Clang 802.0.42¶

Before¶

        Array#<<      9.353M (± 1.7%) i/s -     46.787M in   5.004123s
      Array#push      7.702M (± 1.1%) i/s -     38.577M in   5.009338s
 Array#values_at      6.133M (± 1.9%) i/s -     30.699M in   5.007772s

After¶

        Array#<<      9.458M (± 2.0%) i/s -     47.357M in   5.009069s
      Array#push      7.921M (± 1.8%) i/s -     39.665M in   5.009151s
 Array#values_at      6.377M (± 2.3%) i/s -     31.881M in   5.001888s

Result¶

Array#<< -> 1.2% faster
Array#push -> 2.8% faster
Array#values_at -> 3.9% faster

GCC 7.1.0¶

Before¶

        Array#<<     10.497M (± 1.1%) i/s -     52.665M in   5.017601s
      Array#push      8.527M (± 1.6%) i/s -     42.777M in   5.018003s
 Array#values_at      7.621M (± 1.7%) i/s -     38.152M in   5.007910s

After¶

        Array#<<     11.403M (± 1.3%) i/s -     57.028M in   5.001849s
      Array#push      8.924M (± 1.3%) i/s -     44.609M in   4.999940s
 Array#values_at      8.291M (± 1.4%) i/s -     41.487M in   5.004727s

Result¶

Array#<< -> 8.3% faster
Array#push -> 4.3% faster
Array#values_at -> 8.7% faster

Test code¶

require 'benchmark/ips'

Benchmark.ips do |x|

x.report "Array#<<" do |i|
i.times { [1,2] << 3 }
end

x.report "Array#push" do |i|
i.times { [1,2].push(3) }
end

x.report "Array#values_at" do |i|
ary = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
i.times { ary.values_at(0, 2, 4) }
end

end
