From bf3afd5f419a2054bf03d963bdd223fbb27b72d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Emilio G. Cota" Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2016 14:55:26 -0400 Subject: qdist: add module to represent frequency distributions of data MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sometimes it is useful to have a quick histogram to represent a certain distribution -- for example, when investigating a performance regression in a hash table due to inadequate hashing. The appended allows us to easily represent a distribution using Unicode characters. Further, the data structure keeping track of the distribution is so simple that obtaining its values for off-line processing is trivial. Example, taking the last 10 commits to QEMU: Characters in commit title Count ----------------------------------- 39 1 48 1 53 1 54 2 57 1 61 1 67 1 78 1 80 1 qdist_init(&dist); qdist_inc(&dist, 39); [...] qdist_inc(&dist, 80); char *str = qdist_pr(&dist, 9, QDIST_PR_LABELS); // -> [39.0,43.6)▂▂ █▂ ▂ ▄[75.4,80.0] g_free(str); char *str = qdist_pr(&dist, 4, QDIST_PR_LABELS); // -> [39.0,49.2)▁█▁▁[69.8,80.0] g_free(str); Reviewed-by: Richard Henderson Signed-off-by: Emilio G.
