Christian Hergert 30dfead61b gobject/gclosure: cache libffi plans for closures
If we are using libffi to trampoline then there is opportunity to cache
the ffi_call_plan introduced in newer libffi releases. A rather contrived
test introduced in the previous commit includes a basic performance test
that can compare between versions.

For my system, the average call time dropped from 200ns/call to 145ns/call
for cached GClosure. Since the previous version did no caching, the
uncached GClosure use was also just slightly slower around 205ns/call. For
the cached form (since it can reuse a global plan cache via GMutex) it
drops to 180ns/call. So that is 27.5% savings and a 10% savings in runtime
duration.

Closes: #4002

CI support stuff

Docker image

GitLab CI jobs run in a Docker image, defined here. To update that image (perhaps to install some more packages):

  1. Edit .gitlab-ci/*.Dockerfile with the changes you want
  2. Run .gitlab-ci/run-docker.sh build --base=debian-stable --base-version=1 to build the new image (bump the version from the latest listed for that base on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/container_registry). If rebuilding the coverity.Dockerfile image, you’ll need to have access to Coverity Scan and will need to specify your project name and access token as the environment variables COVERITY_SCAN_PROJECT_NAME and COVERITY_SCAN_TOKEN.
  3. Run .gitlab-ci/run-docker.sh push --base=debian-stable --base-version=1 to upload the new image to the GNOME GitLab Docker registry
    • If this is the first time you're doing this, you'll need to log into the registry
    • If you use 2-factor authentication on your GNOME GitLab account, you'll need to create a personal access token and use that rather than your normal password — the token should have read_registry and write_registry permissions
  4. Edit .gitlab-ci.yml (in the root of this repository) to use your new image
