It's pretty bad that Bindings effectively wasted whole 8 bytes (4 for capacity and + 4 for alignment padding) to store something it doesn't actually need. BindingsBuilder allows the capacity to be checked at construction time, after which the Bindings does not get mutated aside from the ugly case of builtins, which doesn't get built all at once. For `nix search --no-eval-cache github:nixos/nixpkgs/e1fa12d4f6c6fe19ccb59cac54b5b3f25e160870 hello` this shaves off around 53MB allocations out of 2GB used for attrsets in total: < "bytes": 2001170768, --- > "bytes": 1947398072, < "Bindings": 16, --- > "Bindings": 8, Nix PR: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/13919 Change-Id: I939c5ac545f5abbca048370dcf4936346339d75c
