optimize converting UNIX timestamp to localtime
Make a huge difference (cuts the time in half to process the same amount of lines) on atleast glibc 2.30 on Void Linux. Seems to make no difference on OpenBSD. - This removes atleast one heap allocation per line (checked with valgrind). This is because glibc will strdup() the environment variable $TZ and free it each time, which is pointless here and wasteful. - localtime_r does not require to set the variables like tzname. In glibc-2.30/time/tzset.c in __tz_convert is the following code and comment: /* Update internal database according to current TZ setting. POSIX.1 8.3.7.2 says that localtime_r is not required to set tzname. This is a good idea since this allows at least a bit more parallelism. */ tzset_internal (tp == &_tmbuf && use_localtime); This makes it always tzset() and inspect the environment $TZ etc. While with localtime_r it will only initialize it once: static void tzset_internal (int always) { [...] if (is_initialized && !always) return;
