optimize CMakeBuildDirChooser::buildDirSettings()

Details

Summary

-if we have a match for a key, no other key can match
-match the start of a new line as QByteArray instead of QString, most lines will
not match and all keys are plain ASCII, this saves a lot of needless
conversions and memory allocations
-modify the original line instead of doing a copy, the original one will not
be used again anyway.

Test Plan

Open and build a CMake-based project.

I wonder if that's actually faster. Here we are creating intermediary copies of the QByteArray only to convert to QString.

The QByteArray was already created the same way, now the intermediate object is just cached. But even if that did not change anything it reduces the number of utf8 conversion as only those lines that actually match anything will be converted.

in exchange of much harder to read code.
Was it ever a bottleneck for you?

No, I was just looking at it. I could remove the QByteArray change and reduce it to online the x.remove() and "else if" parts.

using byte arrays is OK imo, but please cleanup the code overall by using a lambda instead of repeating the same thing over and over again

plugins/cmake/cmakebuilddirchooser.cpp
132

const auto rawLine = ...

134

introduce a helper lambda:

auto match = [&rawLine](const QByteArray& prefix, QString* target) -> bool
{
    if (line.startsWith(prefix) {
        *target = QString::formUtf8(line.constData() + prefix.size(), line.size() - prefix.size());
        return true;
    }
    return false;
};

use it:

if (match(srcLine, &srcDir) || match(installLine, &installDir) || match(buildLine, &buildType)) {
    ++cnt;
}
