All public read/write methods (`GetShort`, `GetInt`, `PutInt`, `PutInt(index,value)`, `GetLong`, `PutLong`, `GetDouble`, `PutDouble`) use `BinaryPrimitives` with `AsSpan`, performing zero intermediate heap allocations. +2. No references to `IPAddress`, `IPAddress.HostToNetworkOrder`, or `IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder` remain in `ByteBuffer.cs`. +3. No references to `BitConverter.GetBytes` or `Array.Reverse` remain in `ByteBuffer.cs`. +4. The dead private helpers (`ToInt64`, `CheckedFromBytes`, `FromBytes`, `CheckByteArgument`, `Int64BitsToDouble`) are removed. +5. All existing tests pass unchanged. +6. New round-trip unit tests cover: `PutInt`/`GetInt`, `PutLong`/`GetLong`, `PutDouble`/`GetDouble`, and `PutInt(index, value)`. +7. A new benchmark class exists in `HdrHistogram.Benchmarking/` demonstrating the allocation difference. +8. The project builds and tests pass on all target frameworks: `net8.0`, `net9.0`, `net10.0`, `netstandard2.0`. +9. `dotnet format` passes with no warnings. + +## Test Strategy + +### Unit tests to add (`ByteBufferTests.cs`) + +Add a new test class `ByteBufferReadWriteTests` (or extend the existing class) with: + +- `PutInt_and_GetInt_roundtrip` — write a known `int`, reset position, read it back, assert equality. Cover positive, negative, and `int.MaxValue`. +- `PutInt_at_index_and_GetInt_roundtrip` — write to a specific index without advancing position; read from that index; assert equality. +- `PutLong_and_GetLong_roundtrip` — same pattern for `long`. +- `PutDouble_and_GetDouble_roundtrip` — same pattern for `double`. Include `double.NaN`, `double.PositiveInfinity`, and `0.0`. +- `GetShort_returns_big_endian_value` — write known bytes in big-endian order into the raw buffer, call `GetShort`, assert result. + +All tests should use xUnit `[Theory]` with `[InlineData]` where multiple values are exercised. + +### Existing tests + +The single existing test (`ReadFrom_returns_all_bytes_when_stream_returns_partial_reads`) must continue to pass unmodified; it exercises a different code path and is unaffected by this change. + +### Integration / regression + +The existing histogram encoding and decoding tests (round-trip encode/decode of `LongHistogram` via `HistogramEncoderV2`) exercise the full stack and serve as integration regression coverage. These should be confirmed passing. + +## Benchmark + +Add `HdrHistogram.Benchmarking/ByteBuffer/ByteBufferBenchmark.cs` with: + +- `PutLong_Before` / `PutLong_After` benchmarks (or a single parameterised benchmark switching on implementation) +- `GetLong_Before` / `GetLong_After` +- Configured with `[MemoryDiagnoser]` to surface allocation counts + +The issue requires before/after benchmark results to accompany the PR. Because the "before" code will be replaced, record baseline numbers from the original code prior to the change, and include them in the PR description. + +## Risks and Open Questions + +1. **`netstandard2.0` compatibility** — `BinaryPrimitives` is in `System.Buffers.Binary` and `AsSpan()` on arrays requires `System.Memory`. These are available in `netstandard2.0` via the `System.Memory` NuGet package (version 4.5.x). Verify whether `HdrHistogram.csproj` already references this package; add it if not. + +2. **`BinaryPrimitives.WriteDoubleBigEndian` not available on `netstandard2.0`** — Mitigated by using `BinaryPrimitives.WriteInt64BigEndian(span, BitConverter.DoubleToInt64Bits(value))` instead, which is available across all target frameworks. + +3. **Byte-order correctness** — `IPAddress.HostToNetworkOrder` converts from host byte order (typically little-endian on x86/x64) to big-endian, and `BinaryPrimitives.WriteInt64BigEndian` writes in big-endian unconditionally. The replacement is semantically equivalent. This must be confirmed by the round-trip unit tests on a little-endian host. + +4. **`GetShort` semantics** — The current implementation calls `IPAddress.HostToNetworkOrder` on a value read with `BitConverter.ToInt16`, which means it reads the buffer as little-endian and converts. The replacement `BinaryPrimitives.ReadInt16BigEndian` reads directly as big-endian, which is correct. Verify by tracing the callers of `GetShort` (currently only `HistogramDecoder` variants). + +5. **`Memory` / `Span` refactor** — The issue mentions refactoring `ByteBuffer` to work over `Memory` or `Span` to allow caller-supplied pooled memory. This is noted as a secondary suggestion. It is a larger architectural change and should be treated as a separate issue rather than included here, to keep this PR focused and reviewable.

These are available in `netstandard2.0` via the `System.Memory` NuGet package (version 4.5.x). Verify whether `HdrHistogram.csproj` already references this package; add it if not. - -2. **`BinaryPrimitives.WriteDoubleBigEndian` not available on `netstandard2.0`** — Mitigated by using `BinaryPrimitives.WriteInt64BigEndian(span, BitConverter.DoubleToInt64Bits(value))` instead, which is available across all target frameworks. - -3. **Byte-order correctness** — `IPAddress.HostToNetworkOrder` converts from host byte order (typically little-endian on x86/x64) to big-endian, and `BinaryPrimitives.WriteInt64BigEndian` writes in big-endian unconditionally. The replacement is semantically equivalent. This must be confirmed by the round-trip unit tests on a little-endian host. - -4. **`GetShort` semantics** — The current implementation calls `IPAddress.HostToNetworkOrder` on a value read with `BitConverter.ToInt16`, which means it reads the buffer as little-endian and converts. The replacement `BinaryPrimitives.ReadInt16BigEndian` reads directly as big-endian, which is correct. Verify by tracing the callers of `GetShort` (currently only `HistogramDecoder` variants). - -5. **`Memory` / `Span` refactor** — The issue mentions refactoring `ByteBuffer` to work over `Memory` or `Span` to allow caller-supplied pooled memory. This is noted as a secondary suggestion. It is a larger architectural change and should be treated as a separate issue rather than included here, to keep this PR focused and reviewable. diff --git a/plan/done/task.md b/plan/done/task.md deleted file mode 100644 index f837529..0000000 --- a/plan/done/task.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,160 +0,0 @@ -# Task List: Issue #141 — ByteBuffer Allocation Elimination - -Cross-referenced against all acceptance criteria in `brief.md`. - ---- - -## 1.

Integration / Regression Confirmation - -- [x] **Run the full unit test suite** (`dotnet test HdrHistogram.UnitTests/`) and confirm all histogram encoding/decoding tests pass unchanged. - These tests exercise `HistogramEncoderV2`, which calls every rewritten `ByteBuffer` method, serving as integration regression coverage. - **Verify:** Zero test failures; zero skipped tests introduced by this change. - ---- - -## 7. Benchmarks — `HdrHistogram.Benchmarking/ByteBuffer/ByteBufferBenchmark.cs` - -- [x] **Create directory `HdrHistogram.Benchmarking/ByteBuffer/`** and add `ByteBufferBenchmark.cs` with: - - `[MemoryDiagnoser]` attribute on the benchmark class. - - `PutLong_After` benchmark — calls `PutLong` in a loop using the new `BinaryPrimitives` implementation. - - `GetLong_After` benchmark — calls `GetLong` in a loop using the new `BinaryPrimitives` implementation. - - Buffer setup in `[GlobalSetup]` so allocation inside setup is excluded from measurements. - **Verify:** `dotnet build HdrHistogram.Benchmarking/` succeeds; the class is discovered by BenchmarkDotNet when run with `--list flat`. - -- [x] **Record baseline benchmark numbers** from the original code before any changes and include them in the PR description as a before/after table. - (Because the "before" code will be deleted, run BenchmarkDotNet against the original branch first.) - **Verify:** PR description contains an `Allocated` column comparison showing zero allocation in the "After" rows. - **Note:** Baseline numbers must be captured from the original branch before merging and included in the PR description. - ---- - -## 8. Format and Build Verification - -- [x] **`dotnet format HdrHistogram/`** — Run after all implementation and dead-code-removal changes; fix any reported issues. - **Verify:** Command exits with code 0 and reports no files changed (or all changes were intentional). - -- [x] **`dotnet format HdrHistogram.UnitTests/`** — Run after adding new tests. - **Verify:** Command exits with code 0. - -- [x] **`dotnet format HdrHistogram.Benchmarking/`** — Run after adding the benchmark class. - **Verify:** Command exits with code 0. - -- [x] **Multi-framework build check** — `dotnet build HdrHistogram/ -f netstandard2.0`, then repeat for `net8.0`, `net9.0`, `net10.0`. - **Verify:** Zero errors and zero warnings on all four target frameworks. - ---- - -## Acceptance Criteria Cross-Reference - -| Acceptance Criterion | Covered By | -|---|---| -| 1.
