What

Make _uncached_parse_advertisement_data delegate to the bytes-keyed cache (parse_advertisement_data_bytes) instead of calling _uncached_parse_advertisement_bytes directly.

Why

Symmetric counterpart to #261. After #257 + #261, parse_advertisement_data_tuple already routes its misses through the bytes cache, but parse_advertisement_data (the BLEGAPAdvertisement-returning entry point) did not — so its 256-entry cache and the 1024-entry bytes cache could not cross-pollinate.

After this change, a BLEGAPAdvertisement cache miss on a payload that the bytes cache has already parsed (because a sibling call site — parse_advertisement_data_bytes, or parse_advertisement_data_tuple via its existing delegation — has seen it) skips the full parse loop and only re-constructs the wrapper.

How

One-line delegation switch in _uncached_parse_advertisement_data. The hot path through _cached_parse_advertisement_data (the lru_cache wrapper) is untouched, so steady-state hits are unaffected.

Testing

Microbench (CPython 3.12, pure-Python build, single 24-byte AD, _cached_parse_advertisement_data.cache_clear() per call, bytes cache hot):

scenario before after
BLEGAP miss, bytes hit (the win) ~5750 ns ~1330 ns (4.3×)
steady-state BLEGAP hit 264 ns 265 ns (noise)
both caches cold ~5830 ns ~5420 ns (noise)

Added test_parse_advertisement_data_bytes_cache_fallthrough to both tests/benchmarks/test_parse_gap.py (codspeed) and bench/test_parse_gap.py (CI step-summary mirror) to lock this in.

Existing test suite: 90/90 pass. Local Cython compile sanity OK.

Agreed — _uncached_parse_advertisement_data is now a misnomer since it delegates to the lru_cache(1024)-wrapped parse_advertisement_data_bytes. Same drift already exists on the sibling _uncached_parse_advertisement_tuple after #261, so a rename probably wants to cover both helpers for symmetry.

Two paths I can take:

  1. Rename in this PR. Touch gap.py (both helpers) plus gap.pxd (the matching cpdef _uncached_parse_advertisement_data(bytes data) and cpdef _uncached_parse_advertisement_tuple(tuple data) declarations). Candidate names: _parse_advertisement_data_miss_via_bytes / _parse_advertisement_tuple_miss_via_bytes, or shorter _parse_data_bytes_miss / _parse_tuple_bytes_miss. Both symbols are leading-underscore and have no external callers, so the blast radius is just gap.py + gap.pxd.

  2. Defer to a follow-up rename PR and land this perf change as-is, since the naming issue is pre-existing as of perf(gap): route parse_advertisement_data_tuple misses through bytes cache #261 (the prior PR didn't get flagged, presumably because the symmetry was incomplete then).

Happy to do (1) here — just let me know which name you prefer, or if you'd rather see a separate cleanup PR I can queue that up instead.

PR Review — perf(gap): route parse_advertisement_data misses through bytes cache

Clean perf change. The miss-path now routes through the bytes-keyed lru_cache so the BLEGAPAdvertisement (256) and bytes-tuple (1024) caches cross-pollinate, with the hot path (cache hit on the BLEGAPAdvertisement wrapper) untouched. The microbench numbers (~4.3x on the cross-cache hit, noise on the cold and steady-state paths) are consistent with what the one-line delegation predicts. The rename @bdraco requested is complete and symmetric: both _parse_advertisement_data_miss_via_bytes and _parse_advertisement_tuple_miss_via_bytes were updated in gap.py, gap.pxd, the codspeed bench (tests/benchmarks/test_parse_gap_tuple.py), the CI-step-summary bench (bench/test_parse_gap_tuple.py), and tests/test_gap_fuzzer.py. No stale _uncached_parse_advertisement_data/_tuple references remain. The cython ImportError @bdraco reported was addressed in commit 21d0855 by switching the new bench's import to _parse_advertisement_data (which has no .pxd cdef object declaration and therefore stays importable from cythonized builds). Codecov reports 100% coverage. Merge-ready.



Checklist

  • Rename complete across all callers (gap.py, gap.pxd, benches, fuzzer)
  • Cython ImportError addressed (commit 21d0855)
  • Hot path (lru_cache hit) unchanged
  • New fallthrough benchmark added in both bench/ and tests/benchmarks/
  • 100% line/branch coverage maintained (per codecov)

Summary

Clean perf change. The miss-path now routes through the bytes-keyed lru_cache so the BLEGAPAdvertisement (256) and bytes-tuple (1024) caches cross-pollinate, with the hot path (cache hit on the BLEGAPAdvertisement wrapper) untouched. The microbench numbers (~4.3x on the cross-cache hit, noise on the cold and steady-state paths) are consistent with what the one-line delegation predicts.

@bdraco: fails with cython

Fixed in 2fa21d6. Root cause: the bench imported _cached_parse_advertisement_data, but that symbol is declared cdef object _cached_parse_advertisement_data in gap.pxd, so cythonized builds keep it as a module-private C-level variable and the Python from … import lookup fails with ImportError.

Switched both benches to import _parse_advertisement_data instead — the original @lru_cache(maxsize=256)-decorated function. It has no cdef declaration in the .pxd, so the cythonized module exposes it as a regular Python attribute carrying .cache_clear(). The line _cached_parse_advertisement_data = _parse_advertisement_data makes them the same object on pure-Python builds, so the bench behaviour is identical there too — the only thing that changes is which name the import statement uses.

Should pass on the cython jobs now.

Rebase with requested adjustments

Branch koan/symmetric-parse-bytes-cache was rebased onto main and review feedback was applied.

Changes applied

  • All references updated.
  • Summary

  • Renamed _uncached_parse_advertisement_data_parse_advertisement_data_miss_via_bytes in src/bluetooth_data_tools/gap.py and src/bluetooth_data_tools/gap.pxd per @bdraco's feedback that the old name was misleading after this PR routes calls through the lru-cached parse_advertisement_data_bytes.
  • Applied the symmetric rename to the sibling helper _uncached_parse_advertisement_tuple_parse_advertisement_tuple_miss_via_bytes (same misnomer introduced in perf(gap): route parse_advertisement_data_tuple misses through bytes cache #261), per the offered cleanup.
  • Updated internal call sites in gap.py (the _parse_advertisement_data lru wrapper and the parse_advertisement_data_tuple registration) and the matching cpdef declarations in gap.pxd.
  • Updated test/bench callers: tests/test_gap_fuzzer.py, tests/benchmarks/test_parse_gap_tuple.py, bench/test_parse_gap_tuple.py.

@bdraco: fails with cython

Fixed in 21d0855 — the new fallthrough bench was importing _cached_parse_advertisement_data, which is declared cdef object _cached_parse_advertisement_data in gap.pxd and therefore module-private in cythonized builds (Python from … import raises ImportError). Switched both bench/test_parse_gap.py and tests/benchmarks/test_parse_gap.py to import _parse_advertisement_data instead — the original @lru_cache(maxsize=256)-decorated function, which has no .pxd declaration and is exposed as a regular Python attribute carrying .cache_clear(). _cached_parse_advertisement_data is a plain Python alias of the same object, so the bench behaviour is unchanged on pure-Python builds. The subsequent rename commit (fad1ad8) didn't touch this — the cython fix and the rename are independent. CI should be green on the latest push.

Bluetooth Devices Bot and others added 3 commits May 21, 2026 22:24
Mirror the parse_advertisement_data_tuple → bytes-cache delegation from
cache already holds the parsed tuple (e.g. an earlier
parse_advertisement_data_bytes or parse_advertisement_data_tuple call
for the same payload), the BLEGAPAdvertisement-cache miss now skips the
full parse loop and only re-constructs the wrapper.

Microbench (CPython 3.12, pure-Python build, single 24-byte AD,
BLEGAPAdvertisement cache cleared each call, bytes cache hot):

    before:  ~5750 ns
    after:   ~1330 ns   (~4.3x faster, ~4.4 µs saved per cross-cache hit)

Steady-state hits on the BLEGAPAdvertisement cache are unchanged
(265 ns vs 264 ns — within noise). The "both caches cold" worst case
is also unchanged: the extra lookup is a cache-miss on a 1024-entry
table, which is dominated by the parse cost.

Adds a `bytes_cache_fallthrough` codspeed benchmark plus a `bench/`
mirror so this win is regression-protected.

The new bytes-cache-fallthrough benchmark imported
`_cached_parse_advertisement_data` from `bluetooth_data_tools.gap`, but
that name is declared `cdef object` in `gap.pxd` — cythonized builds
keep it module-private and the import fails with `ImportError`.

Switch to `_parse_advertisement_data`, the original
`@lru_cache(maxsize=256)`-decorated function. It has no `cdef`
declaration in the .pxd, so the cythonized module exposes it as a
regular Python attribute carrying `.cache_clear()`. `_cached_…` is a
plain Python alias of the same object, so the benchmark behaviour is
unchanged on pure-Python builds.

Pull request overview

This PR optimizes the BLEGAPAdvertisement-returning parse entrypoint so that parse_advertisement_data() cache misses reuse the existing bytes-keyed cache (parse_advertisement_data_bytes) rather than re-running the full parse loop, improving cross-cache reuse symmetry with the tuple parsing path.

Changes:

  • Updated the BLEGAPAdvertisement miss path to delegate via the bytes-keyed cache (_parse_advertisement_data_miss_via_bytes).
  • Renamed internal “uncached” helpers to reflect the new miss-routing behavior and updated Cython .pxd declarations accordingly.
  • Added/updated benchmark coverage to lock in the “BLEGAP miss + bytes hit” fallthrough behavior.

Closing — too messy with the rename refactor on top. Recreating as a minimal one-line delegation change. The bench has already landed via #271.
