While writing instance annotations, we only write annotations if they don't start with odata. or if they do start with odata. but they aren't in a list of known annotation names. These checks are conceptually correct, but the logic as written requires checking the annotation name for odata. more than once. While updating the code to remove this logic, I wrote a test to validate that instance annotations of different kind were still written/not written accordingly. While doing this, I discovered that the ODataInstanceAnnotation type validates that the name isn't an OData instance annotation in the first place. Because of this, there is no reason to validate the annotation name at all while writing the annotations, so I've removed that unnecessary logic.

The ODataInstanceAnnotation type also validates that the name is well-formed by checking if it contains a . character to ensure that a namespace is present. It further confirms that the . does not come at the beginning or the end of the name. The code as written would check for the presence of a . and then would check if the first or last character was a .. However, if the first or last character is a ., there's no need to do the initial check. I have changed the order of these predicates so that the string is not enumerated unless all of the other conditions are met first.

@pull-request-quantifier-deprecated

This PR has 10 quantified lines of changes. In general, a change size of upto 200 lines is ideal for the best PR experience!


Quantification details

Label      : Extra Small
Size       : +7 -3
Percentile : 4%

Total files changed: 3

Change summary by file extension:
.cs : +7 -3

Change counts above are quantified counts, based on the PullRequestQuantifier customizations.

Why proper sizing of changes matters

Optimal pull request sizes drive a better predictable PR flow as they strike a
balance between between PR complexity and PR review overhead. PRs within the
optimal size (typical small, or medium sized PRs) mean:

  • Fast and predictable releases to production:
    • Optimal size changes are more likely to be reviewed faster with fewer
      iterations.
    • Similarity in low PR complexity drives similar review times.
  • Review quality is likely higher as complexity is lower:
    • Bugs are more likely to be detected.
    • Code inconsistencies are more likely to be detected.
  • Knowledge sharing is improved within the participants:
    • Small portions can be assimilated better.
  • Better engineering practices are exercised:
    • Solving big problems by dividing them in well contained, smaller problems.
    • Exercising separation of concerns within the code changes.

What can I do to optimize my changes

  • Use the PullRequestQuantifier to quantify your PR accurately
    • Create a context profile for your repo using the context generator
    • Exclude files that are not necessary to be reviewed or do not increase the review complexity. Example: Autogenerated code, docs, project IDE setting files, binaries, etc. Check out the Excluded section from your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
    • Understand your typical change complexity, drive towards the desired complexity by adjusting the label mapping in your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
    • Only use the labels that matter to you, see context specification to customize your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
  • Change your engineering behaviors
    • For PRs that fall outside of the desired spectrum, review the details and check if:
      • Your PR could be split in smaller, self-contained PRs instead
      • Your PR only solves one particular issue. (For example, don't refactor and code new features in the same PR).

How to interpret the change counts in git diff output

  • One line was added: +1 -0
  • One line was deleted: +0 -1
  • One line was modified: +1 -1 (git diff doesn't know about modified, it will
    interpret that line like one addition plus one deletion)
  • Change percentiles: Change characteristics (addition, deletion, modification)
    of this PR in relation to all other PRs within the repository.

Is there a benchmark that validates this perf improvement by any chance?

Maybe we should make this test a [Theory] instead of a [Fact] and use the name as parameter instead of iterating through the different input options. With a Theory, the results would clearly indicate which option failed in case some cases fail and some pass.

In the PR description you say:
"I wrote a test to validate that instance annotations of different kind were still written/not written accordingly."

Would you mind adding those test cases to the PR, or are they already covered in our existing test suite?

if (name.IndexOf('.') < 0 || name[0] == '.' || name[name.Length - 1] == '.')
// being internal, all callers validate that the name is not empty, but don't validate anything else; here, we validate that there is a namespace,
// indicated by the presence of a period and by characters before and after the period
if (name.Length < 3 || name[0] == '.' || name[name.Length - 1] == '.' || name.IndexOf('.', 1, name.Length - 2) < 0)

@corranrogue9 In the absence of any data to support this optimization, it could easily cause a regression. In my experience, the most common violation is the absence of a .. It's unlikely to be a leading or trailing .. Which means we might end up introducing 3 comparisons from uncommon/rare scenarios before the comparison for the more common/likely scenario.
