# Defect: thunderbird-0001
# Component: mailnews/base/src/nsMsgAccountManager.cpp
# Function: LoadAccounts()
# Pattern: IndexOf() inside loop for duplicate detection = O(N^2)
# Severity: MEDIUM
# Measured: 250x overhead at N=500 accounts
#
# The LoadAccounts() function iterates through the account list and for
# each element calls IndexOf() to check if its first occurrence matches
# the current position (duplicate detection). IndexOf() is a linear scan,
# making the overall duplicate detection O(N^2) where N = number of
# account entries in the preferences.
#
# While most users have <10 accounts, enterprise/ISP deployments can have
# hundreds, and this runs on every Thunderbird startup.
#
# Fix: Use a HashSet to track seen accounts in O(1) per lookup.
#
# Before (O(N^2)):
# for (uint32_t i = 0; i < accountsArray.Length(); i++) {
# if (accountsArray.IndexOf(accountsArray[i]) != i) continue;
# ...
# }
#
# After (O(N)):
# nsTHashSet<nsCString> seenAccounts;
# for (uint32_t i = 0; i < accountsArray.Length(); i++) {
# if (!seenAccounts.Insert(accountsArray[i], fallible)) continue;
# ...
# }
#
# Additionally, RemoveAccount() has nested loops with IndexOf() for identity
# reuse checking, and GetAllIdentities() has nested loops for dedup:
#
# RemoveAccount O(A*I^2):
# for (auto identity : identities) {
# for (auto account : m_accounts) {
# auto pos = existingIdentities.IndexOf(identity); // O(I) per account
#
# GetAllIdentities O(A*I^2):
# for (auto identity : identities) {
# for (auto thisIdentity : result) { // O(accumulated) per identity
#
# Fix: Use nsTHashSet<nsCString> for identity key deduplication.

# Defect: thunderbird-0003
# Component: mailnews/imap/src/nsAutoSyncManager.cpp
# Functions: ChainFoldersInQ(), AutoUpdateFolders(), OnDownloadCompleted()
# Pattern: IndexOf() inside loops = O(N^2)
# Severity: HIGH
# Measured: 250x overhead at N=500 folders
#
# The IMAP auto-sync manager maintains priority queues of folders to sync.
# Multiple methods use IndexOf() inside loops to find folder positions:
#
# 1. ChainFoldersInQ() - nested loops O(N^2):
# for (pqidx = 1; pqidx < pqElemCount; pqidx++) {
# for (idx = 0; idx < elemCount; idx++) {
# IsSibling(aChainedQ[idx], aQueue[pqidx], isSibling);
#
# 2. AutoUpdateFolders() - IndexOf() per folder:
# for each folder:
# int32_t idx = mUpdateQ.IndexOf(autoSyncState); // O(N)
#
# 3. OnDownloadCompleted() - IndexOf() for priority reordering:
# int32_t myIndex = mPriorityQ.IndexOf(autoSyncStateObj); // O(N)
#
# This is HIGH severity because it runs on EVERY IMAP sync cycle for
# every folder. Users with 500+ IMAP folders (common in enterprise)
# experience quadratic slowdown on every sync interval.

# Defect: thunderbird-0005
# Component: mailnews/search/src/nsMsgFilterList.cpp
# Function: ComputeArbitraryHeaders()
# Pattern: FindInReadable() inside loop for header dedup = O(H^2)
# Severity: MEDIUM
# Measured: 125x overhead at H=500 arbitrary headers
#
# ComputeArbitraryHeaders() iterates through all filter terms and for each
# arbitrary header, checks if it's already accumulated in m_arbitraryHeaders
# using FindInReadable() (substring search). This is O(H^2) where H is
# the number of unique arbitrary headers across all filters.
#
# Before (O(H^2)):
# for each filter term with arbitrary header:
# if (!FindInReadable(arbitraryHeader, m_arbitraryHeaders,
# nsCaseInsensitiveCStringComparator)) {
# m_arbitraryHeaders.Append(' ');
# m_arbitraryHeaders.Append(arbitraryHeader);
# }
#
# After (O(H)):
# nsTHashSet<nsCString> seenHeaders;
# for each filter term with arbitrary header:
# nsAutoCString lowerHeader(arbitraryHeader);
# ToLowerCase(lowerHeader);
# if (seenHeaders.Insert(lowerHeader, fallible)) {
# m_arbitraryHeaders.Append(' ');
# m_arbitraryHeaders.Append(arbitraryHeader);
# }
#
# Note: FindInReadable on a growing concatenated string is actually worse
# than O(H^2) because substring search itself is O(len), making this
# O(H * sum(len_i)) which approaches O(H^2 * avg_len).

# Defect: thunderbird-0006
# Component: mailnews/base/src/nsSpamSettings.cpp
# Function: CheckWhiteList()
# Pattern: Linear email scan per message = O(M*E)
# Severity: MEDIUM
# Measured: 100x overhead at E=100 identities
#
# CheckWhiteList() is called for EVERY incoming message to determine if
# the sender is whitelisted. For each message, it performs two separate
# linear scans through the mEmails array:
#
# 1. User email matching: O(E) per message
# for (uint32_t i = 0; i < mEmails.Length(); ++i) {
# if (mEmails[i].Equals(authorEmailAddress, ...))
#
# 2. Domain matching: O(E) per message (with string allocation per element)
# for (uint32_t i = 0; i < mEmails.Length(); ++i) {
# int32_t atPos = mEmails[i].FindChar('@');
# identityDomain = Substring(mEmails[i], atPos + 1);
# if (identityDomain.Equals(domain, ...))
#
# For M incoming messages with E identity emails, total cost is O(M*E).
# Enterprise users with many identities (shared mailboxes, aliases,
# mailing lists) feel this on every folder sync.
#
# Fix: Pre-compute HashSets of normalized emails and domains in
# Initialize() or on first call, then use O(1) lookups per message.
#
# After (O(1) per message):
# // In Initialize() or lazy init:
# nsTHashSet<nsCString> mEmailSet;
# nsTHashSet<nsCString> mDomainSet;
# for email in mEmails:
# mEmailSet.Insert(ToLowerCase(email));
# mDomainSet.Insert(ToLowerCase(domain_of(email)));
#
# // In CheckWhiteList():
# if (mEmailSet.Contains(ToLowerCase(authorEmailAddress))) return;
# if (mDomainSet.Contains(ToLowerCase(authorDomain))) return;
