exposed-0003: Table.clone — O(N²) repeated List allocation in property filter
Severity: MEDIUM File: exposed-core/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/exposed/v1/core/Table.kt Line: 1686 Status: PATCHED
Description
The private T.clone() utility in Table is used internally when cloning column objects (e.g., during
alias creation and column type mutation). It contains:
val allValues = memberProperties
.filter { it in mutableProperties || it.name in consParams.map(KParameter::name) }
.associate { it.name to (replaceArgs[it] ?: it.get(this@clone)) }
The predicate it.name in consParams.map(KParameter::name) is evaluated for every element of
memberProperties. Each evaluation calls .map(KParameter::name), allocating a fresh List<String?>.
For a class with P properties and C constructor parameters, this is P × C string comparisons plus P list
allocations.
Column classes can have 10–20 properties; this is called once per column per alias/clone operation. In a
query with 50 aliased columns this function runs 50 times, each time performing up to 400 string comparisons
with 20 temporary List allocations per call — 20 000 comparisons and 1 000 heap allocations total.
Root Cause
consParams.map(KParameter::name) is a lambda-captured expression inside the .filter {} predicate.
Kotlin does not hoist it; it runs inside the hot loop.
Fix
Pre-compute the parameter name set once, outside the filter:
// Before (O(P×C) with P list allocations):
val allValues = memberProperties
.filter { it in mutableProperties || it.name in consParams.map(KParameter::name) }
.associate { it.name to (replaceArgs[it] ?: it.get(this@clone)) }
// After (O(P) with O(1) lookup):
val consParamNames = consParams.mapTo(HashSet()) { it.name }
val allValues = memberProperties
.filter { it in mutableProperties || it.name in consParamNames }
.associate { it.name to (replaceArgs[it] ?: it.get(this@clone)) }
