[llvm-dev] llvm::Record::isSubClassOf(StringRef Name) constructs a new std::string

[<Alexander G. Riccio> via llvm-dev]

llvm::Record::isSubClassOf(StringRef Name) looks like this:

  bool isSubClassOf(StringRef Name) const {
    for (const auto &SCPair : SuperClasses) {
      if (SCPair.first->getNameInitAsString() == Name)
        return true;
    }
    return false;
  }

Where getNameInitAsString copy constructs a new std::string. We're only
using that temporary in a comparison. Is there a better way?

This function is called quite frequently, so it becomes costly.

Sincerely,
Alexander Riccio
