Unfortunately no. This code has been there for quite a while. The issue is basically that we were doing performance analysis of ausearch/report and libauparse. We found that the integer to string lookups were causing a performance hit. Mirek wrote some code to turn these from a serial search into a sorted list that I think are now searched using a b-tree algorithm. So, at compile time what happens is these tables are sorted so that later they are fast. This improved performance quite a bit. -Steve -- Linux-audit mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-audit
