Description
Proposal to fix #5712.
I have changed to
ClosestIter
structure to only allocate whenkbucket_size
is higher thanK_VALUE
and only once along the life ofClosestIter
. I think I did not break anything but I would really like some experienced people with Kademlia to take a look (@guillaumemichel 😉).Notes & open questions
I have kept thesort_by
in theIterator
implementation ofClosestIter
but I think we could remove every allocation whatsoever if we usedmin_by
but I'm not sure that it would not change the research behaviour that's why I did not changed it. If experienced developers think that it would be equivalent I will do it.It was a dumb question. I did not fully understood how the
ClosestIter
was working.Change checklist
