Using `append!` instead of `push!` and letting efficient dynamic
reallocation of vector do the resizing:
function vcat_nosplat2a(y)
result = Array(eltype(y[1]), 0)
for a in y
append!(result, a)
end
result
end
(@benchmark shows way less allocations and 2-3x time)
BTW the
That doesn’t quite seem to do what you want, Mauro:
julia> arr_of_arr = Vector{Int}[[1],[2,3],[4,5]]
3-element Array{Array{Int64,1},1}:
[1]
[2,3]
[4,5]
julia> vcat_nosplat(y) = eltype(y[1])[el[1] for el in y]
vcat_nosplat (generic function with 1 method)
julia> vcat_nosplat(arr_of_arr)
Using append! is definitely an improvement, thanks!
The reason I included the sizehint! call was that this resizes the vector
*once*, and without requiring to copy any elements, and I assumed those
saved copies would quickly win over having to iterate the collection an
extra time to get the

Yes, you're right, sorry for the noise!

I have a big vector of vectors. Is there any way to vcat/hcat them without
splatting?
arr_of_arr = Vector[[1],[2,3],[4,5]]
vcat(arr_of_arr...)
I'm asking because splatting big arrays is a performance issue (and IIRC it
blows the stack at some point).
In ODE.jl, I've used
vcat_nosplat(y) = eltype(y[1])[el[1] for el in y] # Does vcat(y...) without the
splatting
I think the eltype might not be needed. There may be better ways though.
