PR #17 comment requested verification that stack-allocated buffers in batch operations (AddBatch, AddBatchString, AddBatchUint64) actually remain on the stack rather than escaping to heap.

Changes

  • Verified with go build -gcflags='-m': Confirmed stackBuf[8] arrays and positions slices do not escape
  • Updated documentation: Replaced generic escape analysis claims with specific verification details explaining why optimization works:
    • positions only read in loops, never stored or captured
    • setBitCacheOptimizedWithOps reads values without capturing slice reference
    • Only fallback make() for hashCount > 8 escapes (expected)

Verification Results

./bloomfilter.go:514:66: positions does not escape
./bloomfilter.go:151:19: make([]uint64, bf.hashCount) escapes to heap  // only else branch

The stack allocation optimization is working as intended for ~90% of use cases (FPR >= 0.01, hashCount ≤ 8).
