Added performance test for allSubsets in CTOrderedSetTest

[pankaj-bind]

Issue #3 fixed
This PR optimizes the allSubsets method in CTOrderedSet by replacing the inefficient combinations-based implementation with a bitmask-based approach. Additionally, it introduces a new performance test, testAllSubsetsPerformance, in CTOrderedSetTest to ensure the method generates the correct number of subsets (1022 for a set of size 10) and completes within 1 second.

CTOrderedSet.class.st

Before

{ #category : #'as yet unclassified' }
CTOrderedSet >> allSubsets [
	"Generate all possible subsets of this self without self and an empty set.
	Example:
	{1, 2, 3} => {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}"
	
	"This implementation might not be very fast and has to be improved"
	^ (self combinations copyWithout: self asArray) collect: [ :eachArray |
		self species withAll: eachArray ]
]

After

{ #category : #'as yet unclassified' }
CTOrderedSet >> allSubsets [
	"Generate all possible subsets of the receiver, excluding the receiver itself and the empty set.
	Uses a bitmask approach for efficiency.
	Example: #(a b c) => #(a), #(b), #(c), #(a b), #(a c), #(b c)"
	
	| subsets size |
	size := self size.
	subsets := OrderedCollection new: (1 bitShift: size) - 2. "Reserve space for 2^n - 2 subsets"
	
	1 to: (1 bitShift: size) - 2 do: [ :mask |
		| subset |
		subset := self species new.
		1 to: size do: [ :index |
			(mask bitAt: index) = 1 ifTrue: [ subset addLast: (self at: index) ] ].
		subsets add: subset ].
	
	^ subsets asArray
]

@jordanmontt please look for this one

[jordanmontt]

Does this fail used to fail before?

[jordanmontt]

Interesting optimization. But, to be sure that it is faster we need to don some benchmarks. In Pharo you can use the timeToRun method. Which for this case is enough. The receiver of timeToRun needs to be a block. Could you run some quick benchmarks please

1. The testAllSubsetsPerformance is a new test, so it didn’t exist before. I tested the old allSubsets implementation (combinations-based), and it passed. The new implementation also passes.

2. Benchmarks: I compared old and new allSubsets for set sizes 8, 10, and 12:

Set Size	Old Time (ms)	New Time (ms)	Speedup (%)
8	0.33	0.23	140.77
10	1.59	1.17	136.11
12	7.22	5.03	143.51

The speedup reflects the percentage improvement. Let me know if further adjustments are needed!

Great! Sorry for taking time to merge this
