  • Issue:
    Utilities.GetXmlNodeInnerContents accesses node.ChildNodes twice to check Count == 1.
    In .NET Framework, XmlNode.ChildNodes calls new XmlChildNodes(this) on every access — it never caches — so each call produces 2 throwaway heap allocations.
    This method is called for every property and metadata element during evaluation, making it a significant source of GC pressure during solution load.

    Allocation sites (TypeAllocated!System.Xml.XmlChildNodes, ~86% of sampled allocations):

    GetXmlNodeInnerContents
 → XmlNode.get_ChildNodes        ← allocates new XmlChildNodes(this) every call
   → XmlChildNodes.get_Count     ← iterates all children, result used once
     → compared to == 1, wrapper discarded

    Callers on hot path as per Perfwatson traces:

    EvaluatePropertyElement → GetXmlNodeInnerContents        (~21%)
ProcessMetadataElements → GetXmlNodeInnerContents      (~25%)
DecorateItemsWithMetadata → GetXmlNodeInnerContents    (~40%)

  • Issue type: Avoid allocating wrapper objects when allocation-free alternatives exist on the same API surface.

  • Proposed fix: Replace node.ChildNodes.Count == 1 with node.FirstChild.NextSibling == null — a simple pointer check that answers the same question ("is there exactly one child?") with zero allocations. Cache FirstChild in a local and split the compound if into clear separate checks. This is a direct semantic equivalence (FirstChild == null ↔ !HasChildNodes, NextSibling == null ↔ Count == 1), internal-only, and produces identical results for all edge cases.

Pull request overview

Reduces GC pressure in Utilities.GetXmlNodeInnerContents by avoiding repeated XmlNode.ChildNodes accesses (which allocate XmlChildNodes wrappers on .NET Framework) and using allocation-free FirstChild/NextSibling checks instead.

Changes:

  • Replaces node.ChildNodes.Count == 1 checks with firstChild.NextSibling == null to avoid per-call XmlChildNodes allocations.
  • Caches node.FirstChild and simplifies the “no children / single whitespace child / single text or CDATA child” fast paths.
