Speed up wrapper generation #125

Description

@kwabenantim

Summary

Running PyChaste wrapper generation ( ~270 wrapped classes, ~1,300 headers) takes ~12 min.

Preliminary profiling results show:

  • ~ 1/3 of the time is spent in the CastXML/pygccxml parse stage.
  • ~ 2/3 of the time is spent in the Python wrapper generation code.

Options for potential speedup could involve:

  • Optimising repetitive pathlib and regex operations.
  • Tightening restrictions on source paths walked (e.g. build dirs).
  • Optimising sort_classes.
  • Optimising hierarchy_attribute searches.
  • Parallelising the CastXML parse by splitting the header collection.
