| /// Adding to this mutable buffer `slice_to_repeat` repeated `repeat_count` times. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I am wondering how much the unsafe log copying here makes a difference, vs ensuring reserve is called correctly.
Did you measure with code that was like:
reserve(slice.len() * repeat_count);
for _ in 0..repeat_count {
buf.extend_from_slice(slice_to_repeat)
}|

| unsafe { | ||
| // Get to the start of the data before we started copying anything | ||
| let src = self.data.as_ptr().add(length_before) as *const u8; |

rustc can probably figure it out, but src is the same for all loop iterations so could be pulled out of the loop I think

yeah, I thought about it but decided not to do it so the code for src and dst is close

# Which issue does this PR close? N/A # Rationale for this change doing `OffsetBuffer::from_lengths(std::iter::repeat_n(size, value.len()));` does not utilize SIMD (I explain further if you want) See [GodBolt Link](https://godbolt.org/z/PTsfvfjqx) Extracted from: - #8653 After this and the pr below is merged will improve the datafusion scalar to array to use this and make it really really fast: - #8658 # What changes are included in this PR? added new function # Are these changes tested? yes # Are there any user-facing changes? yes
