- Use return values instead of return arguments
- Remove the socket index lookup which was only used once
- Always use the topology cache for node_find_node
- Improve the documentation
- Add a const version of node_find_node
Overall, I think always using the topology cache will give more
predictable performance. Though it may require more cache
rebuilds after the node tree is changed, in practice there are
plenty of other things that require that already. This way, code
that doesn't change the node tree will get better performance
without having to think about the caching.
