Faster File::Compare

Gisle Aas [Wed, 5 Feb 1997 13:42:49 +0000]
Faster File::Compare
The following optimization speeds up File::Compare with 30% on my
machine (in a test where most files in fact were different).
One could perhaps also optimize the situation where the two files are
the same thing. Is it portable to compare (stat)[0,1] for the two
files and return 0 if these two numbers are equal?

Efficiency patchlet for pp_aassign()

Here is another tiny patch to pp_aassign: it preallocates the
array. Memory saving is not very big for the above script (5%), but the
speed advantage may be bigger.

Here is the new data, note the absense of "tails" of growing arrays.
Memory allocation statistics after compilation: (buckets 8..524288)
13080 free: 13 109 39 2 13 2 3 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Total sbrk(): 4960256. Odd ends: sbrk(): 0, malloc(): 1408 bytes.
Memory allocation statistics after execution: (buckets 8..1048576)
11704 free: 13 109 38 1 13 1 3 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
9796616 used: 211 251 520 185 35 7 5 6439 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 4 1
Total sbrk(): 9830400. Odd ends: sbrk(): 0, malloc(): 1408 bytes.

No, all this is wrong. It is 20bytes/elt, and we have stack,
mortals-stack, 1..100000, @a and @b.
Everything is OK now, including <=>.

Forbid ++ and -- on readonly values
Subject: You can ++ and -- readonly integer scalars? (patch included)
I managed to find an illustration of the bug in a perl one-liner:
perl -e '*a = \100; $a++; print "$a\n"'
101
Perhaps that's been fixed in one of the beta releases which I'm not
running; or perhaps I'm the only one who finds that slightly incorrect.
If so, ignore the rest of this message.
You can modify readonly scalars using any of the pre/post
increment/decrement operators. Apparently, the only readonly checking is
done for cases like '100++'.
I managed to find the relevant code and add some SvREADONLY checks. It
now dies on the inc/dec of readonly scalars with the appropriate nasty
message. I just thought I'd share my patch.

Full documentation generation patch
I propose the following patch for perl5.004. It automates the
generation of the documentation and is derived from the pioneer work
of Tom Christiansen, which was sub-documented, unfortunately.
It allows one to run 'roffitall' to generate the full manual and
table of contents, based on existing installed files only.
Next step: automate the maintainance of the roffitall file list, or
generate it automatically... Well, the current version should be OK
for 5.004.
