While most uses within Perl should not care about such +distinctions, this can be useful when serialising or encoding Perl data +structures for export to other languages or data formats where such a +distinction does matter. + +=head2 Support for not sharing all keys in large hash tables. + +This release includes support to build Perl so that it does not share all keys +in hash tables as has been historically the case since Perl v5.6. The shared +key behavior was added to Perl originally to support having many objects with +the same keys without having to store each key many times. For objects that +might be created hundreds or thousands of times this key sharing behavior can +result in using significantly less memory. However, key sharing comes at the +cost of having to maintain an internal "master hash table" (PL_str_tab), and +having to do two store operations per key stored in a hash table. It also can +result in surprising consequences with programs that fork, causing the master +hash table to be COWed (copy on write) into the memory space for each forked +process which can, in worst case, greatly increase the memory utilization of +such scripts. + +The new behavior is an attempt to have our cake and eat it too. Small hash +tables will continue to share keys, but once the hash table is used to store +more than a certain number of keys (currently 64) it will not share the new +keys that are added. This should benefit scripts that build large hash tables, +especially those that do so in forked sub-processes. The unshared mode is +triggered when the hash table is resized which is non-deterministic and depends +on the underlying hash function that perl has been built with and the seed used +by the current process so the exact circumstances when this new mode will be +enabled for a given hash will vary between different invocations of a script. + +We are uncertain of the exact effects of this new mode and are keen to get +field reports about the consequences of enabling it. We know that in many +cases not sharing keys speeds up scripts in general, and may result in a +reduction in memory consumption. Code that builds large hashes where the keys +are stored in only one hash, for instance where the keys are message digests, +will likely benefit from this change by being faster and using less memory. +However, there are also circumstances where not sharing keys can significantly +increase memory consumption, such as where large numbers of keys are stored in +multiple hash tables at once. We have data to suggest that not sharing keys +will reduce COW churn and overall memory consumption in scripts that fork and +construct large hash tables, however such scripts may also encounter a modest +speed penalty. Overall, the consequences of not sharing keys will vary +depending on workload. However, we believe that broadly speaking enabling this +feature will be beneficial for most of our users. We would like to get data +from the field to validate our assumptions. + +We are not enabling the new mode by default in this release as we want to +gather more data and obtain feedback from the field about how it affects +people's scripts, but our intention is to ship the next release of Perl, +version 5.38, with some form of this functionality enabled. We are hopeful +that people will try to build their perls with this feature and provide us +feedback on the results. This will help guide our next steps.
