Since _09 is going to be alpha anyway, I reiterate my question: Is there any reason to not include my hash/array performance patches in _09? Btw, here is the next performance patch. It makes PADTMP values stealable too. I do not do by setting TEMP flags on them, since it would be a very distributed patch, and it would break some places which check for TEMP for some other reasons (yes, I checked ;-). This patch decreases *twice* the memory usage of perl -e '$a = "a" x 1e6; 1' Enjoy, p5p-msgid: <199611260308.WAA02677@monk.mps.ohio-state.edu> Subject: Hash key sharing improvements from Ilya.

Nearly all of the changes are VMS-specific, and comprise miscellaneous bugfixes accumulated since 5.003_07, rather than any particular problem with 5.003_08. I'm posting them here since some of the patches change core files, and I'd like to insure that I haven't accidentally created problems for anyone else. With these and a couple of of the small patches already send to p5p, 5.003_08 builds clean and passes all tests under VMS.

* perl 3.0: (no announcement message available)perl-3.000Larry Wall1989-10-181-9/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A few of the new features: (18 Oct) * Perl can now handle binary data correctly and has functions to pack and unpack binary structures into arrays or lists. You can now do arbitrary ioctl functions. * You can now pass things to subroutines by reference. * Debugger enhancements. * An array or associative array may now appear in a local() list. * Array values may now be interpolated into strings. * Subroutine names are now distinguished by prefixing with &. You can call subroutines without using do, and without passing any argument list at all. * You can use the new -u switch to cause perl to dump core so that you can run undump and produce a binary executable image. Alternately you can use the "dump" operator after initializing any variables and such. * You can now chop lists. * Perl now uses /bin/csh to do filename globbing, if available. This means that filenames with spaces or other strangenesses work right. * New functions: mkdir and rmdir, getppid, getpgrp and setpgrp, getpriority and setpriority, chroot, ioctl and fcntl, flock, readlink, lstat, rindex, pack and unpack, read, warn, dbmopen and dbmclose, dump, reverse, defined, undef.
* perl 2.0 (no announcement message available)perl-2.0Larry Wall1988-06-051-0/+39
Some of the enhancements from Perl1 included: * New regexp routines derived from Henry Spencer's. o Support for /(foo|bar)/. o Support for /(foo)*/ and /(foo)+/. o \s for whitespace, \S for non-, \d for digit, \D nondigit * Local variables in blocks, subroutines and evals. * Recursive subroutine calls are now supported. * Array values may now be interpolated into lists: unlink 'foo', 'bar', @trashcan, 'tmp'; * File globbing. * Use of <> in array contexts returns the whole file or glob list. * New iterator for normal arrays, foreach, that allows both read and write. * Ability to open pipe to a forked off script for secure pipes in setuid scripts. * File inclusion via do 'foo.pl'; * More file tests, including -t to see if, for instance, stdin is a terminal. File tests now behave in a more correct manner. You can do file tests on filehandles as well as filenames. The special filetests -T and -B test a file to see if it's text or binary. * An eof can now be used on each file of the <> input for such purposes as resetting the line numbers or appending to each file of an inplace edit. * Assignments can now function as lvalues, so you can say things like ($HOST = $host) =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/; ($obj = $src) =~ s/\.c$/.o/; * You can now do certain file operations with a variable which holds the name of a filehandle, e.g. open(++$incl,$includefilename); $foo = <$incl>; * Warnings are now available (with -w) on use of uninitialized variables and on identifiers that are mentioned only once, and on reference to various undefined things. * There is now a wait operator. * There is now a sort operator. * The manual is now not lying when it says that perl is generally faster than sed. I hope.
