I'll send out proper patches later this weekend, but unless I make big mistakes it seems wildmatch is faster than fnmatch from glibc 2.14.1 on x86-64 :) Maybe I did make mistakes. The test matches every line in /tmp/filelist.txt (which is ls-files from linux-2.6.git) 2000 times. "pathname" means FNM_PATHNAME. $ export LANG=C $ ./test-wildmatch-perf /tmp/filelist.txt 'Documentation/*' 2000 wildmatch 1s 528394us fnmatch 2s 588396us $ ./test-wildmatch-perf /tmp/filelist.txt 'drivers/*' 2000 wildmatch 1s 957243us fnmatch 3s 134839us $ ./test-wildmatch-perf /tmp/filelist.txt 'Documentation/*' 2000 pathname wildmatch 1s 548575us fnmatch 2s 629680us $ ./test-wildmatch-perf /tmp/filelist.txt 'drivers/*' 2000 pathname wildmatch 2s 142377us fnmatch 3s 318295us $ ./test-wildmatch-perf /tmp/filelist.txt '[Dd]ocu[Mn]entation/*' 2000 wildmatch 1s 748505us fnmatch 3s 224414us $ ./test-wildmatch-perf /tmp/filelist.txt '[Dd]o?u[Mn]en?ati?n/*' 2000 wildmatch 1s 743268us fnmatch 3s 278034us $ ./test-wildmatch-perf /tmp/filelist.txt '[Dd]o?u[Mn]en?ati?n/*' 2000 pathname wildmatch 1s 745151us fnmatch 3s 314127us $ ./test-wildmatch-perf /tmp/filelist.txt nonsense 2000 pathname wildmatch 1s 310727us fnmatch 2s 279123us -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
