TAPx::Parser 0.40 is now on its way to the CPAN.
0.40 05 December 2006
- Removed TAPx::Parser::Streamed and folded its functionality
into TAPx::Parser.
- Fixed by where sometimes is_good_plan would return a false
positive (exposed by refactoring).
- A number of tiny performance enhancements.
Getting rid of TAPx::Parser::Streamed was the big win here. It cleaned
up the constructor considerably and made the _initialize method much
easier to understand.
Profiling was tough. Times were:
New: 7 wallclock secs ( 4.13 cusr + 1.02 csys = 5.15 CPU)
Old: 8 wallclock secs ( 4.31 cusr + 1.06 csys = 5.37 CPU)
Those are typical times for each run and obviously it's not a huge win,
but it's a start. There are a couple of other areas I can gain some
wins, but I'll not worry about them for right now. The wins I have
gained have no hurt maintainability. However, tests fail on Windows
because of a kill() portability issue, as reported in
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21624.
The only Windows box I have regular access to is at work, but obviously
I don't have the time to track this down there. Can anyone look into
this for me and make recommendations? I'd be happy to offer any advice
I can.
Cheers,
Ovid
