Hello, I have addressed almost all the code issues from the last patch. That broke some things, which I had to fix, but they're fixed. A couple other improvements too. Here's the state of things:
* I have the below failed tests. I haven't looked into these. Can someone tell me if the tests are broken, or is my allocator broken. I know they don't fail for the current cvs code (as of yesterday). Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- t/library/dumper.t 13 3328 13 13 100.00% 1-13 t/op/gc.t 1 256 18 1 5.56% 13 t/pmc/sub.t 1 256 78 1 1.28% 78 4 tests and 59 subtests skipped. Failed 3/124 test scripts, 97.58% okay. 15/1975 subtests failed, 99.24% okay. * Still have a memory leak that blocks Dan's evil code from compiling. * Run time isn't so great, with 10x gcc -O2, for 200 symbols, and 100x for 500 syms. Below, is for 1000 syms. Still, this is much better than the previous allocator, which crashed my workstation around 130 symbols. #vars gcc parrot 198 6.84 66.88 199 7.29 82.03 200 9.86 109.86 500 0.74 125.39 501 0.68 99.53 999 1.68 755.30 1000 2.06 988.55 1001 1.79 723.25 * Considerable improvements are on the way. Some are fairly low hanging fruit, but my biggest worry is not to break things along the way, which is all too easy to do. ~Bill
