Re: [PATCH] Move the heavy lifting from cl-seq.el to C.

Ar an t-aonú lá is triochad de mí na Nollaig, scríobh Stephen J. Turnbull: Nope, not yet; as I said, though, I don’t get warnings about statements interleaving with declarations, which has been the main issue with the Windows builds recently. Remember that the code we inherit from GNU never uses the CL functions, and that they’ve not been in C in XEmacs up to now, so the XEmacs-specific code doesn’t use them much either, there’s not much opportunity for a speedup. I *think* I saw a speedup with one specific change to the #'member* compiler macro that meant most of the time the member bytecode was used in #'add-to-list, but that’s gone in already. With a few very rough-and-ready benchmarks, I see a twenty-fold speedup in #'delete-duplicates and #'remove-duplicates. The other functions won’t be as dramatic. -- “Apart from the nine-banded armadillo, man is the only natural host of Mycobacterium leprae, although it can be grown in the footpads of mice.” -- Kumar & Clark, Clinical Medicine, summarising improbable leprosy research _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Patches mailing list XEmacs-Patches(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-patches
