Changes for version 0.14 - 2002-08-25

  • More aggressive switch code: a: If the last character was used as the switch target, no need to check it again with memEQ (ie memcmp) b: If the first character is used as the switch target, no need to check it again with memEQ (this does need C code to move the pointer target, so last character is preferred) c: Three character strings are now done as 2 explicit character comparisons after the switch, rather than memEQ. It may be worth extending this to four character strings. Refactor the regression test code to allow multiple test extensions to be built. This way the various possibilities in the switch code can easily be tested. The "more aggressive" switch code shrinks bleadperl's extensions by a grand total of 648(ish) bytes. Amazing! (well, every little helps) Will now install into the core for perl 5.8.0 or later (as it's a core module from 5.7.2ish)
