Hm....
I'm sure we can tune this a good deal. For example the list-ref's in
parse-ctags-line look a bit crude. Heavy compiler-optimizations
won't give anything here, since mnost of the work is done in the
libraries.
Would you please give abit more explanations. I'm a scheme newbie
absolutely clueless wrt the chicken implementation.
Well, the script uses mostly library procedures, which do the heavy work
(calling sqlite, performing regexp-matching, accessing hash-tables),
so the code in the script itself doesn't do that much work. For that
reason it gives not much improvement, when compiled, even with
-benchmark-mode.
It turns out that chicken's `read-line' is pretty slow. I have added
a fast path to it, that invokes fgets() for normal file ports (which also
applies to ports created with `with-input-from-pipe'). This resulted
in a massive speedup of a simple test-program that reads a 70k line
file. Unfortunately, it does nearly nothing for you ctags processor
(and I don't know exactly why - I'll dig further into this...)
Note that Perl is heavily tuned for these kinds of jobs... ;-)
I know but it's a write-only language.
Absolutely!
cheers,
