I am pretty sure the o.p. really does want and need to build his own perl-5.8. Best Regards, Soren A -- http://fastmail.fm - One of many happy users: http://www.fastmail.fm/docs/quotes.html |

Hi, from a post in perl porters with added gcc 3.2 information (see below) looks like gcc32 gives slightly bigger files and memory consumption than = 2.95 does this directly relates to the speed of the software ? and with level of optimization higher (3 instead of 2) the file is = bigger too. nevertheless does an O3 optimizations will give faster execution ? thanks pascal ************************************************************* Here are the results of my Perl 5.8.0 compilates, compiled with GCC 2.95.2: (1) (2) (3) (2*) (3*) =20 --------------------------------------------------------------- -O1 955 392 2060 -O2 952 832 2064 1009KB 2104=20 -O3 1 031 192 2092 1102KB 2136 =20 -O4 1 031 168 2088 1102KB 2136 (1)...optimization level (2)...file size of perl58.dll [B] (3)...memory consumption [KB] (measured while 'perl -e "sleep 20"') * gcc32 with (line 426 of makefile.mk) LINK_DBG=3D -s=20 rkobes build (2) (3) perl 580 732KB 1972 perl 561 build 633 648KB 1404 Therefore, '-O2' still gives the best results. However, Perl 5.8 generally has a higher memory consumption than Perl 5.6.1, unfortunately. best, rob. |
