[htdig-dev] Re: Efficiency Improvement for String.cc

[Neal R. <ne...@ri...>]

Hmm.  I've been using a nice stable 2.95.3 gcc (it's our production
compiler at the moment).

Interesting.  I'll have to test it on 3.1 ..I'd like to see what it does
with the wordkey WordDB inline functions.

FYI:

objdump --disassemble -S ./exe > exe.S

Will give you assembly with C source code lines interleaved (make sure to
use -g on compile)

  Yep.. it's about time to start getting the WordDB more efficient.

  I'll post a few more patches (of small isolated changes) this week that
are well tested and we can decide whether to include them in 3.2.0b5.

  I've also got changes available to make it compile native win32..

Thanks.
