| 3 | 04:59:03 <kentnl> schmorp: you may want to change the description on Convert-UUlib, because your bundled copy |
3 | TODO: biggest timesinks: FP_fgets/getc_unlocked overall, UUInsertPartToList dominates large loads due to O(n**2) search |
| 4 | is now better maintained and has fewer security risks than upstreams :p |
|
|
| 5 | 04:59:49 <kentnl> to the point I've been humoring the idea of cribbing its code and shipping it as a |
|
|
| 6 | replacement for other things currently using the original uulib |
|
|
| 7 | 06:51:00 <schmorp> kentnl: well, hmm, but change it to what, it still is an interface to "a" uulib library at |
|
|
| 8 | least |
|
|
| 9 | 06:52:26 <kentnl> Maybe "Convert to/from uuencoded data in C" or something like that. |

|
5 | - no bugfixes in this release due to lack of known bugs, but the major changes |
|
|
6 | in this release might have introduced new bugs, so watch out. |
|
|
7 | - update large decoder example to disable OPT_AUTOCHK dn use Smerge -1. |
|
|
8 | - some micro-optimisations. |
|
|
9 | - avoid costly string comparisons by comparing hashes when isnerting items, |
|
|
10 | which speeds up insertion by a constant factor. |
|
|
11 | - improve uulist (and other) structure layout and size. |
|
|
12 | - reverse the order of file list items, which heuristically improves |
|
|
13 | match speed with large usenet file lists. |
|
|
14 | - use getc instead of fgetc, which makes no difference on gnu/linux. |
|
|
15 | - clean up _FP symbol names toi not start with an underscore. |
|
|
16 | - use feof_unlocked and ferror_unlocked. |
|
|
17 | - implement a faster ascii-only strnicmp. |
| 12 | - very minor code improvements. |
18 | - misc very minor code improvements. |
|
|
19 | - remove quite a bit of pre-posix/dos/etc. cruft. |
|
|
20 | - use flockfile, if available, for a potential but small |
|
|
21 | speed gain. |
|
|
22 | - speed up inner yenc decoder loop. |
|
|
23 | - kentnl said that this module should no longer claim to be a simple |
|
|
24 | interface to uulib, as the bunndled copy is now better maintained |
|
|
25 | than the original upstream library. |
