9=head1 DESCRIPTION 11=head1 DESCRIPTION
10 12
13This module implements a very simple-minded "JIT" (or actually AIT, ahead
14of time compiler). It works by more or less translating every function it
15sees into a C program, compiling it and then replacing the function by the
16compiled code.
17
18As a result, startup times are immense, as every function might lead to a
19full-blown compilation.
20
21The speed improvements are also not great, you can expect 20% or so on
22average, for code that runs very often. The reason for this is that data
23handling is mostly being done by the same old code, it just gets called
24a bit faster. Regexes and string operations won't get faster. Airhtmetic
25doresn't become any faster. Just the operands and other stuff is put on
26the stack faster, and the opcodes themselves have a bit less overhead.
27
28Faster is in the early stages of development. Due to its design its
29relatively safe to use (it will either work or simply slowdown the program
30immensely, but rarely cause bugs).
31
32More intelligent algorithms (loop optimisation, type inference) could
33improve that easily, but requires a much more elaborate presentation and
34optimiser than what is in place. There are no plans to improve Faster in
35this way, yet, but it would provide a reasonably good place to start.
36
37Usage is very easy, just C<use Faster> and every function called from then
38on will be compiled.
39
40Right now, Faster can leave lots of F<*.c> and F<*.so> files in your
41F<$FASTER_CACHEDIR> (by default F<$HOME/.perl-faster-cache>), and it will
42even create those temporary files in an insecure manner, so watch out.

819
820The following environment variables influence the behaviour of Faster:
821
822=over 4
823
824=item FASTER_VERBOSE
825
826Faster will output more informational messages when set to values higher
827than C<0>. Currently, C<1> outputs which packages are being compiled, C<3>
828outputs the cache directory and C<10> outputs information on which perl
829function is compiled into which shared object.
830
831=item FASTER_DEBUG
832
833Add debugging code when set to values higher than C<0>. Currently, this
834adds 1-3 C<assert>'s per perl op (FASTER_DEBUG > 1), to ensure that opcode
835order and C execution order are compatible.
836
837=item FASTER_CACHE
838
839Set a persistent cache directory that caches compiled code fragments. The
840default is C<$HOME/.perl-faster-cache> if C<HOME> is set and a temporary
841directory otherwise.
842
843This directory will always grow in size, so you might need to erase it
844from time to time.
845
846=back
847
158=head1 LIMITATIONS 848=head1 BUGS/LIMITATIONS
159 849
160Tainting and debugging will disable Faster. 850Perl will check much less often for asynchronous signals in
851Faster-compiled code. It tries to check on every function call, loop
852iteration and every I/O operator, though.
853
854The following things will disable Faster. If you manage to enable them at
855runtime, bad things will happen. Enabling them at startup will be fine,
856though.
857
858 enabled tainting
859 enabled debugging
860
861Thread-enabled builds of perl will dramatically reduce Faster's
862performance, but you don't care about speed if you enable threads anyway.
863
864These constructs will force the use of the interpreter for the currently
865executed function as soon as they are being encountered during execution.
866
867 goto
868 next, redo (but not well-behaved last's)
869 eval
870 require
871 any use of formats
872 .., ... (flipflop operators)
