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

846 | =head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES |
|
|
847 | |
|
|
848 | The following environment variables influence the behaviour of Faster: |
|
|
849 | |
|
|
850 | =over 4 |
|
|
851 | |
|
|
852 | =item FASTER_VERBOSE |
|
|
853 | |
|
|
854 | Faster will output more informational messages when set to values higher |
|
|
855 | than C<0>. Currently, C<1> outputs which packages are being compiled, C<3> |
|
|
856 | outputs the cache directory and C<10> outputs information on which perl |
|
|
857 | function is compiled into which shared object. |
|
|
858 | |
|
|
859 | =item FASTER_DEBUG |
|
|
860 | |
|
|
861 | Add debugging code when set to values higher than C<0>. Currently, this |
|
|
862 | adds 1-3 C<assert>'s per perl op (FASTER_DEBUG > 1), to ensure that opcode |
|
|
863 | order and C execution order are compatible. |
|
|
864 | |
|
|
865 | =item FASTER_CACHE |
|
|
866 | |
|
|
867 | Set a persistent cache directory that caches compiled code fragments. The |
|
|
868 | default is C<$HOME/.perl-faster-cache> if C<HOME> is set and a temporary |
|
|
869 | directory otherwise. |
|
|
870 | |
|
|
871 | This directory will always grow in size, so you might need to erase it |
|
|
872 | from time to time. |

875 | |
487 | =head1 LIMITATIONS |
876 | =head1 BUGS/LIMITATIONS |
488 | |
877 | |
489 | Tainting and debugging will disable Faster. |
878 | Perl will check much less often for asynchronous signals in |
|
|
879 | Faster-compiled code. It tries to check on every function call, loop |
|
|
880 | iteration and every I/O operator, though. |
|
|
881 | |
|
|
882 | The following things will disable Faster. If you manage to enable them at |
|
|
883 | runtime, bad things will happen. Enabling them at startup will be fine, |
|
|
884 | though. |
|
|
885 | |
|
|
886 | enabled tainting |
|
|
887 | enabled debugging |
|
|
888 | |
|
|
889 | Thread-enabled builds of perl will dramatically reduce Faster's |
|
|
890 | performance, but you don't care about speed if you enable threads anyway. |
|
|
891 | |
|
|
892 | These constructs will force the use of the interpreter for the currently |
|
|
893 | executed function as soon as they are being encountered during execution. |
|
|
894 | |
|
|
895 | goto |
|
|
896 | next, redo (but not well-behaved last's) |
|
|
897 | labels, if used |
|
|
898 | eval |
|
|
899 | require |
|
|
900 | any use of formats |
|
|
901 | .., ... (flipflop operators) |
