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.

846=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
847
848The following environment variables influence the behaviour of Faster:
849
850=over 4
851
852=item FASTER_VERBOSE
853
854Faster will output more informational messages when set to values higher
855than C<0>. Currently, C<1> outputs which packages are being compiled, C<3>
856outputs the cache directory and C<10> outputs information on which perl
857function is compiled into which shared object.
858
859=item FASTER_DEBUG
860
861Add debugging code when set to values higher than C<0>. Currently, this
862adds 1-3 C<assert>'s per perl op (FASTER_DEBUG > 1), to ensure that opcode
863order and C execution order are compatible.
864
865=item FASTER_CACHE
866
867Set a persistent cache directory that caches compiled code fragments. The
868default is C<$HOME/.perl-faster-cache> if C<HOME> is set and a temporary
869directory otherwise.
870
871This directory will always grow in size, so you might need to erase it
872from time to time.
873
874=back
875
213=head1 LIMITATIONS 876=head1 BUGS/LIMITATIONS
214 877
215Tainting and debugging will disable Faster. 878Perl will check much less often for asynchronous signals in
879Faster-compiled code. It tries to check on every function call, loop
880iteration and every I/O operator, though.
881
882The following things will disable Faster. If you manage to enable them at
883runtime, bad things will happen. Enabling them at startup will be fine,
884though.
885
886 enabled tainting
887 enabled debugging
888
889Thread-enabled builds of perl will dramatically reduce Faster's
890performance, but you don't care about speed if you enable threads anyway.
891
892These constructs will force the use of the interpreter for the currently
893executed 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)
