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
32Usage is very easy, just C<use Faster> and every function called from then
33on will be compiled.
34
35Right now, Faster can leave lots of F<*.c> and F<*.so> files in your
36F<$FASTER_CACHEDIR> (by default F<$HOME/.perl-faster-cache>), and it will
37even create those temporary files in an insecure manner, so watch out.

814
815The following environment variables influence the behaviour of Faster:
816
817=over 4
818
819=item FASTER_VERBOSE
820
821Faster will output more informational messages when set to values higher
822than C<0>. Currently, C<1> outputs which packages are being compiled, C<3>
823outputs the cache directory and C<10> outputs information on which perl
824function is compiled into which shared object.
825
826=item FASTER_DEBUG
827
828Add debugging code when set to values higher than C<0>. Currently, this
829adds 1-3 C<assert>'s per perl op (FASTER_DEBUG > 1), to ensure that opcode
830order and C execution order are compatible.
831
832=item FASTER_CACHE
833
834Set a persistent cache directory that caches compiled code fragments. The
835default is C<$HOME/.perl-faster-cache> if C<HOME> is set and a temporary
836directory otherwise.
837
838This directory will always grow in size, so you might need to erase it
839from time to time.
840
841=back
842
158=head1 LIMITATIONS 843=head1 BUGS/LIMITATIONS
159 844
160Tainting and debugging will disable Faster. 845Perl will check much less often for asynchronous signals in
846Faster-compiled code. It tries to check on every function call, loop
847iteration and every I/O operator, though.
848
849The following things will disable Faster. If you manage to enable them at
850runtime, bad things will happen. Enabling them at startup will be fine,
851though.
852
853 enabled tainting
854 enabled debugging
855
856Thread-enabled builds of perl will dramatically reduce Faster's
857performance, but you don't care about speed if you enable threads anyway.
858
859These constructs will force the use of the interpreter for the currently
860executed function as soon as they are being encountered during execution.
861
862 goto
863 next, redo (but not well-behaved last's)
864 eval
865 require
866 any use of formats
867 .., ... (flipflop operators)
