( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I ran in to this too and talked with demerphq about it. It looks to me like when an alternation series gets too long, it uses BRANCHJ instead of BRANCH, because LONGJMP is needed to jump to the end of the series. And I think the trie optimization only kicks in for BRANCHes. This may be simple to fix or it may not. Any hardy souls out there want to dive in?

A simple testcase: compare

perl -we'use re "debug"; qr/@{[join"|","a000".."u999"]}/'
to
perl -we'use re "debug"; qr/@{[join"|","a000".."v999"]}/'
(on 5.8.x as well, to see the pre-optimization difference).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
