then the subroutine probably has almost no code in it at all, and the solution is to inline the tiny amount of code in the subroutine and remove the calling overhead entirely.

Sure, you could do that, but are you really going to allow all the callers of your objects to access their attributes directly rather than going through getters?

Little bits add up! Here a 25% penalty just to satisfy two pointless P::C rules:

#! perl -slw use strict; use Benchmark qw[ cmpthese ]; our $o = bless { X=>1 }, 'main'; sub getX1{ my $self = shift; return $self->{X}; } sub getX2{ return $_[0]->{X}; } sub getX3{ $_[0]->{X}; } cmpthese -1, { A=> q[ my $x = $o->getX1(); ], B=> q[ my $x = $o->getX2(); ], C=> q[ my $x = $o->getX3(); ], }; __END__ C:\test>junk19 Rate A B C A 1441709/s -- -11% -20% B 1611352/s 12% -- -10% C 1797147/s 25% 12% --

And that is just one level deep. Imagine (or test) the affect of calling a method that itself needs to call 2 or 3 getter() from one of its sub objects.

The penalties, for what are purely cosmetic affectations, add up.

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.
