We have a check per fetch and something like two or three per store, depending on exactly how it is used. We also have things like "clear_placeholders" which are called at various points (I dont remember exactly when). The point is the conceptual complexity involved, and how it would impact our ability to switch to better implementations for our associative arrays. You can get an idea by doing a case insensitive search for "placeholder", which will over match, but will expose a lot of the code related to locked hashes. (152 lines of match, without any related context.) yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"Thread Previous | Thread Next
