I should note, though, that we can also make probably faster progress by simply reducing the dependency on the counting of lines. In particular, I'd like to change Hunk to store a new and old PackedString + line number counts, rather than storing new and old [PackedString]. We'd still need to find the nth newline, etc, but we'd use much less memory and probably be faster to boot. Even better when we introduce (maybe before darcs 2 is released?) a new hunk file format that doesn't have all those +'s and -'s. Then parsing is lightning fast and we won't need duplicate copies of the hunk data in memory. -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list darcs-devel@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
