Is that been checked ? And the two implementations tested ? What are the
results, in time ?
Tested from the top-level on a text file with 11mln lines:
variants:
8.081 8.021 8.072 8.052 8.011 => avg=8.0474
exceptions:
7.801 7.902 7.822 7.901 7.832 => avg=7.8512
-----------------------------
total: exceptions are 2.44% faster
I'm having troubles with ocamlopt (windows machine), can anyone do a
similar test with it? Here's the code used (it's the pre-combinator
version of line counter):
exceptions (lcex.ml):
exception Done of int;;
let line_count filename =
let file = open_in filename in
let rec loop count =
let _ =
try
input_line file
with End_of_file -> raise (Done count)
in
loop (count + 1)
in
try loop 0 with Done x -> x
;;
let start_time = Sys.time() in
let count = line_count "c:/kirill/ocaml/test3.txt" in
let diff = Sys.time() -. start_time in
Printf.printf "count: %d, time: %f" count diff;;
variants(lcvar.ml):
let readline f =
try Some (input_line f)
with End_of_file -> None;;
let line_count filename =
let f = open_in filename in
let rec loop count =
match (readline f) with
| Some(_) -> loop (count+1)
| None -> count in
loop 0;;
let start_time = Sys.time() in
let count = line_count "c:/kirill/ocaml/test3.txt" in
let diff = Sys.time() -. start_time in
Printf.printf "count: %d, time: %f" count diff;;
