- Change 6136c704 changed S_scan_ident from:
-
- e = d + destlen - 3;
-
- to:
-
- register char * const e = d + destlen + 3;
-
- where e is used to mark the end of the buffer, this meant that the

- mktables performance improvement
-
- The attached patch got the easiest performance improvements to mktables.
- Hopefully this is good enough for now.
-
- This involved:
-
- 1) Nicholas' patch
- 2) I stored complete_name instead of recomputing it each time.
- 3) Used $_[xxx] instead of shift in very heavily used subroutines
- 4) removed trace accidentally left in.
-
- I also changed the misspelled subroutine name discovered by Craig Berry.
- I searched for any other misspellings and didn't find any.
-
- Also removed trailing white space that keeps creeping back in, and now
- this doesn't generate pod entries if not outputting a pod file, and
- clarified warning message if no mktables.lst is present.
-
- I couldn't figure out a way to conditionally use 'no overloading', as
- it is called at compile time. So I just commented out the old stuff
- that will work for 5.8, with a note about using that if you want to
- use 5.8
