NAME¶
Algorithm::Diff::XS - Algorithm::Diff with XS core loop
SYNOPSIS¶
# Drop-in replacement to Algorithm::Diff, but "compact_diff" # and C<LCSidx> will run much faster for large data sets. use Algorithm::Diff::XS qw( compact_diff LCSidx );
DESCRIPTION¶
This module is a simple re-packaging of Joe Schaefer's excellent but not very well-known Algorithm::LCS with a drop-in interface that simply re-uses the installed version of the Algorithm::Diff module.
Note that only the "LCSidx" function is optimized in XS at the moment, which means only "compact_diff" will get significantly faster for large data sets, while "diff" and "sdiff" will run in identical speed as "Algorithm::Diff".

The benchmarking script is as below:
my @data = ([qw/a b d/ x 50], [qw/b a d c/ x 50]); cmpthese( 500, { 'Algorithm::Diff' => sub { Algorithm::Diff::compact_diff(@data) }, 'Algorithm::Diff::XS' => sub { Algorithm::Diff::XS::compact_diff(@data) }, });
