Re: Efficiency of the Builder

[Arsène von Wyss]

Yes, LALR state analysis seems to take much longer than on the older versions (especially V4) for the same grammar file, noticed that too.

For a LALR(1)-grammar bison needed less than 0.5 seconds real time, less than 5 MB main memory and about 25% of the maximal CPU time.

The grammar was output through the generator for yacc of the Builder and processed with an awk script to define the tokens.

The builder needed more than 22 Minutes real time, more than 1.2 GB main memory and close to 98% of the maximal CPU-time.

That are factors of about 10.000 for CPU time, 2,500 for real time and 250 for main memory.

About 1600 states were generated and the builder checked about 50,000 configurations.

Conclusion: I need a reliable box or the Builder needs a better algorithm.
