This patch results in a 20%-40% speedup in the > 1 argument cases of
the following microbenchmarks:
(define A (make-shared-array #0(1) (const '()) #e1e7))
; 1, 2, 3 arguments.
(define a 0) ,time (array-for-each (lambda (b) (set! a (+ a b))) A)
(define a 0) ,time (array-for-each (lambda (b c) (set! a (+ a b c))) A A)
(define a 0) ,time (array-for-each (lambda (b c d) (set! a (+ a b c d))) A A A)
(define A (make-shared-array (make-array 1) (const '()) #e1e7))
(define B (make-shared-array #0(1) (const '()) #e1e7))
; 1, 2, 3 arguments.
,time (array-map! A + B)
,time (array-map! A + B B)
,time (array-map! A + B B B)
* libguile/array-map.c (scm_ramap): Note on cproc arguments.
(rafill): Assume that dst's lbnd is 0.
(racp): Assume that src's lbnd is 0.
(ramap): Assume that ra0's lbnd is 0. When there're more than two
arguments, compute the array handles before the loop. Allocate the arg
list once and reuse it in the loop.
(rafe): Do as in ramap(), when there's more than one argument.
(AREF, ASET): Remove.
* libguile/array-map.c (array_compare, scm_array_equal_p): Rewrite as
something that operates on the generic array handle infrastructure.
Based on array->list.
(scm_i_array_equal_p): Change the docs, as array-equal? is now the same
as equal?, except that it typechecks its args.
* doc/ref/api-compound.texi (Array Procedures): Update array-equal?
docs.
* libguile/deprecated.h:
* libguile/deprecated.c (scm_raequal): Deprecate.
* libguile/bytevectors.c (scm_bytevector_eq_p): Bugfix: bytevectors are
bytevector=? only if their element type is the same.
* libguile/eq.c (scm_equal_p): Only dispatch to scm_array_equal_p if
both args are arrays (generically).
* test-suite/tests/arrays.test ("equal?"): Add some more tests.
