From chardin at valueclick.com Mon Nov 7 11:18:04 2011 From: chardin at valueclick.com (Chuck Hardin) Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 11:18:04 -0800 Subject: [Thousand-Oaks-pm] Reminder: Meeting on Wednesday, November 9 at 7 PM Message-ID: <4EB82EEC.3020705@valueclick.com> You won't want to miss the next meeting of the Thousand Oaks Perl Mongers on Wednesday, November 9 at 7 PM. Dave Oswald will show you how to use Inline::C as a less painful alternative to the XS interface. Also, Randal L. Schwartz (yeah, that one) will tell you how to use Test::More's new subtest and done_testing() framework to make your test-driven development more elegant and less dependent on counting tests. Details are at http://thousand-oaks.pm.org/ -- and there's plenty of free parking! -- Chuck Hardin Software Engineer, ValueClick Media +1-818-575-4573 chardin at valueclick.com This email and any files included with it may contain privileged, proprietary and/or confidential information that is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).

There are four files: inline_c_slides.odp -- The slideshow in Libre OpenOffice Impress format (Power Point can open it too). primes_benchmark.txt -- A full dump of the output of the tests and benchmark discussed in the presentation (or presented in the discussion. ;) primes.cpp -- The C++ "external" primes generator. primesbench.pl -- The full source for the benchmarks. There are actually eleven prime generator subs; various takes on the same algorithm mostly. All the ones not included in our discussion are commented out of the final benchmark list. The source should be sufficiently documented. I would be happy to hear feedback on any aspect of the presentation; the slides, the code, etc. Who knows; maybe I'll give it again somewhere (maybe the LA.pm folks would be interested, for example.), so if there's something that could have been done better naturally I'd like to know. Oh, I did squash that dangling pointer bug. I will plead guilty to suffering from the cognitive load of shifting between two languages; one that has lexical scoping and reference counting, and one that...doesn't. Lesson learned: Run even the most trivial examples through a few formal tests. Thanks again for letting me present. I enjoyed it, and may look for some other topic to dive into for a future meeting. And thanks for making me feel at home in such a short time at TO-pm.
