Subject: Compilation speed of modules/functors
Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 12:03:48 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4309F764.9050409@mcmaster.ca> (raw)

Are there known issues with compilation speed of heavily functorized 
code?  My code used to use a lot of records, but that was not very 
extensible, so I switched to using modules and functors.  Now the 
compilation time has gone from << 1 second to 5-6 seconds (on my slow 
laptop).  While not the end of the world, this still surprised me.  Are 
there known issues in this area?  Known pitfalls and work-arounds?

The actual codes are in MetaOCaml, but I did some experiments in pure 
Ocaml and got the same results, so it is not due to MetaOCaml (sorry, 
these are no longer available).  The curious can look at
http://www.metaocaml.org/examples/gausselim/
for record-based code and
http://www.cas.mcmaster.ca/~carette/metamonads/
for functor-based code.

Jacques
