05:35:40 <crc> lp:~crc-x/retro-language/hashed-dictionary is the branch where I'm now experimenting with adding a hash field to the dictionary headers
05:39:56 <crc> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~crc-x/retro-language/hashed-dictionary/revision/424 contains code to generate hashes and add them to the dictionary (no conflicts in global dictionary)
06:44:49 <crc> possible strategy to deal with collisions: check hashes; if they match, then compare names to confirm
06:45:27 <tangentstorm> makes sense to me
06:45:36 <tangentstorm> it's still a huge time savings over checking each word
06:45:51 <tangentstorm> also...
06:45:55 <tangentstorm> well... hrm
06:46:22 <tangentstorm> I was going to say you could re-order the dictionary to put the most frequently used words first.
06:47:22 <tangentstorm> but the dictionary is laid down in a particular order based on dependencies. So you'd have to re-arrange the links after the fact to do it that way.
06:47:57 <tangentstorm> also you'd have to know which ones are used the most :)
06:48:29 <tangentstorm> nm. that's completely over-optimizing anyway.
08:03:26 <crc> http://rx-core.org/retroImage_withHashes and http://sprunge.us/DJeF for some code that modifies the search functionality to use the hashes. Still slow though :(
08:16:25 <crc> this also seems to break a few things with strings (probably due to the rotating buffer being used), so I need to investigate that further
08:18:14 <crc> in parable, I now have it loading a precompiled image/session, so startup is much faster now

13:25:19 <Mat2> hello
13:28:53 <Mat2> crc: I think, hashed disctionary access is slow because the interpretation overhead for hashing is huge (because of retro's string handling, use of slow multiplication and the dispatch overhead)
13:35:02 <Mat2> ^dictionary
13:37:27 <tangentstorm> hey Mat2 :)
13:40:53 <Mat2> hi tanentstorm 
13:43:01 <Mat2> just read a (for me) bizarre thread on comp.lang.forth about race stereotypes and gun legislation ?!???
13:44:37 <tangentstorm> ... that doesn't sound like it was very on topic :)
13:45:07 <Mat2> not really
14:05:50 <Mat2> I've found ace128 on the net (a unix clone for commodore 8 bit computers like the c128), nice :)
