Revision history for Perl extension ExtUtils::Constant.
[Yes, this is out of date. In the interests of getting a release out onto
CPAN sooner, I've deferred updating this. Since 0.16 all the development
0.13 Mon Aug 5 20:20:21 2002
Copy the module and test from bleadperl
Find and fix a bug when there is only 1 item of a given length, but
it has the "check utf8 flag" set. Regression test 52 now tests this.

More aggressive switch code:
a: If the last character was used as the switch target, no need to
check it again with memEQ (ie memcmp)
b: If the first character is used as the switch target, no need to
check it again with memEQ (this does need C code to move the
pointer target, so last character is preferred)
c: Three character strings are now done as 2 explicit character
comparisons after the switch, rather than memEQ. It may be worth
extending this to four character strings.
Refactor the regression test code to allow multiple test extensions
to be built. This way the various possibilities in the switch code can
easily be tested.
The "more aggressive" switch code shrinks bleadperl's extensions by a
grand total of 648(ish) bytes. Amazing! (well, every little helps)
Will now install into the core for perl 5.8.0 or later (as it's a core
module from 5.7.2ish)

Avoid problems in dogfood() if a zero length name accidentally gets in
Docpatch from Steve Peters
0.16 Sun Jan 23 13:33:33 GMT 2005
Refactoring to make parts of the code re-usable for other keyword
matching needs. Keep the XS specific functions in ExtUtils::Constant
Move the helper functions to ExtUtils::Constant::Utils
Turn the generic functions into methods in ExtUtils::Constant::Base,
with overrides in ExtUtils::Constant::XS for the existing use.
Move ExtUtils::Constant::Aaargh56Hash into its own file.
Add "weight" facility. Sorting keyword ordering with this gained
another 10% speedup on Perl_keyword. This makes me wonder if second
level switching would be a win.
Add two examples of subclassing in the examples/ directory.

Add option croak_on_error to PROXYSUBS, to directly croak() the error message.
This is only useful with the code that generates Proxy
Constant Subroutines, as this adds all known constants to the
symbol table at compile time, meaning that the only calls to
AUTOLOAD will be to load constants not available on this platform,
or for invalid constant names.
