Locale Improvements |
initial writing: 2001-01-02 |
Locales (symbol tables) have been improved in the following ways:
| • | A locale can now contain an effectively unlimited number of names |
| • | Locales now use space more efficiently (the more so for nearly empty locales) |
| • | 18!:3 is extended to specify the size of the hash table for a new or empty locale |
| • | 18!:3 is extended to create named locales (previously it only created numbered locales) |
| • | 9!:38
and 9!:39 query/specify the default size of the hash table for a locale |
On starting J, after loading the profile, 7!:0 (space currently
in use) reads as follows:
1052736 J 4.05
488064 J 4.06
Of this improvement, 300K are from locale improvements;
the other 250K are from the
reduction in space consumption
for explicit definitions.
