Hi, I'm using the filter out function on some very big strings and found out that the filter-out is much slower than comm (shell command). Would it be hard to change the filter-out function so that it accepts already sorted inputs? That would make the algorithm much faster, as it looks like O(n^n) right now.
For users, that means that instead of $(filter-out $(str1), $(str2)) it woudl become $(filter-out ($sort $(str1)), ($sort $(str2))) Daniel Shane _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
