Editing mawk wish list

[[mawk_wish_list]]\\ mawk 1.3.4 from Thomas Dickey http://invisible-island.net/mawk/\\ his mawk is even faster than mawk 1.3.3\\ on some things like array references it is 3X ~~ 10X faster than awk or gawk\\ \\see file http://invisible-island.net/mawk/CHANGES for list of changes since 1.3.3\\ eg he has added POSIX character classes;\\ WHINY_USERS sorted-array feature;\\ nextfile; "/dev/stdin" name for stdin\\ My wish list for mawk: {{{ 1) a mawk64.exe for windows 7 - 64 bit. 2) the -W source switch as in gawk 3) system() is broke in mawk.exe / windows 7 - 64 bit (although pipes work fine ??) eg system("anything") throws up a windows dialog that mawk is not responding .... 4) 2**3 for 2^3 (use ** or **= in place of ^ for exponention) }}} ---- see:\\ http://brenocon.com/blog/2009/09/dont-mawk-awk-the-fastest-and-most-elegant-big-data-munging-language/\\ for interesting discussion of mawk performance.\\ \\from irc://freenode.net/#awk {{{ mawk.exe 1.3.4 %mawk% -v n=2e6 "BEGIN { while(n--) A[rand()]=rand(); for(i in A) j++; print j;}" took 9.2 seconds whereas gawk.exe 4.0.1 took 26.2 seconds }}} ---- 2012-08-25 01:28:51 [[g0ph3r]]
