Hello!
The "numbers" egg (1.5) now supports what is (I believe) called "speculative inlining" (expanding fixnum-tests in-line). If you have the newest development version of chicken (2.621), and compile a program that uses the numbers eggs with "-X numbers", you should get in some cases quote significant performance improvements at the cost of larger code. Should there be bugs, or if the code generated is too big, compiler macros (which implement this feature) can be disabled via the "-disable-compiler-macros" option to chicken/csc. I'd be very interested about feedback and performance measurements. cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
