on the other hand, there are places and times where a little assembly can go a very, very long way. i seem to recall (although i'm probably misremembering this) that if you need to copy more than a page worth of data on a pentium, directly using assembly is ridiculously faster than, say, memcpy in C, because there's a special-purpose assembly instruction to do just that.
Google "fast memory copy" for some of these. I think compilers can do these nowadays though. -- Seo Sanghyeon _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
