Re: PilRC palette/bitmap troubles

int parameter not changing value
I am trying to parse a buffer that is read in from the serial port, and I
want to be
able to use this parsing function 3 times, to reduce my code size. I pass
in the index of the buffer, and it increments as I parse the buffer. Then I
call parse again
and it parses the buffer from where the first call left off. The parse
function also has a size parameter. The problem that I am having, is when I
call Parse() the second, or third time, the variable size inside the
parse() function remains 5, instead of being 31, and then 34.
Why is this?
//Defines
#define CODE_SIZE 5
#define NAME_SIZE 31
#define ADDRESS_SIZE 34
//in main
code = Parse(buffer, index, CODE_SIZE);
name = Parse(buffer, index, NAME_SIZE);
address = Parse(buffer, index, ADDRESS_SIZE);
setMainFields(code, name, address);
//my parsing function, parses a buffer that comes in through the serial port
char* Parse(char* buffer, UInt *buffIndex, UInt size)
{
CharPtr string;
char* tempBuffer;
char delimeter = '%';
Handle htempBuffer;
UInt16 tempIndex;
htempBuffer = MemHandleNew(size);
MemHandleResize(htext, size);
tempBuffer = MemHandleLock(htempBuffer);
string = MemHandleLock(htext);
tempIndex = 0;
//check to see if character is the delimeter
while(buffer[*buffIndex] != delimeter)
{
tempBuffer[tempIndex] = buffer[*buffIndex];
*buffIndex = *buffIndex + 1;
tempIndex++;
}
//add NULL character to end of buffer
tempBuffer[tempIndex-1] = chrNull;
StrCopy(string, tempBuffer);
*buffIndex = *buffIndex + 1;
MemHandleUnlock(htempBuffer);
return string;

Re: Looping optimization
floating point is always slow... and divide is always slow too.
multiplying is slower than adding and subtracting.
just search google for c optimization and you'll find a lot of useful hints.
(in your code for example you multiply 19 * 71 2 times when you only
need to to it once before the loop)

By the way, if the prog below is really intended to be used, just
replace the for loop with this line,
#define LOOPS 2UL
result = (LOOPS*(LOOPS+1UL) + (LOOPS+1UL) * 1412UL) / 87UL;
and your program will be much quicker ;-)

I don't know if I have done something wrong when I compile / link it or the code itself is not optimized. Major piece of advice: Become as familiar as you can with 68K assembly and the built in disassembler within Codewarrior - doins so will help you immensely in loop optimization. Also, POSE is great for functional testing, but is not an accurate guage for loop optimization. There are too many places where real 68K architecture has different delay characteristics than POSE. Use the real hardware if at all possible. Some general hints with regard to 68K architecture: In most if not all cases the use of 32 bit integers causes a performance penalty over the use of 8 or 16 bit integers, so use smaller integer types where possible. As others have said, multiplication and division have horrible performance penalties, so use them sparingly and optimize them out of the loop if possible. If you must use them, take a look at the disassembler output for the multiplication and division instructions. The 68K instruction set includes instructions for 16 bit x 16 bit multiplication and division, so make sure your particular instances fit with the 68K instruction set, otherwise the compiler will inline a software multiplication or division that is much slower. Again, as I said before, analyse the disassembler output. This will help you optimize the loop. -Robert -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
Re: TxtFindString oddity
The 2nd parameter to TxtFindString must be a prepared string. You need to run TxtGluePrepFindString on it before passing it to TxtFindString. Or if you are implementing the system find command, use the strToFind field. See the API doc for more info... Dave Matthias Jordan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, folks! I'm working on a device that has the International Feature Set present. Now, when I call TxtFindString, the result code is always 0 and pos and len contain arbitrary values. Even in the following cases: TxtFindString(foobar, foo, pos, len) TxtFindString(foobar, oba, pos, len) TxtFindString(foo, foo, pos, len) TxtFindString(oba, foobar, pos, len) This is quite strange because the behaviour of this function is advertised differently in the API documentation.

Optimize on the algorithmic scale before you start fiddling on
the statement level.
Current compilers can (and should) do all the things suggested
by the other people in their optimization phase, but no compiler
that I've used will get rid of the for-loop entirely, and that
solution is far, far faster than the for-loop will ever be.

Thanks! -Mike Peter Easton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Mike, Does BT on the Palm not have the buffer delay bug? No, the BT radio forwards packets to the Palm BT stack as soon as it receives them. The Palm can ACK packets in less than 1 ms, and respond to inbound packets in less than 2ms. In addition, Bluetooth offers higher bandwidth (up to 723 Kbps) than RS-232. As a cheap experiment, it might be worth getting a RS-232 -- Bluetooth adapter and connecting it to your hardware, then make a small change in your app to use the Bluetooth RFCOMM virtual serial driver. You use the driver like any other serial port; use the SrmOpen or SrmExtOpen calls to open it and the Srm calls to send/receive data and close the port. Unfortunately, you need to poll the BT serial driver for inbound data (SrmReceiveCheck). If you call the BT library directly you receive a notification of inbound data so you don't need to poll and you get your data immediately. Of course, this is a lot more work, but you have some sample code like BtLibTest and BtPiconet which don't do exactly what you want but provide a good starting point. For the RFCOMM virtual driver, take a look at the BtCommVdrvr.h file in the OS 5 R3 SDK. I have two freeware apps: BtSerial which uses the Srm calls and polls for data and BtSerial Pro which uses the Bluetooth library directly and receives data the instant it is available. I haven't done any work to verify the latency over Bluetooth. I'd be interested in knowing if it meets the theoretical figures mentioned above. With a bit of work I could run some Palm-to-Palm tests. Unfortunately I can't use my BtServer app since it polls for inbound data; I'd have to create BtServer Pro which will use the BT lib directly.
