Re: [fpc-devel] Standard generic classes

Still, the theory's there just in case... if the arguments are constant (but unknown) and the pure function is called multiple times, then it can be optimised to only be called once. Gareth aka. Kit On 06/06/2019 01:08, J. Gareth Moreton wrote: Ah, fair enough.  I didn't think to study the

Re: [fpc-devel] Standard generic classes

Ah, fair enough.  I didn't think to study the for-loop that closely yet since I haven't really found a need to check its code.  Sometimes I feel silly blurting out my ideas like this, but at least you stopped me from doing a fool's errand.  Thanks. Gareth aka. Kit On 05/06/2019 22:38, Sven

Re: [fpc-devel] Standard generic classes

Sounds fun.  I'm currently working on a personal project to put into my online Github in order to show off to prospective employers, so it might be a while before I get around to that. On another note, I'm also still waiting on Pierre to approve my XML node dump, since he and I have been

Sounds fair.  I would be trying for a refactoring approach, in that the API and outward behaviour is identical to before (i.e. a black box), but the inner workings are better.  I noticed that one potential source of improvement is changing the Quicksort algorithm, used in most of the sorting,

Re: [fpc-devel] Standard generic classes

Still, saying all that, maybe there's room for improvement in rtl-generics in the form of refactoring, like I've found in the compiler itself in a few places.  When you say 'heavyweight', do you mean it's a little slow sometimes or just very bulky when it comes to code size? (Taking a brief

Hah, oh that sounds fun! I would develop something more lightweight and efficient, but that would just make a 4th poison to choose from. Gareth aka. Kit On 05/06/2019 08:01, Sven Barth via fpc-devel wrote: J. Gareth Moreton > schrieb am Di., 4. Juni 2019,
