@wolf480pl @LukeAlmighty @SuperDicq I'm a software engineer, and while I had to do some silly optimizations in the past, it was usually graphical, as I work in simulations, and occasionally web.
In my experience, readability is the highest priority.
And while it's rare for me to get into optimizations of this kind, it's fascinating.
Thanks for the explanation!
@coded_artist @LukeAlmighty @SuperDicq
the conclusion from all of that is:
1. Instead of trying to be clever, try to write code in such a way that it's easy to understand what you're trying to do - chances are the compiler will be able to make sense of that and apply optimizations much better than you could by hand.
2. If in doubt, look at what instructions the compiler generates, eg. with godbolt: https://godbolt.org/z/oW88b77eW
@wolf480pl @LukeAlmighty @SuperDicq Ooh!
Pass by reference on the CPU level?
That's neat.
