Howdy all.
Just wanted to send a quick note saying that my mail died for a few
hours yesterday, and I lost a lot of the very good discussion (and
emotional feud) that was generated. But, as the subject says,
thankfully the mailing lists are archvied, so I'm catching up on
everything that I missed...
A few notes on things I've seen so far:
- I had also coded up a bitfield vs bitmasks test like Dan
did, and under AIX (have to try Linux still) running like
100,000,000 sets & clears, the times it took for each (under
both xlc and gcc) were VERY similar. Didn't compare the
generated assembler though, I'll have to do that. But since
the times are so similar, I doubt a performance hit will
actually be noticed. The times, in case anyone is
interested:
AIX xlc -g: 23 seconds for both
-O2: 3 seconds for bitfield, 0 for bitwise &/|
AIX gcc 2.7.2.1 -g: 29 for bitfield, 27 for bitwise
-O2: 6 seconds for both
Still need to do some more testing though.
- I like all of the feedback I saw. Thanks! Still reading it
all...
I'll try and make more responses to mail I missed as I can. If anyone
sent anything to me directly and didn't copy the list, you may want to
resend it...
Thanks,
Chuck
