I dunno if this would always be the case. Considering the original post appears to be referencing copying textures, it could be the case that these textures are small and could fit in L1/L2 cache. Many many modern architectures have per-core lower level cache. Usually 256KB. But yes, you can be rig...

It seems that your code is basically a memory copy that will be memory, not CPU bound with sufficient enough operations. So IMHO this is not really a case for parallel for. Use memcpy or derivatives, or improve the compiler to unroll and optimize the three component RGB24 assignments to e.g. 3 32-bi...

Sounds like Intel assembler syntax being interpreted by an assembler expecting AT&T.

And if you have characters outside the current codepage, you either need to go to -W strings, or enable UTF8 application as per application manifest

FB does have inline functions (when using -gen gcc) . The keyword is PRIVATE (which is equivalent to 'static' in C). Marking a function PRIVATE indicates that the function is internal to that module and can't be called from outside it. (In my messages, I assumed gen gcc would already do inlining wi...

That's pretty much all you have to do. Inlines are basically suggestions to the compiler to do what amounts to fancy text substitution. Inlines and e.g. generics/templates can be done in several ways/levels. Using token replay (which is closer to the text), or using a stored node form (which is clo...

Afaik non LTO gcc inline requires to lift the functions from .c to .h ? I don't have much experience with LTO (other than the principle) Sometimes another workaround is to move some of the big loops around the functions to the same compilation unit class. E.g. never call such a function in a loop, b...

Maybe define the loopvar as unsigned ?

Also my deepest condolences.

in MacOS Mojave when trying to build the latest Git repo I get unknown ld option --eh-frame-hdr at the stage of linking fbc, have no idea why eh-frame is afaik support for ELF/Dwarf exception frames. OS X' binary format however, is not ELF, but MachO. Note that therefore the binutils (LD and AS and...

Yes, sounds Kylixy/CLX

Which has no legal standing whatsoever. So what you wanted to achieve by asking ChatGPT this, seems a mystery to me.

(I'm no lawyer either, but have followed such cases in the news for decades) Even without the Oracle to Google lawsuit, headers rarely generate code, and GPL is a linking license (iow about linking generated code to other generated code). Users using the headers will also link code, but GPL allows t...

Thanks srvaldez, It worked but it was slower, probably because the ASM interrupts the GCC optimizations. Also: the old bit instructions often can't be parallelized/interleaved as much, and the call alone has overhead too. Operations like AND are the cheapest (single cycle, low latency and supported...

so, what you guys think?

Why do you choose all that bloat? Why not directly let FB generate WebAssembler bytecode?
