computergroove Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 If I am in a loop and I want to exit the loop (free the memory) and goto another function where there is no passing of any arguments, is it better to use the call function or just name the function I want to goto? Example: Func _Main() While 1 If something then Call ("_SecondFunc()") <------This WEnd Func _SecondFunc() While 1 Whatever WEnd Vs Func _Main() While 1 If something then _SecondFunc() <---------This WEnd Func _SecondFunc() While 1 Whatever WEnd Get Scite to add a popup when you use a 3rd party UDF -> http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/docs/SciTE4AutoIt3/user-calltip-manager.html

Nessie Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Obviusly is much faster to call a function without using the Call function. $Flag = False $Int = TimerInit() $i = 0 While 1 $i += 1 If TimerDiff($Int) > 5000 Then ExitLoop ;Call("_SecondFunc") _SecondFunc() WEnd MsgBox(0,"Total Loops", $i) Func _SecondFunc() $Flag = True Return $Flag EndFunc ;==>_SecondFunc Here is my test: Total loops in 30 seconds 1372514 ;Call 2959298 ;Function Total loops in 15 seconds 815344 ;Call 1574040 ;Function Total loops in 5 seconds 225531 ;Call 603675 ;Function Hi!

BrewManNH Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Explain what you mean by "free the memory", because jumping into another function won't free any memory held by the first function. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

water Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Why do you think you will free memory by jumping to another function?
