Speeding Up Function Lookups

[Jon]

I've moved it back to the static way and it was a few KB larger than initializing inside the constructor, so back to that method

The current size is 198KB (90.5KB compressed).

That's a few KB larger than the previous version but there are many new (and small functions) that could account for that. Quick poll then on "do we keep the new method"? It _is_ a lot neater..

Well, I didn't like the case structure since the first time I saw it. It was too messy for me and required me to do more work than just simply telling AutoIt the name and parameters for my new functions, so I definitely would like to see this new stuff stay.

You should see the v2.64 code.

If it still can work under VC6, I say go for it! Hmm, maybe I should try that compiler that Larry's using.

New thought! (Yeah, I get them every now and then)

Jon, setup the array in the FuncList constructor.

class CFuncList 
{
private:
   enum { List_Size = 88 }; // or how ever many functions there are
   CFuncEntry list[List_Size];  

public:
   CFuncList(void);
};

CFuncList::CFuncList(void)
{
    int i=0;

    list[i++]=CFuncEntry("abs", f_abs, 1, 1);
    list[i++]=CFuncEntry("adlibdisable", f_adlibdisable, 0, 0);
. . .
    list[i++]=CFuncEntry("winwaitnotactive", f_winwaitnotactive, 1, 3);
    ASSERT(i == List_Size);
}

Now we do not need a static initializer and the functions can be called from within the CFuncList directly.
