I wrote an AutoIt script which reads a binary file (about 16000 data points), does some very simple maths (add, multiply) and writes it back. I used _WinAPI_ReadFile/_WinAPI_WriteFile. I noticed that it takes rather long time to do DllStructGetData/DllStructSetData and simple maths in a loop, I think it took about 200 ms for this loop on my pentium 4. By comparison, fortran (g95) is about 100 times faster.

Of course AutoIt has never been intended to do complex maths operations and should not be used for this purpose, but it just occurred to me that if efficient whole array operations (like add, multiply etc and also DllStructGetData and some other functions) were introduced, the speed of many scripts could increase significantly.

Please forgive my ignorance if this makes no sense.

Hi,

not sure if you handle this as a bug, but in current version of tidy from SciTE4AutoIt and in the beta version (2.2.1.13) a white space after an if statement followed by a paranthesis will be removed.

For example:

if (@error or $i=1) then

will become:

if(@error or $i=1)

Same behavior with "or" followed by a paranthesis.
