Re: turning strlen() into an opcode

Do you think strlen() is actually called that often? And isn't it a relatively quick function as it is? Just seems like you are optimizing a function that isn't actually called that often and when it is called having a 25% speedup on a function that takes a tiny fraction of the overall execution time isn't going to be noticeable. I wouldn't be against perhaps opcoding some functions, just not sure strlen() would be my first candidate. -Rasmus On Fri, 8 Nov 2002, Andrei Zmievski wrote: > I've made a small patch that turns strlen() into a statement executed by > the engine instead of a function.
