Hi Dave,
On the RCX side, I wouldn't want true objects. I wouldn't want to fill up the
RCX variables with vtables and the program memory with the code to use the
vtables.
But on the PC side of things I'm beginning to think objects can be very useful.
Converting to objects has really made my library smaller, more efficient, and
the code much easier to understand. Again, I hope to have some examples on the
net in a few days, which will demonstrate these ideas.
How well these ideas whould port to NQC, I don't know. In VB there's PC-side
code and RCX code. The two are very different. I can create lots of things in
my code that only appear on the PC-side. This gives me a nice structure to work
with without putting the overhead onto the RCX. But if I were to make a guess,
I would guess that the same concept would work on NQC. The overhead of objects
could be limited to the PC side of things and standard bytecodes downloaded to
the RCX.
It's an interesting idea.
