 | | NQC vs Spirit communication speed
|
|
This is more a general RCX communication question, actually. As I mentioned here previously, I've ported the NQC communication code to Delphi for the purposes of modifying RcxCC to not use the Spirit OCX. At present I have a version of RcxCC that (...)

(...) Sorry, NQC doesn't have anything like that right now, but its a good idea. I'll make sure it gets added before 2.4 goes final.

Dave, does NQC have version specific #defines? I want to write some code that would compile differently depending on the version of NQC. Something like: #ifndef _NQC24_ ...or... #if (_NQC_ < 24) #include "bitShift.nqh" #endif #ifdef _NQC24_ ...or... (...) (23 years ago, 9-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| | Re: NQC, what gives the fastest code ?
|

It has very little to do with C itself - its really a question of compiler optimization. NQC doesn't have any explicit optimization passes, and there is no data flow or variable lifetime analysis, so often the assembly will be a bit inefficient. (...)

hi All, I'm not a C-programmer, so maybe I'm asking a (very) stupid question. In searching for the fastest algoritme, I looked into the code generated by NQC (through RCXcc-orginal ;-)). I noticed that when you write your code in basic elementary 2 (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
