Rewriting the compiler in C ;) Discuss the change on fpc-devel first, if you want to improve performance, generate numbers for at least: make cycle and lazarus building. > >> A subsmission will always be judged on performance and maintainability >> before being admitted. >> >> If this bothers you, try to find smart ways to phase the changes, and >> limit >> yourself to a few things at a time, and don't try to speedoptimize >> I/O, change >> parser, allow multiple frontends etc, all at the same time. > > Just this is hard to obey, when I see so many details that could be > improved. > > Will it do harm when I create more than one branch, e.g. one for general > optimizations?

Yes, just tell me to which branch and what login (I'll try to be faster this time ;)). _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
