Good job, Oldes!
By the way, I noticed that your ui32-to-int and int-to-ui32
functions might be optimizable.
It looks like you do not use them in any tight loop in
this code, but if you ever do, they might be speeded up
a lot by making your struct once and keeping it in the
context, eg:
context [
s: make struct! [i [integer!]] none
ui32-to-int: func [i /local s][
change third s i
return s/i
]
]
Did you consider this way ?
Anton.
