Thanks for that explanation. I didn't know that, but the explanation

Re: [Audyssey] Rem Statements

2012-02-21 Thread Jim Kitchen

Hi Dennis,

Thank you, I thought that was the difference between low level and high level 
programming languages.  I didn't know about the difference in for the target 
machine though.

In the first Basic language that I programmed in it actually had peek, poke and 
something like varpoint.  And I learned and used the hexadecimal code to 
redesign the ascii character set.  That was some fun stuff.  In VB6 I miss the 
locate statement that Extended Quick Basic (PDS7) had to put print anywhere on 
the screen and it could be written to the console so that all dos screen 
readers would read it automatically.  But I sure do love that in VB6 I can send 
text straight to the sapi5 text to speech engine and use DirectX to play and 
control multiple sound files.

BTW The size of the source code of my larger games look like;

awesome  frm160,225 08/08/2011  05:47 AM
monopoly frm163,208 11/24/2008  06:02 PM
mach1tts frm163,709 10/04/2009  03:42 AM
football frm190,946 12/21/2005  07:45 PM
mach1frm218,234 02/07/2003  11:00 AM

The size of your Alter Aeon server code boggles my mind.

Thanks again.

Thomas and Jim,

Most of the time, the executable size is dominated by the linked in
libraries, which are usually a lot bigger than the source.  However,
the size of the executable is very dependent on the programming
language used and can be either bigger or smaller than the source code
depending on the language.  The target machine is also a big factor in
the executable size.

For example, assembly language programs almost always compile down to
smaller machine code; however, basic programs almost always compile
down to much larger programs than the original source, even including
comments.  This is because assembly language is a very detailed, low
level language, wheras in basic a single print statement can require
hundreds or thousands of instructions to be compiled correctly.

As a real world example, the Alter Aeon server code is written in c++,
and the source code size is 9.5 megabytes.  The final executable is
14.3 megabytes.  This is a particularly good example, because the
server uses very few libraries and is the executable size is almost
completely server code instead of library code.

This is on a 64 bit linux machine.  Our previous host server was a 32
bit server, and on 32 bit machines the executable size would only be
about ten megabytes instead of 14.

In summary, It's really hard to make general assumptions about
executable versus code size like 'compiled code is always smaller than
the source'.  The different languages and architectures allow for
extremely wide variation.

Just FYI.
