Mark, obviously you ask relating to Bob's IPv4 sort problem.
But when optimising (for speed) the connected formula (1) a + b * 2^8 + c * 2^16 + d * 2^32 using the constants is slightly faster: (2) a + b * 256 + c * 65536 + d * 16777216 Why is the engine not handling the internal bitshifts easier with (1)? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
