Hi Enrico, > Are there real advantages in compiling with -gc3 (speed, size, ...)?
A short explanation: Programatically, there are advantages for speed at the expense of bigger file size. By compiling a PRG with -gc3, xHarbour virtual machine ( to be exact: function hb_vmExecute() ) will be bypassed. IOW, PCODEs are no longer analyzed via a switch-case construct. Under -gc3, PCODEs are directly translated into variables to be fed into sub VM routines.
