Speeding up your applications..
Hi all,
Euphoria is very user friendly but regarding execution speed, it could use a
boost for certain time critical applications. One way of achieving this
could be to use self-written dll's. The good news is that these dll's do NOT
necessarily have to be written in C... There is a freeware BASIC (yes, BASIC
) compiler called XBasic that produces lightning fast native code. You
can also produce dll's with it!! It also has GUI features but these are much
more difficult to master than in Euphoria. Therefore you can combine the
best of both worlds: the user friendlyness of Euphoria and the speed of
XBasic, and remain programming in BASIC...
I did a small test and it worked. So far, I only exchanged integer
parameters with the dll. Don't know if the double precision number format of
Euphoria and XBasic are the same. Have to check this out.
So, if you feel like experimenting...
kind regards
Eddy
