Re: A few minor optimization patches

PGO won't do this kind of optimization either. It's more useful to move around branches considering likeliness, speculating virtual calls, inlining selectively and so on, and anyway, integrating PGO to software releases is a real PITA. And there's the issues of having a representative PGO session. …

Re: A few minor optimization patches

Here we probably have a game that is not CPU intensive and does lot of sync checks on the p3da, no? Yes, the usual targets of optimizations are games that push the system to limits. I am 150% positive that gcc and msvc would just compile the code as it is written Profile-guided optimization usually …

Re: A few minor optimization patches

oprofile does recognize as "anonymous" the executable generated pages. They're usually more than 50% of the overall time so not sure if that anon accounts for the recompiler code. The RENDER_StartLineHandler optimisation was a huge win for the function IIRC Sounds like a compiler problem to me …

Re: A few minor optimization patches

my goal is to have a look to the top functions that come out from oprofile on my laptop That's only of use if oprofile can gather information about the generated code from the recompiler. Otherwise your "few percent" are "pretty much zero" which is why I've asked for real benchmarks on this.

Re: DOSBox.exe - Entry Point Not Found

in DOSBox General
even though Nicholas Wirth's famous quote says, "All non-trivial software has at least one bug in it." All respect to Wirth but I prefer PEBCAC for a much higher hit ratio. Maybe their fecal matter doesn't stink ... Er what? You can stick your figers in your ears and pretend I didn't say that I …

Re: DOSBox.exe - Entry Point Not Found

in DOSBox General
Well i don't know about win2000/dx specialities but DirectX diagnostics even say I don't have any input devices sounds pretty broken itself and no matter what old version you try it won't work without a recognised mouse/keyboard.

Re: Where i can find HeXen II: Continent of Blackmarsh?

in Milliways
Who said anything about posting it anyway? Where did I say somebody said that? Do you really think anybody is actually going to take the time to look into it, especially if they're not getting paid to do it? I don't know and I don't care. If such information can't provide I assume it's still under …
