If you move an absolute value to the register eax, you can place pointers before as many as you want:
the content of the eax register will always the value you move in it. :wink:

And you always told us you want to move the value 9 inside of the register eax.

If I ignore your wish for the value ...

If I had to guess, it seems like you're trying to patch the memory of a process by DLL injection. (game hacks, proprietary software mods, …)

If that's the case, there are a couple problems with your approach:


FileSeek(…) should not be used to select a memory location to be modified. That ...

Super thanks to the PB team — so many QoL and stability improvements this cycle !

Trying to manipulate the browser from your application is ill-advised; many browsers exist and they're constantly changing, which makes this sort of solution quite hacky/finicky and fragile. You're liable to end up killing a user's important/unrelated tabs by mistake.

As you've noted, the WebGadget ...

As much as I'd love unsigned support, Fred and Timo seemed to pretty strongly reject it in the past:


These are primary for use to manipulate characters (ascii or unicode) indepently of the main 'Unicode' flag (unlike the .c type). Indeed, it works perfectly as well for unsigned byte and word ...

V9; I couldn't resist :shock:

Procedure.i SortList_V9()
Protected.MyStruct *cur, *ins, *ref

; Associate each list entry with its corresponding map entry.
ForEach StructList()
StructMap(StructList()\Entry)\Sort = @StructList()
Next

; Sort the list
ForEach StructList()
*cur ...

Thanks Fred! I'll PR the related flicker patch in a bit as well.

And aah, seems I have to report another bug: the Yuki doesn't search the forum properly first

Super handy to know, thanks for that tip!

Having said this, I do appreciate that some people just like a coding challenge, regardless of the practical purposes.

That's it. It' just like a puzzle.
And for me I guess it might have to do with my age.
A habit from back in the 80's with a Zilog Z80a cpu running at 3.5 Mhz.


So much this ...

Ghidra is pretty good and open-source, but being owned by the NSA turns some people off to it.

IDA is closed-source but I tend to prefer it (more accustomed, faster, more plugins, better analysis of common patterns).


ask Fred if decompiling is allowed

That's not what I'm interested in. I ...

I updated my previous post.
I believe I could improve a tiny bit on the speed of your V8 by marking the elements without a reference a bit earlier.


Added to results table! (renamed from V8A → V8B to match convention of others)

I considered marking ref'd entries ahead of time, and didn't bother ...

Have you got a header ?

(
- the kurzer usual structure
- a common initial storage (with randomSeed(#publicNumber)
)

I will give a complete code either. I think my personnal optimization is alternate the truth of the variable done for not to waste a time to zero it/them.

And I ignore if the map ...

That's a very clever example, yuki!
I didn't even know that icon changing could be so fast, you could even create animations that way :)


Yeah, it can be changed quite rapidly!

Though, submitting many images in short succession this way (esp. large ones) can ramp up load a bit. So, while it's ...

I do not find my duration for this code ! (page 3)

Ah, I can measure and add timing for it if you'd like.

There are two compiler errors that I'm not sure if I've fixed correctly, because final sort order isn't valid (elements appear before their ref).

In entryListCreateMap ...

Ooh, if the sort field's value isn't strictly required to convey order (but instead used purely for accelerating sorting), we can squeeze more gains!

I present — for today's episode of "Optimisation of a Sorting Algorithm" — the fastest yet... V8:

Procedure.i SortList_V8()
