Compilation in progress ...

[MrMat]

Have you tried following test with the example source?

; Another way to solve this... Just only copy and paste the
; complete "Part2" section between EndProcedure and before
; starting the "Part1" section! Can someone confirm and explain
; this?

Then the compiling will be very fast! A bit strange... Tested on a brand new installed WinXP System (2 days old)

I hadn't tested it but i have now and switching part 2 before part 1 does indeed make the compilation almost instant!

We've got different hardware too - i've got an Intel 3 ghz on an Intel motherboard using on-board graphics (after my Radeon 9800 broke) with Win XP SP 2 so not much in common there except the OS.

It's weird, i get the same slowdown (tested on 3.94 and the 4.0 betas). Compiling this part with the debugger off

Code: Select all

For x = 0 To 640 * 4
    For y = 0 To 480 * 4
        calculation = Int(32 * 192)
    Next
Next

takes about 10 seconds. With debugger on it is instant. Anti-virus/firewall/browser on or off makes no difference here.

With debugger < 1 sec, without debugger 3 sec (no virus scanner / firewall).

Here i compile in less than .5 secs the example posted by Mr.Mat, with or without debugger.
The problem is not what the source is, neither its size. And is not related to debugger on or off. It happens time to time, i don't know what's is the cause, but i can say that these behaviours comes since POLINK messages appeared, i.e. since linking was changed (about 3.8x version if i am not wrong).

im using an 3800+ athlon 64 with 1gbyte ram and a radeon 9600XT 256mbyte gfx card. Windows xp SP 2 danish, norton antivirus.

Compiles VERY fast in all sources.

@Psychophanta:
You have to test the full source i posted... i can reprocduce it here everytime!!! If you change the *4 to something like *43 it could be that the compiler need 2 seconds longer for compiling...

btw, how is it possible to speed up the compiling speed just by exchange part1 and part2...? :roll: (seems my old posting / thread about this has been deleted!?)

[Psychophanta]

Sorry va!n. I've not problem here with your example. Less than 2 secs the first time i compile it, and less than 1 sec the next times.
I guess we are talking about different things :roll:

[MrMat]

@va!n: The slowdown is definitely occurring with polink. I'm linking the .obj file generated by pbcompiler/fasm (which is created very fast) but it is the linking that is taking about 10 seconds.

On my desktop (Athlon XP 3000+) it takes 3 sec and on my notebook (Athlon M 1500+) it takes much less than 1 sec. I'm not running any programs on my desktop so there must be another reason for this. If POLINK is the cause, why does it take longer on certain machines?

[va!n]

i think the same as thomas!
