  • Inlining (Score:1)

    by chromatic (983) on 2002.12.12 15:09 (#15377) Homepage Journal

    I'm not sure I said elegant code so much as I said "proof of concept". :) Then again, it was pretty hard to hear over the Elvis-impersonator singing the Cure, Nirvana, and Louis Armstrong covers.

    • Proof of concept ? How does it work briefly ? Do you use an attribute :inline or something ?

      • I didn't get quite that far, but that was my plan. It works (er, segfaults) by grabbing the opcodes to the inlinable sub, then splicing them in to the calling sub.

        The drawback, as I explained to Ovid, is that the worst overhead appears to be entering and leaving scope, not the actual function call.
