Current syntax (default 10000 iterations)
["...your code where you need to escape ""..."] call BIS_fnc_codePerformance;
Proposed alternative syntax
{...yourcode where you don't need to escape anything because it is a code not string..} call BIS_fnc_codePerformance;
This is my third attempt through different channels to get this added. Why? Because it is easy to memorize and because it makes sense :)
It's not as simple when you look at the source for the function. You'd need an extra call that would skew the testing.
It is simple, very simple...Observe:
ORIGINAL:
_codeText = compile format [
"
_time = diag_ticktime;
for '_i' from 1 to %2 do {
%1
};
_timeResult = ((diag_ticktime - _time) / _cycles) * 1000;",
_code,
_cycles
];
MODIFIED:
_codeText = compile format [
"
_time = diag_ticktime; for '_i' from 1 to %2 do %1; _timeResult = ((diag_ticktime - _time) / _cycles) * 1000;
",
if (typeName _code == typeName "") then [{"{" + _code + "}"},{_code}],
_cycles
];
Also I suggest subtract the time it takes to run empty code from the total time, this way the for loop testing mechanism will be counted out.
[""] call bis_fnc_codePerformance should be 0 theoretically but it is something like 0.0028ms
