8 - Optional Step - Optimizing Your Source
In the new OS are some new and improved functions, rewritten in assembly language:| strlen | memcpy | memchr | ||
| memset | strchr | strcpy |
Apparently these are now included as part of the standard library files, so you won't have to do anything special to benefit from the speed improvements. In addition, there are other assembly language routines that can provide specialized speed-ups:
| strlen8 | strlen16 | strlen32 | memcpy32 | ||
| memchr8 | memchr16 | memchr32 | memset8 | ||
| memset16 | memset32 | memset8s | memset16s | ||
| memset32s | strchr8 | strchr16 | strchr32 | ||
| strcpy8 | strcpy16 | strcpy32 |
For further information, see the /franklin/SDK/sneak32/include/libasm.h file. These can be really handy alternatives when you need to optimize a critical section of code simply.
