Almar (4 replies, 2447 views) (2004-Feb-28) After quite some work on the database, and quite some programming work, it's finally ready to go online. An all-new section about inline-ASM code for Visual Basic. Created to really get the fastest code in visual basic. Only a simple loop through an array, and adding a number to the array item is already 400% faster.
It's also possible to do things now, that are (were) basically impossible from Visual Basic. A copymemory clone.. using MMX, Getting the CPU information, etc.
Note though, that this is truely for the die-hard programmers, I hope to get a nice code-snippet database online, for various sorts of code. For example, string functions and math functions. Therefore you can submit your own ASM code to Vb Fibre now, hopefully making it a mini planet-source-code ;).
I'd say, have a look!

 | Sounds sweet Almar. I've checked into ASM a few times, just confused the bajeasus outta me. Though, I was wondering, would you lose time if you have to transfer the data you want to work with (like sending to a DLL) to the ASM function(s), or can you stick the ASM code basically right into VB and access the variables declared in VB?  You can do both.. but VBFibre demonstrates the latterone (using VB vars) Whoa... I never knew this inline ASM plugin existed. This has to be the most significant thing to happen to VB. I've seen VC 6 code with inline assembly and wondered why it couldn't be done in VB. Well it can now and to think I contemplated adding a ML subroutine by stuffing it in a string and using variable pointers to access it. Actually seeing the neumonics make it much easier to read and edit. Athlor, if you write some constructive code for VBFibre, please submit it :). I do not have the time (or knowledge) to do all the things I want :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
