| 01:45 | < Harlow> | McMartin do you ever do loop unrolling? |
| 02:06 | <&McMartin> | "Ever": Yes, but the circumstances have to be very precisely defined. |
| 02:06 | <&McMartin> | If, as in this case, I am doing 6502 programming, sometimes unrolled loops are *shorter* than the, er, rolled ones. |
| 02:06 | <&McMartin> | (The 6502 CPU is real bad at pointers, but pretty good at arrays with known start points.) |
| 02:10 | <&McMartin> | When using an HLL - even C - I generally do not, though there are some vaguely related techniques I use heavily (generally involving pointer as loop index) |
| 02:10 | <&McMartin> | I will not touch Duff's Device with a 10-foot plasma cannon. |
| 02:10 | <&McMartin> | An awful lot of NES startup code, though, for instance, wants to clear out its 2K of RAM |
| 02:11 | <&McMartin> | And it does it with, basically: for i in range(256) { poke i, 0; poke 256+i, 0; poke 512+i,0; ... poke 7*256+i, 0 } |
