    Re: twinBASIC programming - Beta releases

    Wayne is starting work this week on integrating the LLVM optimising compiler into twinBASIC.

    Wayne says: "this coming week I'll be diverging slightly and starting some work on the LLVM integration.
    I appreciate that there are still some big ticket things remaining, such as MDI support, and Printers support, but I hope you'll agree with me when I say that I believe we've been making good progress lately and now feels about the right time to start experimenting with LLVM.

    Re: twinBASIC programming - Beta releases

    LLVM is apparently what is needed for performance-optimized builds from the compiler. Right now performance lags behind VB6 performance optimized native code (but it's ahead of VB6 P-code), optimizing tB is expected to match and often exceed that.

    Understanding it any more than that... good luck, lol

    It creates intermediate representations, which I understand would be useful if you wanted to make a language then feed it into an existing compiler, but how it fits into where you have your own language and own compiler to optimize performance... I read a bunch of articles about it trying to figure that one out to no avail. I assume it makes sense to people who make languages and compilers, which isn't me.

    I still don't understand the relationship between LLVM and Wayne's compiler.

    Re: twinBASIC programming - Beta releases

    Wayne's compiler must be capable of emitting some interim code that LLVM can compile or recompile to more efficient native code. I am guessing here, someone please confirm.

    I still don't understand the relationship between LLVM and Wayne's compiler.
    tl;dr LLVM make .exe go faster. How? Me not know. 😂

    Is it possible to understand that Wayne's compiler compiles twinBasic code into "P-Code"?

    No, it compiles to native code. The tB unoptimized native code currently performs much better than VB6 P-Code, but slower than VB6 optimized native code.

    Wayne shared some early benchmarks for LLVM optimized tB, it's very close to VB6 native code in performance, and greatly reduces exe size, with some room for improvement since he hadn't yet enabled support for CPU instruction sets like SSE.

    tB(debug-grade) ~400 per 5 seconds (code size: 1283 bytes)
    tb(llvm) ~1280 per 5 seconds (code size: 276 bytes)
    VB6(fastest) ~1250 per 5 seconds
    for this test:

    Code:
    [ UseLLVM ]
        [ ArrayBoundsChecks (False) ]
        Private Function RunSieve(ByVal lSize As Long) As Long
            Dim Bits()          As Long         ' changed from Byte to Long for now
            Dim lFactor         As Long
            Dim lIdx            As Long
            Dim lCount          As Long
    
            'On Error Resume Next               ' error handling not supported yet in our LLVM backend
            lIdx = 0 'UBound(Bits)
            If lIdx < lSize Then
                ReDim Bits(0 To lSize) As Long
            End If
            lFactor = 3
            Do While lFactor * lFactor <= lSize
                 If Not Bits(lFactor) Then
                    For lIdx = lFactor * lFactor To lSize Step 2 * lFactor
                        Bits(lIdx) = 1
                    Next
                 End If
                lFactor += 2
            Loop
            lCount = -(lSize >= 2)
            For lIdx = 3 To lSize Step 2
                lCount += 1 - Bits(lIdx)
            Next
            Return lCount
        End Function
    
        Public Sub TestSieve()
            Dim dblStart        As Double
            Dim lPasses         As Long
    
            Debug.Assert RunSieve(1000000) = 78498
            dblStart = Timer
            Do While Timer < dblStart + 5
                RunSieve 1000000
                lPasses += 1
            Loop
            Debug.Print "wqweto;" & lPasses & ";" & Format$(Timer - dblStart, "0.000") & ";1;faithful=no,bits=8"
        End Sub

    Re: twinBASIC programming - Beta releases

    When will multiple source files in a project be supported? For example, multiple bas files are saved in the hard disk directory. Facilitate multiple different projects to share the module. With one change, the other projects will become the latest version of the module.
