Re: Parsing overhead for commenting out line endings

interpreted = N
texte = The engine creates a new instance of the comment context for every [!] token it encounters. So, in the example below, the engine creates 11 context instances (for just one iteration of the loop). Without the extra comments, the engine would only create 5 context instances. However, the comment context code is fast and small, so the performance hit is not very significant. The new [return] context was created to eliminate the need to use those extra comment blocks when writing a function definition, as a convenience to the programmer. And the code will run a bit faster.> -----Original Message----- > From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com]On Behalf Of > Rob Marquardt > Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 3:08 PM > To: WebDNA Talk > Subject: Parsing overhead for commenting out line endings > > > I was looking through the 5.0 docs when I found this under > the [return] > context: > > > [function name=add_em_up][!] > > [/!][text]result=0[/text][!] > > [/!][loop start=1&end=10][!] > > [/!][text]result=[math][result]+[index][/math][/text][!] > > [/!][/loop][!] > > [/!][result][!] > > [/!][/function] > > > > > > Executing the above function, and wrapping the result with > URL tags, we get: > > 55 > > > > The extra 'garbage' is gone, but using all those [!][/!] > pairs is cumbersome, > > and does add some extra parsing overhead. > > Just how *much* parsing overhead?
