[Gambas-user] trimming extra spaces from within a string.

[Brian G]

Yes My function does rely on fast unsafe and does cause a penalty when the app first start for the compile...
The string@ or pointer@ use a lot of overhead when not used with unsafe.

But even just fast unsafe on this one function pays off.

Also notice that using anything but integers as counters seems to seriously slow down functions

Note: My regex example did not come from Tobi.... Lol

Thank You
Brian G

Yes it (fixstring) is much faster but only with 'Fast Unsafe', otherwise
it is much slower (about 400 times!).

Interestingly all other methods do not benefit from 'Fast'.

And the editor in the IDE is heavily broken with 'Fast Unsafe Public Sub'.

Alles Gute
