[Gambas-user] Call modules with _call

[Brian G]

Strangely with the profiler, it appears that the _call() functions run faster than the functions in a module directly.... 
Interesting. 

Thank You

How much overhead does creating a module by name with a _call entry point create 
compared to a direct call in the current module file. 
example 
mmmail module contains this: 
public sub main() 
doThis() 
end 

doThis Module contains this: 
public sub _Call() 
print "hi" 
end 

as opposed to 
mmain module contains this: 

public sub main() 
doThis() 
end 

public sub doThis() 
print "hi" 
end 

I guess the question is how does gambas make the link at runtime 

Maybe Benoît could answer this 

Thank You 
Brian G
