Hello.
It's extremely important, at least for me, to take into account the speed of execution of every statement/operator/construct in the language I use, so when it comes about using one of several approaches, to pick the fastest one.
One might argue that the difference between checking with an if statement and simply managing the condition mathematically within the += operator doesn't have a visible performance impact. Or using abs(value) instead of the if check.
However, bit by bit, at a given point, there will accumulate a difference if one doesn't pay attention to this.
This is a kind of apology for what I'm going to ask
As Lite-C is based on C (and C++ ?) Are the performance ratings for the Lite-C constructs (I hope I'm using the right word) the same as for C/C++? And I would deeply appreciate if somebody would show me where I could find a table with them either for Lite-C or C/C++; something like:
+, - 1 CPU cycle
*, / 1.1 CPU cycles
if 1.2 CPU cycles
for() 2.5 CPU cycles
abs() 2 CPU cycles
etc.
At least to state if they're of low/medium/high speed like in the A7 manual.
