ZDoom 2.1.7

Post by **randi** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 11:49 pm

Well, you could get a rough idea by compiling with NOASM and then comparing the performance with the regular version. The assembly code makes extensive use of self-modification for variables that don't change within a single call of each function, which any ordinary compiler would never try to do.

However, is this also true for x86_64? I know of at least one project (crypt_blowfish) where a hand-tuned assembly version would not improve much on anything but x86.

That is a good point. My understanding is that compilers do a much better job when they have more registers to play with, since there's less creativity involved.

I'm sorry if this is off-topic, but there isn't a GZDoom based on ZDoom 2.1.7? I just got myself a new laptop and wanted my new "installation" of GZDoom to be up-to-date. I think it will run pretty smoothly on the GeForce Go 7950 GTX.

No, there isn't. The reason is that at the same day 2.1.7 was released I committed a large change to ZDoom itself. In other words, I never had GZDoom code I could update to 2.1.7 because it was already at a newer stage. And in the last month there have been more changes so at the moment I can't create something based on a release build.

So new gzdoom isn't going to appear until custom state labels are finished? that seems logical

Custom state labels are fully working. But there have been other changes as well.

Sorry, I keep forgetting about that.

I see some stuff in the Changelog I want. Detaching a lot of the specific code from monsters and applying them to codepointers instead for starters, as well as Monster Autoaim only.

"- Changed SDL mouse handling to be basically identical to the (non-DirectInput) Win32 code. The mouse is polled periodically and constantly warped to the center of the window. Despite what the SDL docs specify, SDL_WM_GrabInput() is apparently no longer a reliable means of obtaining continuous relative mouse motion events."

Ooooh, I'll be able to use my cursor based magnifying glass with ZDoom! I was going to complain about that behavior but I see it's been addressed.
