NTS - Not Too Shabby(Posted 2014-11-23)
Been benchmarking some new Map types - TIntMap and TPtrMap for now.


Some stats, showing improved performance of using the primitive value as the key for the map :
Map
2567 : 100
2485 : 200
2431 : 300
2430 : 400

PtrMap
1554 : 100
1758 : 200
1460 : 300
1443 : 400


Interestingly, I ran the TMap code on the original bcc, and it comes up with this :
Map
2837 : 100
2953 : 200
2995 : 300
3139 : 400


I was expecting the generated asm to be much faster than my generated C, but was rather surprised to find the code running almost at the same speed, if not a wee bit faster!

(tested on OS X Mavericks i7, 32-bit binaries, Release mode)

Cool :-)

Here we can see BlitzMax compiling the BRL.Blitz module to Linux ARM. The interesting thing to note here is that the whole process is running natively on the Raspberry Pi.
It's not fast, but it works ;-)

Interestingly, I had all kinds of problems cross-compiling on Linux (x86) to Linux (ARM). Issues with libraries and so on.
However, I discovered someone had built such a thing for OS X, which *just worked*, allowing me to firstly cross-compile BlitzMax on OS X to Linux ARM, and then ftp the bcc and bmk binaries to the raspberry pi, and start compiling natively there.
Cool beans!
