Hi I wrote two programs one in C and one in Freepascal.
The program read a variable of a library and write it to stdout. I will put it into a file: ("#: ./dataprog > file.dat"). I use "printf" in the C and "writeln" in Freepascal. The problem: The fpc-based program is explicit slower than the c-based program. My questions: Why is it so? Is it possible to avoid the problem? -------------- C source: for (i=0;i<n;i++) { out1=(single) libout1[i]; out2=(single) libout2[i]; count+=1; printf("%20.0f%15.5f%15.5f\n",count,out1,out2);} -------------- fpc source: for i:=0 to n do begin out1:=single(libout1[i]); out2:=single(libout2[i]); inc(count); writeln(stdout, count:20, out1:15:5, out2:15:5); end; -------------- _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
