| Just a quick note for the AMOS Professional developers left...
Earlier this year I released this tool (originally created for Ring around the World) which patches the executables produced by the AMOSPro Compiler V2.00 (and possibly squashed by the AMOSPro Compiler Shell V2.00) to make them faster.
The technical details are included in the manual.

Yes, this is going in right direction...
You can certainly replace the useless ugly three tst.l d3 by three nop just right after the rts of the routine... Last edited by CosmosUnivers on 11-Oct-2024 at 07:33 AM.

Can it optimize for AMMX? |

I chose to not clean up the innocuous leftovers as doing that would require extra processing time and the tool is already (relatively) slow as it's made in AMOS itself  Last edited by saimo on 11-Oct-2024 at 08:00 AM.

No: since the AMOS programs are meant to run also on the 68000, the tool applies optimizations which are generally good for all M68k CPUs.
Just for completeness, in case anyone is wondering: I'm not going to add CPU-specific optimizations/switches and, more in general, I'm not planning to develop the tool further - time is limited and I have other stuff to work on (and, unfortunately, the Amiga ones now will have to wait a bit).Last edited by saimo on 11-Oct-2024 at 08:06 AM.

Well done! Too bad playing video games takes too much of my free time, AMOS is the one and only programming language I learned few years ago. Not that "games" I created needed any speed-up. Downloaded anyway with a small donation. |
