[JASS] HSAS (Handle Struct Attachment System)

I may use this crap some time...... :)

Lol... Panda, I didn't even know you still played Warcraft... Anyways, looks pretty good to me. Gj.

Something looks wrong with the test results.
When using multiple handles the other systems spead up while yours went slower. What happens if even more handles are used for the test, surely then the results could end up with your system being slower than the others?

Its nothing wrong, my system is still much faster. What multiple handle test does is create 10000 handles, and attaches a struct to each handle. This would be the least likely way the system is going to be used, it is more common that people will attach a struct to the same handle (such as a timer) and retrieve it numerouse times that way. The multiple handle test isnt really an accurate representation, as the majority of people when attaching/retrieving handles are concerned about how fast they retrieve the struct off a single handle (i.e. a periodic timer)

Even then the system is still a massive 35% faster on around 15000 different handles, if you had that many handles and attached a struct to every one of those handles then something weird is going on in your map

You put //! runtextmacro HSAS(...) instead of //! runtextmacro HSAS_Static(...)
Running the textmacro makes a library, right? Then we can have two statics with the same number right, because the library puts it in the map header and it is reachable from anywhere, making it not private.

So if we have 4 or more spells in the map, we have to have more than 3 statics (you said we need 2-3 max).

U can make as many as you want. Its that if you make too many the code in ur map can get kinda long, but in terms of memory and lagging it does nothing. If you have 4 spells in a map then you only need 1 static library. You only need more then 1 static library if you want to attach MORE then 1 struct to a handle

You can use the same static library for multiple spells?

You said that if you need to attach more than 1 struct to a handle you can make a dynamic library, right? Then you only need one static and one dynamic library in a map.

Why is textmacro HSAS_Static run inside the library and HSAS_Dynamic outside it?

Isn't the purpose in these stuff to avoid game cache?

It only resorts to gamecache if you have somehow used up 26000 handles and havent nulled them. Yes you can use the same static library for many spells, its only when you need to attach multiple structs to a single handle i.e. attach multiple structs to a timer for a spell. However in 90% of situations you will never need to attach more then a single struct to a single handle

Ok, thanks.

HSAS v3.40 came out, it now includes debugging options and the ability to scope static/dynamic libraries (local,public and global). Press re-read the usage trigger for more information

HSAS v3.50 has just been released, you can now specify the limit instead of using the arbitrary 24570 enforced limit in previous versions, refer to the usage manual for more information

So these tests are accurate right? Would you suggest me to use this over ABC and HAIL?

That's what I was wondering, what to use?? I don't know anymore.

I suggest you use HSAS, since you can specify any limit you want and it is much faster then either ABC or HAIL (ABC doesn't even attach to units anymore).

As long as you clean up the handle leaks most of the time you will be good to go

That's what I wanted to hear, I didn't want to use systems from that guy anymore..... I just don't like him.
