Scripting language performance
Author
I''ve gotten it to about 300 times slower than native, so I don''t feel too bad. My scripting language is doing a ton of stuff dynamically, things that can only be done in a scripting language, so I think I''ll be happy with the fact that my language runs 3x slower than python. I''m not doing any super complex stuff with it, its just meant to be a scripting language for an RPG or some similar game.

My quess is that they do it "the C++ way" and "the C way", not by compiling C code with a C++ compiler.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.
Xalon, read my post again. I don't want to bother explaining it more. Yes yes, I know that C code can be fed to C++ compiler. That was not the point.

civguy, the test you do is compleatly unfair.
...
Also this above code does a LOT more than your two c lines.
It''s as unfair as that site comparing Python and C++. Python is doing a lot more than C++ is.
Also, I find it hard to believe that C++ compilers are better at optimizing C code than C compilers. C compilers have quite a few years on C++ compilers, not to mention that C++ compilers have a lot more to deal with. Also, C++ compilers require more hints in the code (like making you cast the return from malloc). Plus, the idea that you can just feed C code to a C++ compiler isn''t quite true. There are enough (relatively subtle) differences that this can fail (for example, the linking rules for inline functions are different in C and C++).

Do some research into the System.CodeDom and System.CodeDom.Compiler namespaces that are part of the .NET framework.
Why bother writing your own OO scripting language when you can just use a real OO language compiled and invoked at runtime?
I''m using CSharpCodeProvider as a scripting language
That''s one cool idea! I''ll give it a try.

Andre
