AVS Evallib changes

Justin apparently went on a little coding spree last night and added the following things to the AVS evallib:

- The avs compiler now builds/compiles the code directly, so almost no jumps/function calls are used anymore.

- if(x,y,z) no longer evaluates both y and z, but only the relevant one

- A new function invsqrt(x), which approximates 1/sqrt(x) very fast. It's more than accurate enough for most applications. Useful for vector normalization and stuff.

If you're curious what this means...
Before: Neon Coaster @ 30fps
After: Neon Coaster @ >100fps

Basically any preset in which speed is determined by code rather than graphical operations will go much faster.

Will be available in a day or two 😉.

omfg - that's awesome. yay for speeds.

Fucking nice work Justin! 👍

Proves once again that Justin is a god sent from some other dimension...

Fantastic! Now if I only knew how to use it to its true potential. 🙂

i can think of a few presets right away that will benifit enourmously.

Though i dont think ive ever needed 1/sqrt(x) more that once in a preset.

My "dooms day" visions are a bit off? 🙄

does this mean that now, giveing per point data is fastest with nested ifs?

This is now avaibale now apparanetly in Winamp5 rc or something

if(x,y,z) no longer evaluates both y and z, but only the relevant one------

was writen 'wrong' in teh first place. 😕

Neon Coaster is sweet now on my computer - just threw it into fullscreen at 1024x768 and was getting 60FPS. That was awesome.

I look forward to testing this when I have a chance. 🙂

All hail the mighty Justin!

mmmm....fps....😛

that is "superfaster"

I still hope we will have arrays and vectors 🙁
