- :noname faster than : named ......

Rick,

Sorry, the test sequence I have send is not correct.

But, the original test is correct (difficult to isolate from the class system).

I compare...

        variable va variable vb

        : a ( -- ) 0 va ! va @ vb ! 1 vb ! vb @ va ! ;
        : act a a a a a ;
        : loop0 0 ?DO act LOOP ;
        : loop1 0 ?DO i loop0 LOOP ;

With...

        class cloop
          variable va
          variable vb
            : a 0 self va ! self va @ self vb ! 1 self vb ! self vb @ self va ! ;
            : act self a self a self a self a self a ;
            : loop0 0 ?DO self act LOOP ;
        public
            : loop1 0 ?DO i self loop0 LOOP ;
        end

        cloop build oloop

        [TIMING 2048 loop1 TIMING] \ result is 7"

        [TIMING 2048 oloop loop1 TIMING] \ result is 3"

Finally, the class version is twice faster.

In the OLOOP object,

        * VARIABLE are not true variables but memory offsets
        * Each SELF XXXX is equivalent to: ID XT-TABLE[] @ COMPILE,

Probably a adress alignement problem...
