Re: Does Casting Slow a Program Down?

Thanks very much for your fast reply. I was thinking in general
terms. usLimit/iLimit are given a constant value in the example that
I posted but I was thinking in terms of their being variables that are
determined by input data and/or passed as arguments to a function.
Also, what about casting a (single precision) float to a double or
vice versa? Would that impact the run time or would it depend on the
compiler?

Thanks again,
Peter.

If you're using gcc, use the -s option and check the assembler output of both
versions. If you're using another compiler - lookup how to produce the
intermediate assembler output (if it has that functionality).
