I was doing some timing tests and happened to have multiple versions of
OpenSCAD open on my test file. I normally develop in the stable version
2019.05, but I also had 2020.07.23.ai5587 (git 4dcd5a9) with and without
function literals enabled and 2019.12.21.ai4163 (git 4ef45b0).
I was doing this timing test:
function subindex(v, idx) =
[ for(val=v)
let( value=[for(i=idx) val[i]] )
len(value)==1 ? value[0] : value
];
M = [[3,4],[2,1]];
N=500000;
foo = [for(i=[0:N]) subindex(M,1)];
And each version took a different reported time, with 2019.05 taking 4s,
2019.12 taking 6s, and 2020.07 taking 7.6s. I can clearly see that they
finish at different times. Is this a real change in performance? Or are
the nightly builds compiled with less optimization or something?
I'm running AppImage versions under Linux.
