Clarion in general: Using very big arrays by creating them in C 2002-08-31 -- Ole-morten Heien Newsgroups: comp.lang.clarion
I just tried this and it works very well:
In your project, add an external file. Name it MyCool.cpp or
wathever. Just have the CPP extension
This should be in the code:
extern "C" int GetValue(int,int);
extern "C" viod PutValue(int,int,int);
int ThisArray[1000000][128]; /* This declares an array on 128 MB!!! */
extern "C" int GetValue(int X, int Y)
{
return ThisArray[X][Y];
}
extern "C" void PutValue(int X, int Y, int Value)
{
ThisArray[X][Y] = Value;
}
In your Clarion app you should declare the function in your global map
MAP
Module('MyCool.CPP')
GetValue(Long,Long),Long,RAW,Name('_GetValue')
PutValue(Long,Long,Long),RAW,Name(('_PutValue')
END!Module
END!Map
Change your:
MyArray[x,y]=z to PutValue(x,y,z)
and
r# = MyArray[x,y] to r# = GetValue(x,y)
Compile and run.
Fast?
My machine is a Pentium 4 2.4Ghz and 256 MB ram
Two kind of tests:
a. Loop I# = 1 to X
Loop O# = 1 to Y
PutValue(I#,O#,I#)
End!Loop
End!oop
1b. Loop I# = 1 to X
Loop O# = 1 to Y
q# = GetValue(I#,O#)
End!Loop
End!Loop
Looping the tests with X<5000000 and y=100 was around 5 seconds
from x<=100000 and y=100 was pretty instant :-)
