FPC call c library speed very slow

[Leledumbo]

well, nobody else has efficiency issues with the code you provided.

Add me to the list:

Code: [Select]

$ cat forloop.c
#include <stdint.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void for_loop_time()
{
    int i, tmp = 0;
    clock_t t1 = clock();

    for (i = 0; i < 1024; i++)
    {
        tmp += i;
    }

    printf("space %d clock_t value %d \n", (int)(clock() - t1), tmp); //print tmp to prohibit gcc optimize
}

$ cat testforloop.pas
program testforloop;

{$link ./forloop.o}
{$linklib c}

uses
   CTypes, sysutils;

procedure for_loop_time; cdecl; external;

begin
    for_loop_time;
end.

$ cat forlooptest.c
void for_loop_time();

int main() {
    for_loop_time();
    return 0;
}
