Program Efficiency

[CodeTRUCKER]

I was wondering if there is a "tester" or utility in EBASIC that could test the efficiency of my program source code.  The idea is to find any unused variables, subs, etc.  It would also be good to see a graph of how many milliseconds were spent on each line of code. It seems like something that might already be in the Debug Builds, but I haven't found it yet?

Is this available for EBASIC?

Nope.  What you are looking for is code profiling, something very complicated to write, although it isn't hard to time a subroutine.

Nope.  What you are looking for is code profiling, something very complicated to write...

Is this something that will be coming in the future, if so is there a time frame?

... although it isn't hard to time a subroutine.

How would you suggest doing this?   BTW - Thanks for the reply!

Thanks Michael. - I haven't figured it all out yesterday and I get the logic.  I was thinking about doing the kind of the same thing with a modified "DEBUGPRINT" if I could get tit to work?

I've also noticed you are still a big fan of UltraEDIT.  I am giving the UE Studio for programmers a whirl.
Do you know anything about the UES? 
How do I get the editor to use the syntax coloring? 
Is there a separate d/l for EBASIC users?

Wow! lots of questions.... hope you don't mind?

If I can make any reasonable improvements in the wordfile.txt excerpt, I'll be sure and pass them along, but right now I can't even find the compiler path?!?

PS - Check your PM.
