Tuzo, Joe,
So if I understand this correctly, in my code I use many loops for
complex functions and comment many lines because of the complexity.
If each line I comment takes 100 ns and I am running a 50,000 bar
backtest, I could end up with 800 ms of time wasted in // comments!
Since the /* */ comments are removed once when the formula is loaded,
they are not going to affect these times.
I don't think I am wasting that much time in // comments though,
because that would mean that half my execution time was skipping
comments and I don't think that is reasonable. Looking over some of
my loops, I can see that I kept the comments on lines inside the loops
to a minimum.
Still, I would like to comment my code freely without thinking that my
comments are hurting the execution speed.
That means that I need to use /* */ comments for code unless the //
EOL comments are also removed once when loaded.
BR,
Dennis
