Do you just think that, because the code is shorter (not using helper-variables), or did you actually test it?

Sadly I can't test that properly since I can't measure the passed milliseconds :/
But if you know a way to do it (even maybe with server file), that'd be great to check.
The only way I know is to execute it millions of times and check the hitch warning; but I think that's really not an exact solution.

Okay so now I have extended those preprocessor directives to be more useful, and also added some more things. Changelog:
[+] Preprocessor directives
[+] Inline functions
[+] Foreach
[+] Filled array and map definitions
[+] Default parameters
[+] Apostrophe strings
[+] Importing
[-] Handling more extreme conditions

I hope it'll be useful for someone. Download: preGSC
Please report every ideas and bugs.

Also kung foo I have benchmarked many things, reference variables are really not useful when using as a constant (so not modifying the data structure itself), also sometimes helper variables are faster (I see no logic behind it, asked BraXi and Ninja and noone knows why, but these were the test results), so I have made inline functions with which we can save much copying (details on ModDB page - no real function call, it will be inserted in the code while compiling with preGSC); I have run 100000 times a removeFromArray function with normal function, and with inline. Normal was 4000ms, inline was 500ms... so thanks for the benchmarking idea.

I take it foreach doesnt work with string-arrays in cod2? For afaik there is no way to get all keys() from such an array...

Ooooooh, no getArrayKeys() in CoD2? :S
Fuuuu

Okay now (in a non-released version) I have enhanced foreach() in several ways. With the -zeroarrays parameter you'll be able to tell the program to generate 0-indexed loops instead of using getArrayKeys().
Even if you are using -zeroarrays or not, you'll be able to pass parameters this way: foreach (player in level.players; 1; n) where 1 means the starting index, and n is size of the array. They are not compulsory, but if starting index is set, then nor without -zeroarrays will getArrayKeys be generated. Also there is must optimization based on much benchmarking, like creating pointer to an element if used more than 2 times inside the loop, etc.

Now it may be a little meaningless description, but I'll serve many examples on the ModDB page when released, containing the usage of parameter and the details of optimizations too.

By the way thanks for reporting that problem.

Cheers.

Hows the source, luke?

[iCore]

I'll make that public when releasing the newest version soon
But also that code will be ugly and shit for an experienced C++ programmer so don't be scared when you see that

Lol sorry it was forgotten xD
Here you are: preGSC source
It is not done by a real compiler with lexical-syntax-semantical analysis, I wanted it to be as fast as possible.
