VB: P-Code OR Optimized Code (when compileing)

[phvckmeh]

This is based on what i know

P-Code
Pros: Smaller EXE Files, Less memory usage

Optimized code
Pros: Faster code?
Cons: More memory usage (so its accutally slower)

I dont know which do use...

Yeah im compiling my bot, and i wonder which would be better

Wouldn't that depend if it was Ops, Chat, Annoying Flood/Mass Bot?

Don't use P-Code; that's all there is to it.

Any reasons why? It seems to be faster+more stable when i use it, also half the exe size and half the ram usage.....

The whole point of pcode is to shrink the executable size. The fact that VB requires a few megs in dependencies kind of makes that a waste IMO.

Atleast it makes all the dumb people think your app is small ^_^

P-Code = pseudo code = interpreted at runtime = slower than native code.

It's as simple as that.

Well personaly the p-code has been running better, i get faster startup times, and it uses about 4 megs less ram...

Why would your bot use more than 4 to begin with?

[Grok]

There are times you will want to use p-code.  VB sometimes gets weird errors (application exceptions) on otherwise harmless-looking lines of code when it is compiled to machine code.  If you recompile it to p-code, those errors go away.  So the machine code compiler for VB is not perfect.  I write enough code that I see this condition once every 3-4 months.

it went from 6.3megs to 2.4
