Fast Logic Circuit

[full brook]

What is the most efficient way to simulate logic circuits because using dynamic allocation and such just causes alot of overhead and i need to generate, evaluate, modify and destroy them extremly quickly for my project

Handwritten assembly, optimized for the specific hardware/software combination you're programming on, but you probably don't want to do that.

Can you go into a little bit more detail? Cause right now I don't understand why it couldn't just be a function, like e.g.:

static inline nand(bit a, bit b) {
    return !(a & b);
}
```(of course there is no `bit` datatype, but we could just use `unsigned char` instead, then do some bit manipulations if required)

If you need fast dynamic alloc maybe use memory pool?

[spark sun]

typedef enum bit {
  FALSE = 0, TRUE = 1
} bit;

allat when bool exists

[spark sun]

depends, older C versions dont have a bool type as a language feature

[main torrent]

i don't want to touch any C version that doesn't have bool in it. didn't stdbool.h come out in C99? ANSI C is just painful. but yeah, if all you got is ANSI C, you'd need that

[spark sun]

C doesn't have language level bool until C2x

[main torrent]

guess i don't understand what "language level" means in this context then

[spark sun]

part of the language

not the standard library

[main torrent]

oh, so you mean it's in by default rather than in a header? in that case, C23 has bool as a keyword, and that superseded _Bool as a keyword, which was introduced in C99 and deprecated in C23

if alloc sucks, pre alloc

[spark sun]

VirtualAlloc the whole address space

Problem solved

[honest depot]

virtual memory being a pain.. just run your own bare metal OS
