unroll pragma
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
The ``unroll`` pragma can be used to tell the compiler that it should unroll
|
||||
a `for`:idx: or `while`:idx: loop for execution efficiency:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: nim
|
||||
proc searchChar(s: string, c: char): int =
|
||||
for i in 0 .. s.high:
|
||||
{.unroll: 4.}
|
||||
if s[i] == c: return i
|
||||
result = -1
|
||||
|
||||
In the above example, the search loop is unrolled by a factor 4. The unroll
|
||||
factor can be left out too; the compiler then chooses an appropriate unroll
|
||||
factor.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Currently the compiler recognizes but ignores this pragma.
