VK said:"Alias is more effective then explicit method call" is some
kind of urban legend to me appealing to one of the most
strong mythologems of programming: "shorter text ===
quicker program"; "alias()" is much shorter than
"f.ff.fff.ffff()", thusly it just has to be more
effective.
Idiot.
With such linear interpretation it would be also obvious
to expect that f() - f.ff.fff.ffff() -
f.ff.fff.ffff.f.ff.fff.ffff() - ...
have to show twice bigger time difference between each
pair from left to right.
You never let English get it the way of your saying nothing worthwile.
In fact the maximum possible performance is very rarely
the primary target in programming. ...
So having realised for yourself that everything you have posted to this
thread to date was utter rubbish you now what to make out that
differences in execution speed don't matter anyway? You would have been
better off staying silent from the outset as then you could avoid looking
such a fool.
