 Posted: Thu Nov 16, 2023 7:37 am Post subject: custom printer with faster luaEngine 'print' |
 |
|
The motivation of this extension is to speed up ce's normal 'print', which will output to the LuaEngine UI form.
The main function is 'new_printer(printer, sPrint)' where 'sPrint' is a function to convert inputs into some formatted string, then 'printer' is the function to output the string.
Each call of 'new_printer' will create a new function that equivalent to normal 'print', but may has differnet format, and different output target (for instance, it can be a memo in your custom form).
For 'sPrint' function, the extension provide 2 formation function, you may try make your own formation, eg. to expand/serialize table content ;
| Code: |
for input ('a',1,nil,true), the sample outputs are
normal : a 1
num_sprt : [1] a, [2] 1, [3] nil, [4] true
sprt : a, 1, nil, true
|
test code:
| Code: |
--[[
local oo = {}
local cc = 1
for ii =1,4 do
cc = cc * 10
local str = 'abc'
local now1 = os.clock()
math.randomseed(1)
for i=1,cc do
prt(i,str:rep(math.random(10,30),', '))
end
now1 = os.clock()-now1
local now2 = os.clock()
math.randomseed(1)
for i=1,cc do
print(i,str:rep(math.random(10,30),', '))
end
now2 = os.clock()-now2
oo[1+#oo] = string.format('%8d:- prt:%10.4f, print:%10.4f, %6.2f%% ', cc, now1, now2, now2/now1*100)
end
createTimer(5000,print, table.concat(oo,'\n\r'))
--]]
--[[ sample result
10:- prt: 0.0090, print: 0.0800, 888.88%
100:- prt: 0.0760, print: 1.1080, 1457.89%
1000:- prt: 0.8600, print: 12.0580, 1402.09%
10000:- prt: 9.4840, print: 119.8530, 1263.73%

Other global:
- original_print : as named, the ce's original 'print' function; in case original 'print' changed, it can be restore with this variable;
- sprt : 'sPrint' formator to split items with tab;
- num_sprt : 'sPrint' formator to prefix items with the order number [1],[2], ... etc
- lua_engine_printer : 'printer' to speed up normal 'print';
- luaEngineprint : the default 'print' function with printer = lua_engine_printer and sPrint = num_sprt
- prt : alias of luaEngineprint
The script has not change the original 'print'.
GOOD:
- faster print using the default 'prt'
- show some variable that may be invincible in normal 'print'
BAD:
- the output of 'new_printer' function has a delay (max 1sec idle) to print;
- there can be make multiple 'print' to output to same target (a memo in a form), but since there is a delay, their mixed output may be out of order, eg.
'prt' and normal 'print' output to the same LuaEngine mOutput ui;
- unlike the default print this is not threadsafe/selfsynchronizing. Do not use outside of the main thread
Save this lua src into a *.lua file in ce's autorun directory
