Description

Description:

Measures how much time it takes to execute given expression. Results may vary based on overall performance; use this function to compare alternative scripting approaches rather than to measure specific values. In Arma 3, window with results is opened afterwards. NOTE: For best results restart your client before conducting tests. This function uses diag_tickTime which loses its precision the longer the client runs from restart.

(Environment: ArmA3 ver 1.14) Please always take advantage of the second and third parameters when running code on BIS_fnc_CodePerformance! It will be critical if parameters weren’t separated especially when reserved variables looped! E.g. ['for "_i" from 0 to 2 do {[{a = _this}] spawn {private "_code"; _code = [_this,0,{},[{}]] call bis_fnc_param;
{_x call _code; } forEach AllUnits;};};'] call bis_fnc_codeperformance; //There will be a great latency until GUI being displayed, never do like that, on the contrary, we should: ['{private "_code"; _code = [_this,0,{},[{}]] call bis_fnc_param; {_x call _code;} forEach AllUnits;}',[{a = _this}],3] call bis_fnc_codeperformance; //Separated all three parameters won’t have any problem.
