Eine der ersten Evolutionsstufen war eine ziemlich elegant aussehende Ersetzung der inneren Schleife. Die Performance ist da zwar sicher noch nicht am Limit, jedoch ist der Code sehr übersichtlich und schon schneller als der vorhergehende ohne Inline-Assembler.

unsigned long mem0s(unsigned char *s, unsigned long l) {
        unsigned long r=0, i=0, j;
        unsigned char mem_read;

        while(i
                mem_read=~(s[i]);

                asm volatile (

                        "ctpop %1, %0 \n\t":

                        "=r"(mem_read): "r"(mem_read)
                );

                r+=mem_read;

                i += 1;
        }

        return r;
}

Ich persönlich finde sogar diese Version deutlich übersichtlicher als die vorige, von der Angabe gar nicht zu reden. Übersichtlichkeit ist bekannterweise fast das gleiche wie Wartbarkeit.

Dear Parts Center!

Sony Sales doesn't send to Europe but told me, that you might. I'm trying to hunt down a USB Cradle (UC55) for my Clie TH-55 for about 2 month now and hope that you can send me one of those.

Please tell me, what kind of further informations you need from me to get one of those.

My Sony Style Incident Number is XXXXX, if this matters to you.

By the way, I am from Austria and my phone number is XXXXX. Your form doesn't support longer numbers...

Thank you // Rene C. Kiesler!

Thank you for your answer.

How exactly would you suggest that I get such a device? It's sold out in whole of europe, I don't know any one in US and there doesn't seem to be any shop left which would have it and send it as well.

Sony America has it but doesn't ship outside US. Sony Japan has it but doesn't ship outside Japan.

I'm clueless, please help!

...womit wir wieder am Anfang wären, auf sony.net gibt's nämlich schlicht einen Link auf Sony Österreich und das DAPC versendet nicht außerhalb Amerikas...
