Using far or huge pointer, which is faster?

Brad Holeman

I have an array defined in RAM. The array is defined 40 bytes. I do interpolation on the array by passing the address of the array as a huge pointer to int to the interpolation function.

For the C167CS, which pointer is faster, the far pointer or the huge pointer?

    Brad,
    See the code comparisons in the C166 Compiler manual (section 3 page 80 in mine).
    Far and Huge use EXTP and EXTS op-codes respectively for extended addressing and have the same timing. It is the Xhuge model that really slows things down.
