A guide to optimizing C++

[crosswire]

@icymint, for those lines, I was going for one point : "The organization of the assembly instructions done by auto-optimization will not necessary work out. As opposed to writting, line by line, each c++ code in an organized way. But it should be the other way around : "Auto-Optimization works better with heavily packed lines of C++ code." So I am going to change my point to "save the the pointer in a long chain of pointers as opposed to writting many lines that use the long chain of pointers". I saw the latter on this site http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/C___C...timization.asp

I was also wrong about the short circuit of C++, so I am going to change that point to saying that "You should order your condition by there probality, starting with the most likely to occur condition on the left (assuming that C++ evaluates the conditions from right to left) thus the first condition that is evaluated will be the one with the least probality to occur and your code has a quicker time when breaking, unless the evaluation takes longer thant evaluating the other conditions" I have to post examples on it as well as all the others. Short circuiting is found on the link as well

Thanks for the correction guys.

I will clean up the points stuff that have no basis to stand on. Alot of that was present
