say_fast()

Definition

INT say_fast ( <STRING message> )

Prints message to stdout (console).

This function is the same as the say() function, but with the difference that the debugging information isn’t flushed (buffered) into the standard output.

As you can see in the bennu source code mod_say.c, the difference is only 1 instruction, so it’s slightly faster.

• Similar to System.out.println(message) in Java.
• Similar to printf("%s\n",message) in C

Parameters

• STRING message - The message to print on to the console

Returns

INT - true

Example

// import modules
IMPORT "mod_say";
IMPORT "mod_debug";


GLOBAL

int count;

PROCESS main();

BEGIN

   say("hello world.");
   say("");
   say("");
   FOR (count=0; count<5000; count+=1)
      say_fast("count: "+count);
   END
END

This will result in the output on console:

Hello World!
