I'm looking for someone who would be willing to convert some AHK/C code I have written for use in AHK_L's source.

I was recently working on Tics Gdip_ImageSearch function trying to make it faster (because I love doing that kind of thing) and I found that the built in AHK imagesearch code is super slow at imagesearch with variation. I found faster methods and wrote them in AHK and C compiled to work through the MCode function inside AHK.

The code I wrote based on Tics code is volumes faster at imagesearch with variation compared to the built in AHK one (100 MS vs 40 seconds) and I was wondering if anyone decent at C++ would be interested in converting the C/AHK code I have into C++ for use in AHK_L.

The majority of the Gdip_Imagesearch code I wrote is already very basic C so it shouldn't be hard to convert into C++.

The code can be found here: http://www.autohotke...pic.php?t=76261

Just follow the first post I made onward for a description of the changes I made - the last post I made contains the most recent version and optimizations I made to the code.


I tried doing the conversion myself but I'm no good at C++ and it would take me more time then I have. If someone is willing to do the conversion I can work with them to explain what the code does and so on. That person can also take the main credit for the code if they wanted to. All I ask for is something like "Based off Tics/Rseding91's Gdip_Imagesearch code". Please don't take this as "i'm to lazy so you do the work" - i'll try this myself eventually but i'm just to busy with work and school at the moment.


Thanks,
Robert

Sounds cool, but I'm afraid I don't know any C++.

C is actually compatible with C++ in almost all cases. See here for exceptions.

Looking at the current source, a refactoring would be nice anyway. Spliting up the whole pixel/image search into multiple methods, this would it make more easy to support more than one algorithm.

I've actually been working on this for the past few days and I have working AHK_L source code. So far everything i've tested works on the _L Unicode x86/x64 builds. I'm not sure how to generate the ANSI builds in visual studio but I have no reason to think the code would fail.

I am working on cleaning up the imagesearch function code (the parts I added and the old code) and then i'll post it here and PM it to Lexikos to see if he finds it acceptable.

It's best to fork the AHK_L repository on GitHub and push your code there for direct integration of the code in the main repository.

I'm not sure how to generate the ANSI builds in visual studio but I have no reason to think the code would fail.

Select one of the (mbcs) build configurations. I added a readme to github recently - it describes the various build configurations.
