Thanks Damir - you do a very nice job with SugaR. Don't be surprised if you see a touch of SugaR in McB

Damir?

I'm sorry Marco - I just assumed it was Damir sine he was the OP. So please redirect all my comments from Damir to you!

The link below is for the macOS exe's link - both clang and gcc compiled versions ( gcc is generally faster, clang usually works on more Macs since clang is the default compiled for macOS). Includes updated source since Macs do not use large pages or windows.h. My guess it will compile on Linux as well. SugaR is the fastest SF variant - benching over 2M nps on my machine.

Total time (ms) : 4299

Clang version is also over 2M nps on my machine, so it's just marginally slower.
Edit: Fastest on my machine - there is no asmfish for macOS as far as I know.

Thanks!

Sorry about the confusion my post might have done to some people here.
I just posted the link of the engine, like I did many times before. I have never said I was the inventor. In fact I mentioned that Marco was Sugar author serveral times. People should learn how to read before jumping to conclussions.

We much appreciate you posting under your own name and not as a Barack Obama clone with large ears. Great improvement. I just independantly came up with a name your own engine Damir, inspired by my kitchen block: Damir Desevac's Deep Drawer Plays like Giri.

As I already mentioned in my previous Sugar post. If You want to load previous and future versions of Sugar, please visit Marco's website.

Thanks for naming your engine after me. But I prefer Rainbow Serpent though.

You did nothing wrong - it was my bad.
