An appeal:

When submitting sample scripts (or editing existing samples) PLEASE ensure you've tested the resulting script. There can be no excuse for blindly editing and not testing, and certainly no excuse for submitting scripts that won't even compile! Omei Qunhua 09:02, 9 December 2012 (PST)

I wholeheartedly agree. I have been guilty of the sin but I agree. lslint and lsleditor are our friends. I noticed you mentioned that some edits have been breaking examples. If that happens, please make a note of it somewhere, we need to keep track of this so we can halt any negative trends. -- Strife ^{(talk|contribs)} 08:34, 14 December 2012 (PST)

Well if you want to observe a negative trend, the following Wiki pages / examples were all corrupted by the same person :)

I have take a look at all his changeings in the example scripts and do not agree with the most, Everywhere he remove inside the sub-if's the clamps and resort the events. The most of the experienced scripters do not realy read it, but for beginners i think its bad when they not see where are the clamps necessary and where not.

More size constructs

I've confirmed your results and made a few more tests of size optimization constructs.

x=-~x;               6 bytes (equivalent to ++x)
x=~-x;               6 bytes (equivalent to --x)
y=-~x;               6 bytes (equivalent to y=x+1)
if(~x);              7 bytes (equivalent to if(x!=-1))
x*2;                 8 bytes (equivalent to x<<1)
x=-~-~x;             8 bytes (equivalent to x+=2)
x=~-~-x;             8 bytes (equivalent to x-=2)
y=x+1;              10 bytes
x=x*2;              10 bytes (equivalent to x=x<<1)
x*=2;               10 bytes
if (!~x);           10 bytes (equivalent to if(x==-1))
if(x&0x80000000)    12 bytes (equivalent to if(x<0) for integers)
if(x<0);            13 bytes
x=x<<1;             14 bytes
if(x!=-1);          17 bytes

For float x:

x=0;                 9 bytes
x=0.0;              12 bytes

For vector x:

x=<0, 0, 0>;        27 bytes
x=<0.0, 0.0, 0.0>;  36 bytes
x=ZERO_VECTOR;      36 bytes

for list x:

llGetListLength(x); 40 bytes
x!=[];              13 bytes (note: only list LENGTH is compared - actually subtracted. That returns 0 for empty list.)
x==[];              13 bytes
if(x==[]);          17 bytes
if(x!=[]);          17 bytes
x!=[""];            23 bytes (note: only list LENGTH is compared - actually subtracted. That returns -1 for empty list.)
x==[""];            23 bytes (true if x has 1 element)
x!=[[]];            23 bytes (list may not contain lists but this is allowed?!?!)
x==[[]];            23 bytes
if(x==[""]);        27 bytes
x!=[1];             28 bytes (true if x has 1 element)
if(x==["","",""]);  47 bytes
if(x!=["","",""]);  47 bytes
if(llGetListLengt(x)==1);  53 bytes
if(llGetListLengt(x)!=1);  56 bytes
if(x==["","","",""]);      57 bytes

Some of those may be worth being included in LSL Hacks, which I'd say is the place for code size optimization. Your list results are run time size related and thus worth being included as an update to LSL Script Memory. --Pedro Oval 09:35, 29 December 2012 (PST)
