Eliminating Seperate Function in While Loop

**sean** · 07-01-2004, 07:33 AM

This problem would probably have the same solution in all the "C" languages, but the code is C# so I posted here just in case there is a difference.

For my server program, I've written all the code, except for a few additional features (but the basics are there), and now I'm going through and just simplifying the code as much as possible. I've reduced a 12kb file into 39 lines of code. I could take that down even futher if I could figure out a way to do this. Right now, all the code for processing HTTP requests once they are recieved is handled by a single function, which makes separating HTTP from FTP very easy. The only problem is that in my HTTP code I have something like this:

Code:

while(mymethod() == true)
{
    // Execute all this code
}

Now mymethod() has several lines of code, so I can't really just place the statement on code in the loop, but just for the sake of having things kept in one method, I'd really like to eliminate the need to call a method outside of this one. Any ideas?

could you post some of your surrounding code to help give context?

Is there a point to this compression of the source code?
Because you seem to have gone past simplification and into obfuscation.

Contest perhaps? But yeah seeing additional code would make it a lot easier.

I actually figured out a way to do it this morning. It's not so much compressing the code, but removing everything unnecessary.

Geez. From 12kb to 39 lines is removing unnecessary code? You should go do that to SharpDevelop. Maybe it'd speed up to usable.
