Hook function arguments with const will increase performance?

Ghosted · **Author**

For example we hooked takedamage event with Ham:

PHP Code:


			
RegisterHam( Ham_TakeDamage , "player" , "Ham_TakeDamage_Pre" )



I) public Ham_TakeDamage_Pre( iVictimID , ... )

II) public Ham_TakeDamage_Pre( const iVictimID , const ... )

will this increase performance?

If it does it will be negligible. You shouldn't worry about trivial optimizations.

From 0.0000001 to 0.000002, maybe.

This is only for protect variable from change.

The value of a single variable cannot be modified unless you pass it by reference. Only arrays really need 'const' to protect it from being modified since they are passed by ref by default. I don't see why there would be a performance benefit.
