POPCNT, don't think it's our bottleneck if I'm omitting that

No difference for left shift. Right is arithmetic because it copies MSB instead of filling in zeros.

Done. Did you know that in avs+ the hex string was in lowercase?

Done. -1 bug was not present, probably the fix was pulled from classic avs

ReplaceStr exists already in avs+, and I was just about adding a 'case insensitive' parameter. Probably I'll keep your parameter naming.

I'll look at the rest later.

Yep, PopCnt looks familiar.

Yep, I sort of remembered that, but not sure, long since I've done Z80, M68K assembler.

Yeh, think I remember that avs uses lower case, I dont like that and would almost always output uppercase (personal prefs).
[EDIT: Almost obligatory to use uppercase for hex on M68K machines]

I have been working on some AVS+ enhancement routines for months without promoting it.
http://avisynth.nl/images/Utils-r41.avsi

The more useful ones (they're essential, to me anyway) are listed below.

The single most useful function (if I had to pick one) is MatchColorFormat - match color format to a template clip.
Use this before splicing or stacking two clips when you're not sure of their current color formats.
Code:
### MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS 

    ### return true if running in Avisynth+, false otherwise
    #@ function IsAvsPlus()

    ### return AVS+ build number, if present; else 0
    #@ function VersionBuildNumber()

    ### return basic clip properties as a string
    ## Example | Assert(false, InfoString) ## show info about current Last variable
    #@ function InfoString(val C, string "label")

### STRING FUNCTIONS 

    ### count the number of line breaks (for multi-line Subtitle(align=1|2|3) 
    #@ function CountLines(string s, bool "lsp") 

    ### Split long lines for [[Subtitle]] line wrap
    #@ function SplitLines(string s, int "lastcol", bool "reflow")

    ### trim spaces from both ends of string
    #@ function Trim(string s) 

    ### trim spaces from left end of string
    #@ function TrimLeft(string s) 

    ### Get part of a full path to right of last '\'
    #@ function GetNameFromPath(string path)

    ### Get part of a full path to left of last '\'
    #@ function GetParentFolder(string path)

    ### format seconds as hh:mm:ss.ddd
    #@ function FormatTime(float fsec, int "decimals")

    ### format hours/minutes/seconds as hh:mm:ss.ddd
    #@ function FormatTime(int t_hours, int t_mins, float t_secs, int "decimals")

    ### for bits==32, return "S", else return String(bits)
    #@ function BitsToPixelType(int bits)

### NUMERIC FUNCTIONS 

    ### return argument 'f' as integer and ensure it is modulo 'm'
    #@ function modx(int m, float f, int "dir")

    ### Hex() with leading "0" if less than 2 chars long
    #@ function Hex2(int i)

    ### scale [[ColorYUV]]'s 'gain_x', 'gamma_x' & 'cont_x'  
    ### to more intuitive values (like [[Tweak]]'s) 
    #@ function f2c(float f)

    ### calculate new width, given height, for preserving aspect ratio
    #@ function CalcWidth(clip C, float fhgt, int "mod", int "lim")

    ### calculate new height, given width, for preserving aspect ratio
    #@ function CalcHeight(clip C, float fwid, int "mod", int "lim")

### DEEP COLOR ARGUMENT SCALING FUNCTIONS 

    ### scale an 8-bit value for target clip 'T'
    #@ function sc8f(clip T, float f, bool "cx")

    ### scale an 8-bit value for target clip 'T'; clamp output
    #@ function sc8x(clip T, float f)

    ### scale an 8-bit value for target clip 'T'; string result
    #@ function sc8s(clip T, float f, int "decimals")

Presumably in honour of my plugin ShowChannels

EDIT: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...t=ShowChannels

ShowChannels:-
Code:
Typical output for a YUV clip:-
---------------------------

347 ] Frames Visited = 348

          This Frame           Accumulated
       Y     U      V        Y     U      V
 Ave  77.00 125.52 125.42   70.91 125.87 125.78
 Min   4     80     95       0     69     83
 Max 255    177    165     255    190    174
~Min  14     95    101      12     92    101
~Max 234    167    148     235    167    151

---------------------------

where
 'AVE' shows average for current frame and accumulated average for all visited frames.

 'MIN' shows minimum value for a channel, this frame and accumulated.

 'MAX' shows maximum value for a channel, this frame and accumulated.

 '~MIN' shows loose minimum value for a channel, this frame and accumulated.

 '~MAX' shows loose maximum value for a channel, this frame and accumulated.

Loose minimum uses the filter arg float MinPerc, a percentage of total pixels to ignore
when finding the loose minimum, allows to ignore extreme stray pixels (noise).

Loose maximum uses the filter arg float MaxPerc, a percentage of total pixels to ignore
when finding the loose maximum, allows to ignore extreme stray pixels (noise).

The "loose" values are made to filter out very bright
or very dark noise creating an artificially low or high minimum / maximum.

The Accumulated Ave is a "Average of Averages", or "Average Mean" or "Mean Average", take your pick but accumulated seemed more appropriate
considering that it was not restricted to describing just the averages. Accumulated Min is the minimum of all minimums so far, etc.

Really nice collection.

Note#1
Why do you need to ##HACK in function GBR2YUV(clip C, bool "yuva")? Packed RGB is upside down (unlike planar RGB), but you are flipping not all the three 'planes', why?

Note#2
In restore_gamma (and where luts are used) you can use the Expr function for 32bit float case. Single 8-16bit lut is faster now with mt_lut, but for 32bit float would help (rare use case nowadays). In general I recommend using scalef and scaleb instead of @F @B, Expr supports only the word ones.
Another comment: 255 @F (255 scalef) is better written as 'range_max'

I'm planning to make Expr to automatically recognise fast (8-16 bit mt_lut and 8 bit mt_lutxy-like) cases and automatically turn them into real LUT working mode).

Note#others.. later, too much new stuff for today

Sorry for interrupting but can somebody tell me why Prefetch does not like my subtitle rendering script on YUV420P10? Image flashes and eventually script crashes my player (MPC-HC).
If I remove video=Prefetch(video,8) then everything is ok.

Would you consider providing a CHM documentation for a recent AviSynth+ state again if collecting all the differences to AviSynth 2.60 doesn't mean too much efforts?

Thanks, good report. For me it crashed after 41-42 seconds: 6399, 6319, 6369 are the frame numbers that avsmeter64 is showing before the crash.
When using Trim(5000,..) the crash occurs at around frame 1400.
I suspect something in the subtitle text around that spot.

EDIT: debugging in avs+ (arrrgh, perhaps because the debug build is slower, it was the 5th run until it gave error, unlike the release build which crashed 100%)

It stopped at
frame = ChildFilters[env2->GetProperty(AEP_THREAD_ID)]->GetFrame(n, env);
with message: Exception thrown at 0x00007FFCBBB6C909 (VSFilter.dll) in AVSMeter64.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x0000000000000000. occurred

Script won't crash if we use SetFilterMTMode("TextSub",MT_SERIALIZED) but this still does not fix flashing (frame corruption) of the whole frame.
It is more noticeable if you put real video instead of BlankClip

Does it have a source? Searched on it and there is VsFilter, xy-vsfilter, etc.. I'm not familiar with them.

Thanks a lot, pinterf.
#1 Marked HACK, because not tested thoroughly.
#2 Masktools stuff not updated to use Expr yet, will fix.
Will start a new thread on this (soon) to avoid yet more hijacking of the current thread...

The up-to-date documentation for Avisynth and Avisynth+ is here which even highlights functionality differences between the two (see example here) thanks to raffriff42 spending countless hours editing the pages.

There's probably a way to cram all that into an offline thingy, be it CHM or plain HTML although I prefer the online version since it always has the latest changes.

Huh, it comes with a 2.5x avisynth header, and compiled to x64? Not a life insurance.
EDIT: I mean xy-vsfilter. Not an easy thing to recompile. Cannot find afx.h. One of the uglyest message a machine can say.

I might need a few months to mentally prepare for the task.

Raff, did you see my prev post ? (#3944)

Yes, there is a 2.5 header floating around. I think it originates from SEt's (JoshyD's?) 2.5.8 x64 version.

Wow, MFC. It uses CString (and probably some other MFC stuff)!

There's probably a way to cram all that into an offline thingy, be it CHM or plain HTML although I prefer the online version since it always has the latest changes.

I migrated AviSynth+'s documentation to Sphinx a few years ago, although the distinct changes or comparison pages that got into the Wiki haven't been added. It's up-to-date with the 2.6 HTML documentation, at least. The instructions to build the docs exist on the MT branch's README.md file.

The benefit of moving the docs to Sphinx is that it can be easily edited (the source files are now virtually plain-text) and once rendered, it's searchable.

Basically, whatever benefit CHM docs provide, I'm confident that Sphinx is superior to it in virtually every way. You can output to HTML, PDF, ePub, latex, and several other formats (I only did testing with HTML, though, so the nice formatting of the HTML output isn't guaranteed or even there for any of the others).
