@WalterBright I am still wondering why you would expect a performance increase by not caching instances? Faster lookups because the hash-table is smaller? Or less memory use because 'internal' instances...

That's fine. But if you are outputting textual asm. it's kindof a problem using the same name twice. Am Di., 6. Okt. 2020 um 10:13 Uhr schrieb Walter Bright <...

I don't think that's a good idea, it looks to much like it's going to spiral out of control and end up in uncrustify
