Gas Optimizations

[code423n4]

Use custom errors

Solidity ^0.8.4 allow the use of custom errors to optimize gas usage. https://blog.soliditylang.org/2021/04/21/custom-errors/

> 0 is less efficient than != 0 for uint in require condition

For loop optimization

Instead of

for (uint256 i = 1; i <= something; ++i){...}

we can do

for (uint256 i = 1; i <= something; ){...unchecked{++i;}}

Float multiplication optimization

We can use the following function to save gas on float multiplications

// out = x * y unchecked{/} z
function fmul(uint256 x, uint256 y, uint256 z) internal pure returns(uint256 out){
assembly{
 if iszero(eq(div(mul(x,y),x),y)) {revert(0,0)}
 out := div(mul(x,y),z)
}
}

Variables can be set immutable

Unchecked safe math

        unchecked{
            uint256 fullDaysLate = (((currentTime_ - nextPaymentDueDate_ - 1) / 1 days) + 1) * 1 days;
        }
