如何在分配期间分配当前抛出std :: bad_alloc错误的大量布尔数组?

我已经看到了几个与此相关的问题,但我想验证我遇到了类似的问题。我的代码分配了一个包含大量元素的布尔数组。这是我的代码,在x86_64 Linux机器上编译:

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>

using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::nothrow;

long problem3()
{
    long upper_bound = 600851475143;
    long max_prime_factor = 1;
    long max_possible_prime = (long) sqrt(upper_bound) + 1;
    bool * primes;
    primes = new (nothrow) bool[upper_bound];
    primes[0] = false; //segmentation fault occurs here
    primes[1] = false;
    for (long i = 2; i < upper_bound; i++)
       primes[i] = true;
    for (long number = 2; number < max_possible_prime; number++)
    {
        if (primes[number] == true)
        {
            if (upper_bound % number == 0)
            {
                max_prime_factor = number;
            }
            for (long j = number + number; j < upper_bound; j += number)
                primes[j] = false;
        }
        else { continue; }
    }
    return max_prime_factor;
}

int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
    cout<<"Problem 3: "<<problem3()<<endl;
}

构建此代码并按原样运行它会在此行上产生分段错误:

primes[0] = false

如果我删除nothrow指令以更改此行:

primes = new (nothrow) bool[upper_bound];

到此:

primes = new bool[upper_bound];

我收到一条错误消息:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'

我认为这意味着分配失败,可能是因为大小(基于similar questionsother referenced links

CodeBlocks中的调试器显示primes仍然设置为0x0,即使它应该被分配。 Valgrind证实了这一点:

问题:我知道std::vector,所以我应该用它来分配这个数组吗?我也愿意尝试不同的算法,但我想知道是否存在C ++的细微差别,我将缺少这将允许我分配这样的数组(即使它绝对是巨大的,我明白了)。我试图尽可能地调试这个问题,但如果还有其他我应该提供的,请告诉我,以便下次遇到麻烦时我可以使用这些工具。

一个非常简单的算法,你可以用来分解你正在使用的(大)数字是Pollard的Rho算法。

为了简洁起见,我将保留数学解释,但您可以在Wikipedia文章中找到详细信息。

unisgned long long GCD(unisgned long long x, unisgned long long y)
{
    while (y != 0)
    {
        unsigned long long t = b;
        b = a % b;
        a = t;
    }

    return a;
}

unsigned long long f(unsigned long long x, unsigned long long n)
{
    return (x * x + 1) % n;
}

unsigned long long PollardRho(unsigned long long n)
{
    unsigned long long x = 2, y = 2, d = 1;

    while (d == 1)
    {
        x = f(x);
        y = f(f(y));
        d = GCD(std::abs(x - y), n);
    }

    if (d == n)
        throw "Failure";
    return d;
}

unsigned long long MaxFactor(unsigned long long n)
{
    unsigned long long largest = 1;

    while (n != 1)
    {
        unsigned long long factor = PollardRho(n);
        largest = std::max(largest, factor);
        n /= factor;
    }

    return largest;
}

注意:我实际上没有测试C ++代码。我在Mathematica中对其进行了原型设计,它正确地将最大素数因子返回为6857

答案 1 :(得分:1)

使用std::vector<bool>std::bitset专门为此目的而设计数据密度和快速操作。在常规bool数组中,每个元素至少分配一个字节,而不是一个字节。

答案 2 :(得分:0)

假设600851475143是一个复合数,其最大素因子小于或等于sqrt(600851475143)或约775146。你的筛子不需要大于此。

这个问题(Project Euler#3)也可以通过简单的强制分解来解决。该方法在我的台式PC上只需要大约0.002秒。
