为什么std :: pair比std :: tuple更快

时间:2014-11-11 11:30:22

标签: performance c++11 std-pair stdtuple

以下是测试代码。

元组测试:

using namespace std;

int main(){

    vector<tuple<int,int>> v;


    for (int var = 0; var < 100000000; ++var) {
        v.push_back(make_tuple(var, var));
    }
}

配对测试:

#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main(){

    vector<pair<int,int>> v;


    for (int var = 0; var < 100000000; ++var) {
        v.push_back(make_pair(var, var));
    }
}

我通过Linux time命令进行了时间测量。 结果是:

|       |   -O0   |    -O2   |
|:------|:-------:|:--------:|
| Pair  |   8.9 s |  1.60 s  |
| Tuple |  19.8 s |  1.96 s  |

我想知道,为什么O0中这两个数据结构之间存在如此大的差异,因为它们应该非常相似。 02中只有一点不同。

为什么O0的差异如此之大,为什么会有任何差异呢?

编辑:

v.resize()

的代码

对:

#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main(){

    vector<pair<int,int>> v;

    v.resize(100000000);

    for (int var = 0; var < 100000000; ++var) {
        v[var] = make_pair(var, var);
    }
}

元组:

#include<tuple>
#include<vector>

using namespace std;

int main(){

    vector<tuple<int,int>> v;

    v.resize(100000000);

    for (int var = 0; var < 100000000; ++var) {
        v[var] = make_tuple(var, var);
    }
}

结果:

|       |   -O0   |    -O2   |
|:------|:-------:|:--------:|
| Pair  |  5.01 s |  0.77 s  |
| Tuple |  10.6 s |  0.87 s  |

您缺少一些重要信息:您使用什么编译器?你用什么来衡量微基准的性能?您使用什么标准库实现?

我的系统:

无论如何,我运行了你的例子,但是首先保留了向量的正确大小以消除内存分配开销。有了这个,我有趣地观察到相反的东西 - 与你看到的相反:

正如您所看到的,在我的情况下,原因是在前端和后端都有更多的停滞周期。

现在它来自哪里?我打赌它归结为一些失败的内联,类似于这里解释的:std::vector performance regression when enabling C++11

确实,启用-flto可以平衡我的结果:

所以请记住,-flto是你的朋友,失败的内联可能会在严格模板化的代码上产生极端结果。使用perf stat了解正在发生的事情。

答案 1 :(得分:36)

milianw没有解决-O0-O2的问题,因此我想为此添加解释。

优化时,完全可以预期std::tuple将慢于std::pair,因为它是更复杂的对象。一对只有两个成员,所以它的方法很容易定义。但是元组有任意数量的成员,迭代模板参数列表的唯一方法是使用递归。因此,元组的大多数函数处理一个成员然后递归以处理其余成员,因此对于2元组,你有两倍的函数调用。

现在,当进行优化时,编译器将内联递归,并且不应存在显着差异。哪些测试明确证实。这适用于一般的模板化程度很高的东西。可以编写模板来提供没有或只有非常少的运行时开销的抽象,但这依赖于优化来内联所有简单的函数。
