使用以下方法:

g++ -O3 Time.cpp -I <MyBoost> . cfg . / a.o ut UseArray完成用时2.196秒 UseVector在4.412秒内完成 UseVectorPushBack在8.017秒内完成 全程用时14.626秒

数组的速度是向量的两倍。

但在更详细地查看代码后，这是预期的;当你遍历向量两次，只遍历数组一次时。注意:当你调整vector的size()时，你不仅是在分配内存，而且还在遍历vector并调用每个成员的构造函数。

稍微重新排列代码，使vector只初始化每个对象一次:

 std::vector<Pixel>  pixels(dimensions * dimensions, Pixel(255,0,0));

现在再做一次同样的计时:

g++ -O3 Time.cpp -I <MyBoost> . cfg . / a.o ut UseVector在2.216秒内完成

vector现在的性能只比数组差一点点。在我看来，这种差异是微不足道的，可能是由一大堆与测试无关的事情造成的。

我也会考虑到，你没有正确初始化/销毁像素对象在UseArrray()方法的构造函数/析构函数都没有被调用(这可能不是这个简单的类的问题，但任何稍微复杂(即指针或指针成员)将导致问题。

一些分析器数据(像素对齐为32位):

UseArray completed in 1.847 seconds
UseVectorPushBack completed in 9.186 seconds
The whole thing completed in 14.159 seconds

               :
               :        }

数组

               :void UseArray()
               :{ /* UseArray() total:  35191 13.1114 */
               :
...
               :
   136  0.0507 :        for (int i = 0; i < dimension * dimension; ++i) {
               :
  9897  3.6874 :            pixels[i].r = 255;
               :
  3511  1.3081 :            pixels[i].g = 0;
               :
 21647  8.0652 :            pixels[i].b = 0;

大部分开销都在复制构造函数中。例如,

    std::vector < Pixel > pixels;//(dimension * dimension, Pixel());

    pixels.reserve(dimension * dimension);

    for (int i = 0; i < dimension * dimension; ++i) {

        pixels[i].r = 255;

        pixels[i].g = 0;

        pixels[i].b = 0;
    }

它具有与数组相同的性能。

我不得不说我不是c++方面的专家。但要补充一些实验结果:

编译: gcc-6.2.0/bin/g++ -O3 -std=c++14 vector.cpp

机:

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz 

OS:

2.6.32-642.13.1.el6.x86_64

输出:

UseArray completed in 0.167821 seconds
UseVector completed in 0.134402 seconds
UseConstructor completed in 0.134806 seconds
UseFillConstructor completed in 1.00279 seconds
UseVectorPushBack completed in 6.6887 seconds
The whole thing completed in 8.12888 seconds

这里我唯一感到奇怪的是“UseFillConstructor”的性能与“UseConstructor”相比。

代码:

void UseConstructor()
{
    TestTimer t("UseConstructor");

    for(int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i)
    {
        int dimension = 999;

        std::vector<Pixel> pixels(dimension*dimension);
        for(int i = 0; i < dimension * dimension; ++i)
        {
            pixels[i].r = 255;
            pixels[i].g = 0;
            pixels[i].b = 0;
        }
    }
}


void UseFillConstructor()
{
    TestTimer t("UseFillConstructor");

    for(int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i)
    {
        int dimension = 999;

        std::vector<Pixel> pixels(dimension*dimension, Pixel(255,0,0));
    }
}

因此提供的额外“值”大大降低了性能，我认为这是由于多次调用复制构造函数造成的。但是…

编译:

gcc-6.2.0/bin/g++ -std=c++14 -O vector.cpp

输出:

UseArray completed in 1.02464 seconds
UseVector completed in 1.31056 seconds
UseConstructor completed in 1.47413 seconds
UseFillConstructor completed in 1.01555 seconds
UseVectorPushBack completed in 6.9597 seconds
The whole thing completed in 11.7851 seconds

因此，在这种情况下，gcc优化非常重要，但当一个值作为默认值提供时，它帮不了你太多。这，其实是对我的学费。希望它能帮助新程序员选择哪种矢量初始化格式。

好问题。我来这里是希望能找到一些简单的方法来加快矢量测试的速度。结果跟我想象的不太一样!

优化有帮助，但这还不够。通过优化，我仍然看到UseArray和UseVector之间的2X性能差异。有趣的是，UseVector明显比没有优化的UseVectorPushBack慢。

# g++ -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -o vector vector.cpp
# ./vector
UseArray completed in 20.68 seconds
UseVector completed in 120.509 seconds
UseVectorPushBack completed in 37.654 seconds
The whole thing completed in 178.845 seconds
# g++ -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -O3 -o vector vector.cpp
# ./vector

想法1 -使用new[]代替malloc

我尝试在UseArray中将malloc()更改为new[]，以便构造对象。从单个字段分配到分配一个Pixel实例。哦，重命名内循环变量为j。

void UseArray()
{
    TestTimer t("UseArray");

    for(int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i)
    {   
        int dimension = 999;

        // Same speed as malloc().
        Pixel * pixels = new Pixel[dimension * dimension];

        for(int j = 0 ; j < dimension * dimension; ++j)
            pixels[j] = Pixel(255, 0, 0);

        delete[] pixels;
    }
}

令人惊讶的是(对我来说)，这些变化没有任何不同。甚至没有更改为new[]，这将默认构造所有的像素。看起来gcc在使用new[]时可以优化默认构造函数调用，但在使用vector时就不行。

想法#2 -删除重复的操作符[]调用

我还尝试摆脱三重运算符[]查找，并缓存对像素[j]的引用。这实际上降低了UseVector的速度!哦。

for(int j = 0; j < dimension * dimension; ++j)
{
    // Slower than accessing pixels[j] three times.
    Pixel &pixel = pixels[j];
    pixel.r = 255;
    pixel.g = 0;
    pixel.b = 0;
}

# ./vector 
UseArray completed in 3.226 seconds
UseVector completed in 7.54 seconds
UseVectorPushBack completed in 9.859 seconds
The whole thing completed in 20.626 seconds

想法#3 -删除构造函数

如果完全删除构造函数呢?然后，也许gcc可以在创建向量时优化所有对象的结构。如果我们把像素改为:

struct Pixel
{
    unsigned char r, g, b;
};

结果:大约快10%。还是比数组慢。嗯。

# ./vector 
UseArray completed in 3.239 seconds
UseVector completed in 5.567 seconds

想法4 -使用迭代器而不是循环索引

如何使用vector<Pixel>::iterator代替循环索引?

for (std::vector<Pixel>::iterator j = pixels.begin(); j != pixels.end(); ++j)
{
    j->r = 255;
    j->g = 0;
    j->b = 0;
}

结果:

# ./vector 
UseArray completed in 3.264 seconds
UseVector completed in 5.443 seconds

没有什么不同。至少没有变慢。我认为这将具有类似于#2的性能，其中我使用了Pixel&引用。

结论

即使一些聪明的cookie找到了如何使vector循环和数组循环一样快的方法，这也不能说明std::vector的默认行为。编译器足够聪明，可以优化所有c++特性，并使STL容器像原始数组一样快。

底线是，当使用std::vector时，编译器无法优化掉无操作的默认构造函数调用。如果你使用普通的new[]，它就能很好地优化它们。但不是std::vector。即使你可以重写你的代码，以消除构造函数调用，在这里的咒语:“编译器比你聪明。STL和普通c一样快，不用担心。”

GNU's STL (and others), given vector<T>(n), default constructs a prototypal object T() - the compiler will optimise away the empty constructor - but then a copy of whatever garbage happened to be in the memory addresses now reserved for the object is taken by the STL's __uninitialized_fill_n_aux, which loops populating copies of that object as the default values in the vector. So, "my" STL is not looping constructing, but constructing then loop/copying. It's counter intuitive, but I should have remembered as I commented on a recent stackoverflow question about this very point: the construct/copy can be more efficient for reference counted objects etc..

So:

vector<T> x(n);

or

vector<T> x;
x.resize(n);

是-在许多STL实现中-类似于:

T temp;
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    x[i] = temp;

The issue being that the current generation of compiler optimisers don't seem to work from the insight that temp is uninitialised garbage, and fail to optimise out the loop and default copy constructor invocations. You could credibly argue that compilers absolutely shouldn't optimise this away, as a programmer writing the above has a reasonable expectation that all the objects will be identical after the loop, even if garbage (usual caveats about 'identical'/operator== vs memcmp/operator= etc apply). The compiler can't be expected to have any extra insight into the larger context of std::vector<> or the later usage of the data that would suggest this optimisation safe.

这可以与更明显的直接实现形成对比:

for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    x[i] = T();

我们可以期待一个编译器优化。

为了更明确地解释vector行为的这一方面，可以考虑:

std::vector<big_reference_counted_object> x(10000);

显然，如果我们创建10000个独立对象，而不是创建10000个引用相同数据的对象，这是一个很大的区别。有一种合理的观点认为，保护普通c++用户不意外地做一些如此昂贵的事情的好处超过了现实世界中难以优化的拷贝构造的非常小的成本。

原始答案(供参考/理解评论): 没有机会。Vector和数组一样快，至少如果你合理地保留空间. ...

顺便说一下，你在使用vector的类中看到的减速也发生在标准类型中，比如int。这是一个多线程代码:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <map>
#include <string>
#include <typeinfo>
#include <vector>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sstream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

//pthread_mutex_t map_mutex=PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;

long long num=500000000;
int procs=1;

struct iterate
{
    int id;
    int num;
    void * member;
    iterate(int a, int b, void *c) : id(a), num(b), member(c) {}
};

//fill out viterate and piterate
void * viterate(void * input)
{
    printf("am in viterate\n");
    iterate * info=static_cast<iterate *> (input);
    // reproduce member type
    vector<int> test= *static_cast<vector<int>*> (info->member);
    for (int i=info->id; i<test.size(); i+=info->num)
    {
        //printf("am in viterate loop\n");
        test[i];
    }
    pthread_exit(NULL);
}

void * piterate(void * input)
{
    printf("am in piterate\n");
    iterate * info=static_cast<iterate *> (input);;
    int * test=static_cast<int *> (info->member);
    for (int i=info->id; i<num; i+=info->num) {
        //printf("am in piterate loop\n");
        test[i];
    }
    pthread_exit(NULL);
}

int main()
{
    cout<<"producing vector of size "<<num<<endl;
    vector<int> vtest(num);
    cout<<"produced  a vector of size "<<vtest.size()<<endl;
    pthread_t thread[procs];

    iterate** it=new iterate*[procs];
    int ans;
    void *status;

    cout<<"begining to thread through the vector\n";
    for (int i=0; i<procs; i++) {
        it[i]=new iterate(i, procs, (void *) &vtest);
    //  ans=pthread_create(&thread[i],NULL,viterate, (void *) it[i]);
    }
    for (int i=0; i<procs; i++) {
        pthread_join(thread[i], &status);
    }
    cout<<"end of threading through the vector";
    //reuse the iterate structures

    cout<<"producing a pointer with size "<<num<<endl;
    int * pint=new int[num];
    cout<<"produced a pointer with size "<<num<<endl;

    cout<<"begining to thread through the pointer\n";
    for (int i=0; i<procs; i++) {
        it[i]->member=&pint;
        ans=pthread_create(&thread[i], NULL, piterate, (void*) it[i]);
    }
    for (int i=0; i<procs; i++) {
        pthread_join(thread[i], &status);
    }
    cout<<"end of threading through the pointer\n";

    //delete structure array for iterate
    for (int i=0; i<procs; i++) {
        delete it[i];
    }
    delete [] it;

    //delete pointer
    delete [] pint;

    cout<<"end of the program"<<endl;
    return 0;
}

代码中的行为表明vector的实例化是代码中最长的部分。一旦你通过瓶颈。其余的代码运行得非常快。无论在多少个线程上运行，这都是正确的。

顺便说一下，忽略那些疯狂的包含数。我一直在使用这段代码来测试一个项目的东西，所以包含的数量不断增长。
