这似乎取决于编译器标志。下面是一个基准代码:

#include <chrono>
#include <cmath>
#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>


int main(){

    int size = 1000000; // reduce this number in case your program crashes
    int L = 10;

    std::cout << "size=" << size << " L=" << L << std::endl;
    {
        srand( time(0) );
        double * data = new double[size];
        double result = 0.;
        std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point start = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
        for( int l = 0; l < L; l++ ) {
            for( int i = 0; i < size; i++ ) data[i] = rand() % 100;
            for( int i = 0; i < size; i++ ) result += data[i] * data[i];
        }
        std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point end   = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
        auto duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::microseconds>(end - start).count();
        std::cout << "Calculation result is " << sqrt(result) << "\n";
        std::cout << "Duration of C style heap array:    " << duration << "ms\n";
        delete data;
    }

    {
        srand( 1 + time(0) );
        double data[size]; // technically, non-compliant with C++ standard.
        double result = 0.;
        std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point start = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
        for( int l = 0; l < L; l++ ) {
            for( int i = 0; i < size; i++ ) data[i] = rand() % 100;
            for( int i = 0; i < size; i++ ) result += data[i] * data[i];
        }
        std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point end   = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
        auto duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::microseconds>(end - start).count();
        std::cout << "Calculation result is " << sqrt(result) << "\n";
        std::cout << "Duration of C99 style stack array: " << duration << "ms\n";
    }

    {
        srand( 2 + time(0) );
        std::vector<double> data( size );
        double result = 0.;
        std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point start = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
        for( int l = 0; l < L; l++ ) {
            for( int i = 0; i < size; i++ ) data[i] = rand() % 100;
            for( int i = 0; i < size; i++ ) result += data[i] * data[i];
        }
        std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point end   = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
        auto duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::microseconds>(end - start).count();
        std::cout << "Calculation result is " << sqrt(result) << "\n";
        std::cout << "Duration of std::vector array:     " << duration << "ms\n";
    }

    return 0;
}

不同的优化标志给出不同的答案:

$ g++ -O0 benchmark.cpp 
$ ./a.out 
size=1000000 L=10
Calculation result is 181182
Duration of C style heap array:    118441ms
Calculation result is 181240
Duration of C99 style stack array: 104920ms
Calculation result is 181210
Duration of std::vector array:     124477ms
$g++ -O3 benchmark.cpp
$ ./a.out 
size=1000000 L=10
Calculation result is 181213
Duration of C style heap array:    107803ms
Calculation result is 181198
Duration of C99 style stack array: 87247ms
Calculation result is 181204
Duration of std::vector array:     89083ms
$ g++ -Ofast benchmark.cpp 
$ ./a.out 
size=1000000 L=10
Calculation result is 181164
Duration of C style heap array:    93530ms
Calculation result is 181179
Duration of C99 style stack array: 80620ms
Calculation result is 181191
Duration of std::vector array:     78830ms

您的确切结果会有所不同，但这在我的机器上是非常典型的。

尝试禁用检查迭代器并在发布模式下构建。您应该不会看到太大的性能差异。

向量类还调用Pixel构造函数。

每一种都会导致你在计时时运行近一百万次。

编辑:然后是外层…1000个循环，所以要做十亿次ctor调用!

编辑2:看到UseArray案例的分解会很有趣。优化器可以优化整个事情，因为它除了消耗CPU外没有其他效果。

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。

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。

好吧，因为vector::resize()比普通内存分配(由malloc)做更多的处理。

尝试在复制构造函数中设置断点(定义它以便可以设置断点!)，就会增加处理时间。
