我想找到最快的方法来检查一个文件是否存在于标准c++ 11, 14, 17,或C。我有成千上万的文件,在对它们做一些事情之前,我需要检查它们是否都存在。在下面的函数中,我可以写什么来代替/* SOMETHING */ ?

inline bool exist(const std::string& name)
{
    /* SOMETHING */
}

当前回答

我使用这段代码,到目前为止,它工作得很好。它没有使用c++的许多奇特的特性:

bool is_file_exist(const char *fileName)
{
    std::ifstream infile(fileName);
    return infile.good();
}

其他回答

我编写了一个测试程序,每个方法都运行了10万次,一半在存在的文件上,一半在不存在的文件上。

#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

inline bool exists_test0 (const std::string& name) {
    ifstream f(name.c_str());
    return f.good();
}

inline bool exists_test1 (const std::string& name) {
    if (FILE *file = fopen(name.c_str(), "r")) {
        fclose(file);
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }   
}

inline bool exists_test2 (const std::string& name) {
    return ( access( name.c_str(), F_OK ) != -1 );
}

inline bool exists_test3 (const std::string& name) {
  struct stat buffer;   
  return (stat (name.c_str(), &buffer) == 0); 
}

在5次运行中平均运行100,000个调用的总时间结果,

Method Time
exists_test0 (ifstream) 0.485s
exists_test1 (FILE fopen) 0.302s
exists_test2 (posix access()) 0.202s
exists_test3 (posix stat()) 0.134s

stat()函数在我的系统(Linux,用g++编译)上提供了最好的性能,如果您出于某种原因拒绝使用POSIX函数,那么标准的fopen调用是您最好的选择。

It depends on where the files reside. For instance, if they are all supposed to be in the same directory, you can read all the directory entries into a hash table and then check all the names against the hash table. This might be faster on some systems than checking each file individually. The fastest way to check each file individually depends on your system ... if you're writing ANSI C, the fastest way is fopen because it's the only way (a file might exist but not be openable, but you probably really want openable if you need to "do something on it"). C++, POSIX, Windows all offer additional options.

While I'm at it, let me point out some problems with your question. You say that you want the fastest way, and that you have thousands of files, but then you ask for the code for a function to test a single file (and that function is only valid in C++, not C). This contradicts your requirements by making an assumption about the solution ... a case of the XY problem. You also say "in standard c++11(or)c++(or)c" ... which are all different, and this also is inconsistent with your requirement for speed ... the fastest solution would involve tailoring the code to the target system. The inconsistency in the question is highlighted by the fact that you accepted an answer that gives solutions that are system-dependent and are not standard C or C++.

windows下还有3个选项:

1

inline bool exist(const std::string& name)
{
    OFSTRUCT of_struct;
    return OpenFile(name.c_str(), &of_struct, OF_EXIST) != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE && of_struct.nErrCode == 0;
}

2

inline bool exist(const std::string& name)
{
    HANDLE hFile = CreateFile(name.c_str(), GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
    if (hFile != NULL && hFile != INVALID_HANDLE)
    {
         CloseFile(hFile);
         return true;
    }
    return false;
}

3

inline bool exist(const std::string& name)
{
    return GetFileAttributes(name.c_str()) != INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES;
}

这里有一个简单的例子!

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
    
void main(){
   SearchFile("test.txt");
}

bool SearchFile(const char *file)
{
   ifstream infile(file);
   if (!infile.good())
   {
    // If file is not there
    exit(1);
   }
}

我使用这段代码,到目前为止,它工作得很好。它没有使用c++的许多奇特的特性:

bool is_file_exist(const char *fileName)
{
    std::ifstream infile(fileName);
    return infile.good();
}
