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 */
}

还有一个更简单的方法
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
void FileExists(std::string myfile){
std::ifstream file(myfile.c_str());
if (file) {
std::cout << "file exists" << std::endl;
}
else {
std::cout << "file doesn't exist" << std::endl;
}
}
int main() {
FileExists("myfile.txt");
return 0;
}

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++.
我需要一个快速的函数，可以检查一个文件是否存在，PherricOxide的答案几乎是我所需要的，除了它没有比较boost::filesystem::exists和open函数的性能。从基准测试结果中，我们可以很容易地看到:
使用stat函数是检查文件是否存在的最快方法。注意，我的结果与PherricOxide的答案是一致的。 boost::filesystem::exists函数的性能与stat函数非常接近，并且具有可移植性。如果boost库可以从代码中访问，我会推荐这个解决方案。
在Linux内核4.17.0和gcc-7.3上获得的基准测试结果:

你可以使用std::ifstream，函数如is_open, fail，例如下面的代码(cout“open”表示文件是否存在):
引自以下答案
只有一种更快的方法来检查文件是否存在，如果你有权限读取它，这种方法是使用C语言，希望更快，也可以在c++的任何版本中使用
解决方案:在C语言中有一个errno.h库，它有一个外部(全局)整数变量errno，它包含一个可以用来识别错误类型的数字
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <errno.h>
bool isFileExist(char fileName[]) {
FILE *fp = fopen(fileName, "r");
if (fp) {
fclose(fp);
return true;
}
return errno != ENOENT;
}
bool isFileCanBeRead(char fileName[]) {
FILE *fp = fopen(fileName, "r");
if (fp) {
fclose(fp);
return true;
}
return errno != ENOENT && errno != EPERM;
}
你也可以使用bool b = std::ifstream('filename').good();。如果没有分支指令(比如if)，它必须执行得更快，因为它需要被调用数千次。
