Russell: GCC and C vs C++ Speed, MeasuredRussell: GCC and C vs C++ Speed, MeasuredPosted Mar 22, 2013 19:10 UTC (Fri) by nix (subscriber, #2304)In reply to: Russell: GCC and C vs C++ Speed, Measured by daney Parent article: Russell: GCC and C vs C++ Speed, Measured
I'm fairly sure (OK, certain) that actual C++ code has already landed in 4.8 (see e.g. gcc/hash_table.* on the 4.8 branch). That makes it a test of the abstraction penalty imposed on the optimizer by those classes (in effect, nil). (Admittedly, quite a lot of that is probably because of -fno-exceptions, which eliminates a huge bunch of abnormal edges that *would* otherwise impede optimization even of code that looks just like C code. I should do some tests with -fexceptions and see how much effect this actually has...)

The test was not with GCC 4.8, so it cannot be used to make assertions about Abstraction Penalties imposed by the GCC 4.8 code base.

Wasn't it?
... oh hell, it says as much right in the excerpt, and I misread it at least three times. Sigh. Brain failure. You're right, of course.
