C++ 性能优化实战：从内存到 CPU 的执行效率提升

预分配内存减少碎片

对于 std::vector 等容器，如果不知道最终大小，频繁扩容会导致多次内存重新分配和拷贝，产生碎片。提前 reserve 可以显著减少这种情况。

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <chrono>

// 预分配内存避免内存碎片
void preallocateMemory() {
    const int size = 10000;
    std::vector<int> vec;
    vec.reserve(size); // 预分配内存
    for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
        vec.push_back(i);
    }
}

// 不预分配内存（可能导致内存碎片）
void notPreallocateMemory() {
    const int size = 10000;
    std::vector<int> vec;
    for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
        vec.push_back(i);
    }
}

int main() {
    std::cout << "=== 内存碎片优化示例 ===" << std::endl;
    
    auto start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    preallocateMemory();
    auto end = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    auto duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::microseconds>(end - start).count();
    std::cout << "预分配内存耗时：" << duration << "微秒" << std::endl;

    start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    notPreallocateMemory();
    end = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::microseconds>(end - start).count();
    std::cout << "不预分配内存耗时：" << duration << "微秒" << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

CPU 优化技巧

循环合并

减少遍历次数是提升 CPU 效率的有效手段。将多个循环合并为一个，可以减少分支预测失败和缓存未命中的概率。

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <chrono>

// 优化循环：合并操作
void optimizedLoop() {
    const int size = 10000;
    std::vector<int> vec1(size, 1);
    std::vector<int> vec2(size, 2);
    std::vector<int> result(size, 0);
    for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
        result[i] = vec1[i] + vec2[i];
    }
}

// 未优化的循环：多次遍历
void unoptimizedLoop() {
    const int size = 10000;
    std::vector<int> vec1(size, 1);
    std::vector<int> vec2(size, 2);
    std::vector<int> result(size, 0);
    for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
        result[i] = vec1[i];
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
        result[i] += vec2[i];
    }
}

int main() {
    std::cout << "=== 循环优化示例 ===" << std::endl;
    
    auto start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    optimizedLoop();
    auto end = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    auto duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::microseconds>(end - start).count();
    std::cout << "优化循环耗时：" << duration << "微秒" << std::endl;

    start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    unoptimizedLoop();
    end = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::microseconds>(end - start).count();
    std::cout << "未优化循环耗时：" << duration << "微秒" << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

内联函数

对于频繁调用且逻辑简单的函数，使用 inline 关键字可以避免函数调用的开销（如压栈、跳转）。编译器通常会直接展开代码。

#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>

// 优化函数：使用内联函数
inline int add(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

// 未优化的函数：普通函数调用
int addNotInline(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

// 测试函数调用开销
void testFunctionCallOverhead() {
    const int size = 1000000;
    int result = 0;
    
    auto start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
        result += add(i, i);
    }
    auto end = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    auto duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::microseconds>(end - start).count();
    std::cout << "内联函数调用耗时：" << duration << "微秒" << std::endl;

    start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
        result += addNotInline(i, i);
    }
    end = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::microseconds>(end - start).count();
    std::cout << "普通函数调用耗时：" << duration << "微秒" << std::endl;
}

int main() {
    std::cout << "=== 函数优化示例 ===" << std::endl;
    testFunctionCallOverhead();
    return 0;
}

I/O 操作优化

文件 I/O 加速

默认的文件流可能会与 C 标准库同步，这在大量数据写入时会产生额外开销。禁用同步并使用缓冲区控制可以显著提升速度。

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <chrono>

// 优化文件 I/O：禁用同步并控制缓冲区
void optimizedFileIO() {
    const std::string filename = "test.txt";
    const int size = 10000;
    std::ofstream file(filename);
    std::ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false); // 禁用与 C 标准库的同步
    for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
        file << i << std::endl;
    }
    file.close();
}

// 未优化的文件 I/O：使用默认设置
void unoptimizedFileIO() {
    const std::string filename = "test.txt";
    const int size = 10000;
    std::ofstream file(filename);
    // 默认开启同步，可能较慢
    for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
        file << i << std::endl;
    }
    file.close();
}

int main() {
    std::cout << "=== 文件 I/O 优化示例 ===" << std::endl;
    
    auto start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    optimizedFileIO();
    auto end = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    auto duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::microseconds>(end - start).count();
    std::cout << "优化文件 I/O 耗时：" << duration << "微秒" << std::endl;

    start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    unoptimizedFileIO();
    end = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::microseconds>(end - start).count();
    std::cout << "未优化文件 I/O 耗时：" << duration << "微秒" << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

网络 I/O 异步化

在网络编程中，阻塞式 I/O 会浪费线程资源。使用 Boost.Asio 等库进行异步操作，可以在等待网络响应时处理其他任务。

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/asio/ip/tcp.hpp>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <chrono>

using boost::asio::ip::tcp;
using namespace std;

// 优化网络 I/O：使用异步操作（简化版演示）
void optimizedNetworkIO() {
    try {
        boost::asio::io_service io_service;
        tcp::resolver resolver(io_service);
        tcp::resolver::query query("example.com", "http");
        tcp::resolver::iterator endpoint_iterator = resolver.resolve(query);
        tcp::socket socket(io_service);
        boost::asio::connect(socket, endpoint_iterator);
        
        string request = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
        request += "Host: example.com\r\n";
        request += "Connection: close\r\n\r\n";
        
        boost::asio::write(socket, boost::asio::buffer(request));
        boost::asio::streambuf response;
        boost::asio::read_until(socket, response, "\r\n");
        
        string status_line;
        istringstream response_stream(&response);
        response_stream >> status_line;
    } catch (const std::exception& e) {
        cerr << "错误：" << e.what() << endl;
    }
}

// 未优化的网络 I/O：使用同步操作
void unoptimizedNetworkIO() {
    try {
        boost::asio::io_service io_service;
        tcp::resolver resolver(io_service);
        tcp::resolver::query query("example.com", "http");
        tcp::resolver::iterator endpoint_iterator = resolver.resolve(query);
        tcp::socket socket(io_service);
        boost::asio::connect(socket, endpoint_iterator);
        
        string request = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
        request += "Host: example.com\r\n";
        request += "Connection: close\r\n\r\n";
        
        boost::asio::write(socket, boost::asio::buffer(request));
        string response;
        char buffer[1024];
        size_t len;
        while ((len = socket.read_some(boost::asio::buffer(buffer))) > 0) {
            response.append(buffer, len);
        }
    } catch (const std::exception& e) {
        cerr << "错误：" << e.what() << endl;
    }
}

int main() {
    std::cout << "=== 网络 I/O 优化示例 ===" << std::endl;
    
    auto start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    optimizedNetworkIO();
    auto end = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    auto duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(end - start).count();
    std::cout << "优化网络 I/O 耗时：" << duration << "毫秒" << std::endl;

    start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    unoptimizedNetworkIO();
    end = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(end - start).count();
    std::cout << "未优化网络 I/O 耗时：" << duration << "毫秒" << std::endl;

    return 0;
}
