Hi,
Just curious as I'm new to C++ coming from Java background. Is there a
difference in terms of performance if I used i++ instead of ++i in my
codes such as
for(int i=0; i<size; i++)
vs
for(int i=0; i<size; ++i)
I'm under the impression certain compilers like Visual C++ prefers ++i
as it does not create temporaries
( http://www.tantalon.com/pete/cppopt/final.htm).
Thanks in advance for any clarifications!
Regards,
Damon 3 1119

Probably not, with a built-in type. If the ++ operators are
members of a user defined type with a 'lengthy' construction
process, then the postfix form could be slower, due to the need
to create a temporary object to save the original value. In any
event, the only way to know for sure is to measure (and this
measurement can easily vary among implementations ).

I think you're taking the advice at that link out of context.
With a good optimizing compiler (VC++ imo qualifies in this context,
there should be no measurable performance difference between ++i and
i++ with a built-in type.
Thanks in advance for any clarifications!
A final word of advice: Don't worry about such micro-optimizations.
Write your code for clarity and maintainability . Only if you later
can prove that performance is an issue should you consider optimization.
And then, don't try to guess where to do it. Use a profiler.

Thanks Mike, I'll keep the advice in mind! Cheers!

There's absolutely no difference in performance if you use it on int or any
other of the built-in types. There might a difference if you try increment
operator on object of user defined class.
