Hello all,
First of all I am aware of the fact that my question is STL related.
However the comp.std.c++ group is moderated and I have no idea how long
it will take to be answered there. So, please, hold your fire.
And now the question:
Is there any special reason (performance, etc.) for using "(*i).second"
instead of "i->second"?
The example follows:
typedef std::map<...> table;
extern table t;
table::iterator i;
for (i=t.begin(); i!=t.end(); i++)
{
param = (*i).second;
...
}
Thanks. 13 1268

All C++ questions are welcome here, no fire to be expected.

No, most certainly not.
6-7 years ago, some were saying that (*i). may be more portable
that i-> , because of the inconsistency of some library
implementations - but this is history.
I see no rationale today for preferring (*i). over i->

No, just personal preference. The example follows:
typedef std::map<...> table;
extern table t; table::iterator i; for (i=t.begin(); i!=t.end(); i++)
But there is a performance hit here using post increment. Use ++i instead
whenever possible.

Ah, thanks, I too remembered hearing about it but not why, I've used the
-> form in all of my C++ code for many years with no problems.
Chris C But there is a performance hit here using post increment. Use ++i instead whenever possible.
I use pre increment when I want to make clear that post increment is not
what I need. And I don't think that the compiler will make any
diffderence in Release mode if I don't use the result.

Thank you. The example follows:

Isn't this a history? Jeff Flinn

No, this remains an issue by design: the post-increment operator
has to create and return a new instance of the iterator.
It is typically implemented in terms of the pre-increment:
{ MyIteratorType result(*this); ++this; return result; }
For some types of iterators, the cost of creating this new
instance (result) can be canceled after inlining, but this
is often not the case.

Of course this was actually: ++(*this)
Well, and what about basic types like "int"?
int i;
Is there any difference (performance) between:
i++;
and
++i;
Thanks.

Most compilers will optimize the temporary away for simple built-in types.
But why not be explicit in your coding? If you're not using the previous
value, don't refer to it in the first place.

So, in other words it is still preferred using ++i instead of i++.
Example:
for (int i=0; i<10; ++i)
{
}
Correct?
