I have the following question. I tried assignment by value and by reference and, as indicated here, assigning the value of ba should be faster, although when I tried my code, it gave me pretty mixed results, because sometimes assign1 is faster, sometimes assign2.
class MyAddress{
char *name;
long int number;
char *street;
char *town;
char state[2];
long zip;
std::vector<int> v_int;
public:
MyAddress(int i){
v_int.resize(1000000);
std::fill(v_int.begin(),v_int.end(),i);
}
MyAddress& assign1(MyAddress const& x)
{
MyAddress tmp(x);
std::swap(*this, tmp);
return *this;
}
MyAddress& assign2(MyAddress x)
{
std::swap(*this, x);
return *this;
}
};
home:
for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
{
MyAddress a1(1);
MyAddress a2(2);
MyAddress a3(3);
clock_t tstart=std::clock();
a1.assign1(a2);
a1.assign1(a3);
clock_t tend=std::clock();
float time_elapsed=((float)tend-(float)tstart);
std::cout<<std::fixed<<"\nassign1 time elapsed : "<<time_elapsed/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
}
{
MyAddress a1(1);
MyAddress a2(2);
MyAddress a3(3);
clock_t tstart=std::clock();
a1.assign2(a2);
a1.assign2(a3);
clock_t tend=std::clock();
float time_elapsed=((float)tend-(float)tstart);
std::cout<<"\nassign2 time elapsed : "<<time_elapsed/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
}
std::cout<<std::endl;
}
