Я скомпилировал приведенный выше код:
Единственное изменение, которое я сделал, заключалось в том, чтобы сделать методы константными, так как параметр 'p' для acc () также был константой.
Когда я скомпилировал его (на macbook), используя g ++ 4.2.1 и -O3, я получил следующий код (это похоже на цикл в acc ()).
Не похоже, что он соединяется через таблицу поиска.
Это просто получить через регистр, который уже настроил vtable.
57 L9:
58 movq (%r12), %rax // Get the location of f() method address via the r12 register
59 movq %r12, %rdi // Set up rdi register as `this` (for after call)
60 call *(%rax) // Call the F() method. address is in memory pointed at by rax
61 addl %eax, %r14d
62 incl %ebx
63 cmpl %r13d, %ebx
64 jne L9
Если я удаляю виртуальные дескрипторы из строк, тот же код:
76 L16:
77 movq %r14, %rdi // Set up rdi register as `this` (for after call)
78 call __ZNK1A1fEv // Call the F() method.
79 addl %eax, %r13d
80 incl %ebx
81 cmpl %r12d, %ebx
82 jne L16
Таким образом, разница в приведенном выше коде действительно:
movq (%r12), %rax This is a register to register copy.
The cost of this is practically nothing and you could never
detect it. No matter how many times you called the function.
call *(%rax) Here we have to look up the address to call by getting it
from memory. Now this could be expensive.
But in reality is not. The first time this is called the
memory will be placed in an in-chip memory cache (if it is
not there you will get a processor stall while it is loaded
from memory (or the next cache up)) but after that it will
be really fast.
But it is not quite as fast as just calling the address (for
the non virtual version). But the difference is insignificant
and other factors in the code will drown out any gains or
just in pure noise of the measurements.
Итак, чтобы ответить на вопрос. Нет, адрес функции не кэшируется для повторного использования. Он просматривается каждый раз через цикл.
Источник, который был скомпилирован:
#include <iostream>
struct A { virtual int f() const { return 0; } };
struct B : A { virtual int f() const { return 1; }};
int acc(const A * p, unsigned int N)
{
int result = 0;
for (unsigned int i = 0; i != N; ++i)
result += p->f(); // #1
return result;
}
int main()
{
A a;
B b;
std::cout << acc(&a, 20) << "\n";
std::cout << acc(&b, 22) << "\n";
}
