Speed up by ignoring std::cout

Posted on by admin

Test Code

  1. #include <iostream>
  2.  
  3. int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  4. {
  5. 	//std::cout.setstate(std::ios_base::badbit);
  6. 	for(int i = 0; i < 100; i ++) {
  7. 		for(int i = 0; i < 100; i ++) {
  8. 			;//std::cout << "" << std::endl;
  9. 		}
  10. 	}
  11. 	return 0;
  12. }

Test it without std::cout

  1. root@imx6ul7d:~/tmp# time ./t1_1 
  2.  
  3. real    0m0.041s
  4. user    0m0.020s
  5. sys     0m0.000s

Test it with std::cout, but redirect to /dev/null

  1. root@imx6ul7d:~/tmp# time ./t1_0 > /dev/null
  2.  
  3. real    0m0.096s
  4. user    0m0.030s
  5. sys     0m0.030s

Test it with std::cout, but set io state

  1. root@imx6ul7d:~/tmp# time ./t1_2
  2.  
  3. real    0m0.061s
  4. user    0m0.040s
  5. sys     0m0.000s
