在引入右值引用,转移构造函数,转移复制运算符之前,通常使用push_back()向容器中加入一个右值元素(临时对象)的时候,首先会调用构造函数构造这个临时对象,然后需要调用拷贝构造函数将这个临时对象放入容器中。原来的临时变量释放。这样造成的问题是临时变量申请的资源就浪费。
c++11引入了右值引用,转移构造函数(请看这里)后,push_back()右值时就会调用构造函数和转移构造函数。
在这上面有进一步优化的空间就是使用emplace_back
emplace_back 在容器尾部添加一个元素,这个元素原地构造,不需要触发拷贝构造和转移构造。而且调用形式更加简洁,直接根据参数初始化临时对象的成员。 emplace_back
避免push_back
使用时所需的额外副本或移动操作
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
struct President
{
std::string name;
std::string country;
int year;
President(std::string p_name, std::string p_country, int p_year)
: name(std::move(p_name)), country(std::move(p_country)), year(p_year)
{
std::cout << "I am being constructed.
";
}
President(President&& other)
: name(std::move(other.name)), country(std::move(other.country)), year(other.year)
{
std::cout << "I am being moved.
";
}
President& operator=(const President& other) = default;
};
int main()
{
std::vector<President> elections;
std::cout << "emplace_back:
";
elections.emplace_back("Nelson Mandela", "South Africa", 1994);
std::vector<President> reElections;
std::cout << "
push_back:
";
reElections.push_back(President("Franklin Delano Roosevelt", "the USA", 1936));
std::cout << "
Contents:
";
for (President const& president: elections) {
std::cout << president.name << " was elected president of "
<< president.country << " in " << president.year << ".
";
}
for (President const& president: reElections) {
std::cout << president.name << " was re-elected president of "
<< president.country << " in " << president.year << ".
";
}
}
Output:
emplace_back:
I am being constructed.
push_back:
I am being constructed.
I am being moved.
