[英]How efficient is storing data within an object in a vector in C++?
I'm making a small virtual machine; 我正在制作一个小型虚拟机; in my virtual machine I read instructions from a binary file.
在我的虚拟机中,我从二进制文件中读取指令。 Each instruction is 1 byte in size.
每条指令的大小为1个字节。 When the VM starts, it loads the binary file into a vector.
VM启动时,它将二进制文件加载到向量中。 Then I use a switch and a for loop to execute the instructions.
然后,使用开关和for循环执行指令。
But here's where my question starts. 但是,这是我的问题开始的地方。 I have a vector called "Stack";
我有一个称为“堆栈”的向量; it's my virtual machines stack for the program that's running.
这是我正在运行的程序的虚拟机堆栈。 The problem is I want to store different kinds of data in the vector (Signed and Unsigned Integers, Strings, etc ...).
问题是我想在向量中存储不同种类的数据(有符号和无符号整数,字符串等)。
To do this I created my own object (robj) and made the vector of type "robj". 为此,我创建了自己的对象(robj),并创建了类型为“ robj”的向量。 This lets me store the kind of data I want, but my question is: is this wasteful?
这使我可以存储所需的数据类型,但是我的问题是:这很浪费吗?
Here's the implementation of my object: 这是我的对象的实现:
class robj {
public:
int signed_int = 0;
unsigned int unsigned_int = 0;
};
As you can see, my object is really small at the moment, but it will get larger as I add things like strings. 如您所见,我的对象目前确实很小,但是当我添加字符串之类的对象时,它会变得更大。 The part that I think is wasteful is that, if I store a signed integer on the stack I also have to store an unsigned one because the object defines both types of integers.
我认为浪费的部分是,如果我将有符号整数存储在堆栈中,我还必须存储无符号整数,因为该对象定义了两种类型的整数。 And this problem will only get worse as I make the object bigger.
随着我把对象变大,这个问题只会变得更糟。
So I'd just like to know, is there a less wasteful way to do this? 因此,我想知道,是否有一种不那么浪费的方法?
This is what Boost.Variant is for. 这就是Boost.Variant的目的。 It implements discriminated unions so you don't have to:
它实现了有区别的工会,因此您不必:
std::vector<boost::variant<
int,
unsigned int
>> v;
There can be 2 solutions 可以有2个解决方案
union robj { int signed_int; unsigned int unsigned int; };
class type_base { type_data my_type; public: type_base(const type_data &t) : my_type(t) {} virtual parse_data() = 0; virtual serialize_data() = 0; virtual type_data get_type() { return my_type; } virtual type_base *clone() = 0; }; class signed_int : public type_base { public: int signed_int; };
You can also templatize your type where the template inherits from type_base. 您还可以在模板从type_base继承的地方对类型进行模板化。
Make sure that you never make a vector of type_base which can cause object slicing. 确保永远不要创建会导致对象切片的type_base向量。 Thanks to Alain for his comment
