Source Code
I calculate the sum of a billion numbers generated by uniform_real_distribution
#include <iostream>
#include <random>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::mt19937;
using std::random_device;
using std::uniform_real_distribution;
int main()
{
random_device rd;
mt19937 gen(rd());
uniform_real_distribution<float> dis(-1, 1);
float result = 0;
for (unsigned i = 0; i < 1E9; ++i)
{
result += dis(gen);
}
cout << result << endl;
return 0;
}
Issue
When I compile the code with clang++ -O3 --std=c++11 main.cpp
, it works for a minute. When I compile with g++ -O3 --std=c++11 main.cpp
it works for 6 seconds. Also, I've used g++-5
and g++-6
, and got 3 seconds.
When I use -O1
optimization in g++
, it optimizes the code, and only without an optimization flag it produces the program, which takes almost two minutes to complete. Application produced with clang++
without an optimization works slightly faster than the one produced by g++
without optimization.
Question
Can I make the clang++
to optimize the code as good as g++
? Is the performance issue my fault, or clang++
's?
