我在c++ vs c#中插入代码的一个领域是创建到SQL Server的数据库连接并返回结果集。我比较了c++ (ODBC上的薄层)和c# (ADO。NET SqlClient)，并发现c++比c#代码快50%左右。ADO。NET被认为是处理数据库的低级接口。你可能会发现更大的差异是内存消耗而不是原始速度。

使c++代码更快的另一件事是，你可以在粒度级别上调优编译器选项，以一种在c#中无法做到的方式进行优化。

We have had to determine if C# was comparable to C++ in performance and I wrote some test programs for that (using Visual Studio 2005 for both languages). It turned out that without garbage collection and only considering the language (not the framework) C# has basically the same performance as C++. Memory allocation is way faster in C# than in C++ and C# has a slight edge in determinism when data sizes are increased beyond cache line boundaries. However, all of this had eventually to be paid for and there is a huge cost in the form of non-deterministic performance hits for C# due to garbage collection.

受此启发，我做了一个快速测试，使用了大多数程序所需的60%的通用指令。

下面是c#代码:

for (int i=0; i<1000; i++)
{
    StreamReader str = new StreamReader("file.csv");
    StreamWriter stw = new StreamWriter("examp.csv");
    string strL = "";
    while((strL = str.ReadLine()) != null)
    {
        ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
        string[] strline = strL.Split(',');
        al.AddRange(strline);
        foreach(string str1 in strline)
        {
            stw.Write(str1 + ",");
        }
        stw.Write("\n");
    }
    str.Close();
    stw.Close();
}

字符串数组和数组列表是特意用来包含这些指令的。

下面是c++代码:

for (int i = 0; i<1000; i++)
{
    std::fstream file("file.csv", ios::in);
    if (!file.is_open())
    {
        std::cout << "File not found!\n";
        return 1;
    }

    ofstream myfile;
    myfile.open ("example.txt");
    std::string csvLine;

    while (std::getline(file, csvLine))
    {
        std::istringstream csvStream(csvLine);
        std::vector csvColumn;
        std::string csvElement;

        while( std::getline(csvStream, csvElement, ‘,’) )
        {
            csvColumn.push_back(csvElement);
        }

        for (std::vector::iterator j = csvColumn.begin(); j != csvColumn.end(); ++j)
        {
            myfile << *j << ", ";
        }

        csvColumn.clear();
        csvElement.clear();
        csvLine.clear();
        myfile << "\n";
    }
    myfile.close();
    file.close();
}

我使用的输入文件大小为40 KB。

结果是

c++代码在9秒内运行。 c#代码:4秒!!

哦，但是这是在Linux上…在Mono上运行c#…c++和g++。

好的，这是我在Windows - Visual Studio 2003上得到的:

c#代码在9秒内运行。 c++代码——可怕的370秒!!

据我所知…

你的困难似乎在于决定你所听到的是否可信，当你试图评估这个网站上的回复时，这个困难将会重复。

你将如何判断人们在这里所说的比你最初听到的更可信还是更不可信?

一种方法是要求提供证据。

当有人声称“在某些领域c#被证明比c++快”时，问他们为什么这么说，让他们给你看测量结果，让他们给你看程序。有时他们只是犯了一个错误。有时你会发现他们只是在表达一种观点，而不是分享一些他们可以证明是正确的事情。

通常情况下，信息和观点会混淆在人们的说法中，你必须试着分清哪个是哪个。例如，从这个论坛的回复中:

"Take the benchmarks at http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ with a great deal of scepticism, as these largely test arithmetic code, which is most likely not similar to your code at all." Ask yourself if you really understand what "these largely test arithmetic code" means, and then ask yourself if the author has actually shown you that his claim is true. "That's a rather useless test, since it really depends on how well the individual programs have been optimized; I've managed to speed up some of them by 4-6 times or more, making it clear that the comparison between unoptimized programs is rather silly." Ask yourself whether the author has actually shown you that he's managed to "speed up some of them by 4-6 times or more" - it's an easy claim to make!

快了5个橘子。或者更确切地说:不可能有一个(正确的)笼统的答案。c++是一种静态编译语言(但也有配置文件引导的优化)，c#在JIT编译器的帮助下运行。它们之间的差异如此之大，以至于像“快了多少”这样的问题都无法回答，甚至无法给出数量级。

对于“令人尴尬的并行”问题，当在c++上使用Intel TBB和OpenMP时，我观察到与用c#和TPL处理的类似(纯数学)问题相比，性能大约提高了10倍。SIMD是c#无法竞争的一个领域，但我也有一个印象，TPL有相当大的开销。

也就是说，我只在性能关键的任务中使用c++，我知道我将能够多线程并快速得到结果。对于其他任何事情，c#(偶尔f#)都很好。
