C++核心准则Per.5,6 关于性能的误解

Per.5: Don't assume that low-level code is necessarily faster than high-level code

Per.5:不要主观的认为低层次代码一定比高层次代码快

Reason（原因）

Low-level code sometimes inhibits optimizations. Optimizers sometimes do marvels with high-level code.

低层次代码有时会妨碍优化。有时优化器对高层次代码进行令人赞叹的优化。

Per.6: Don't make claims about performance without measurements

Per.6:不要只是定性抱怨性能问题

Reason（原因）

The field of performance is littered with myth and bogus folklore. Modern hardware and optimizers defy naive assumptions; even experts are regularly surprised.

性能领域的充斥者神话和虚假的传说。先进的硬件和优化器也抵挡不了无知的臆断；哪怕是专家也经常会感觉意外。

Note（注意）

Getting good performance measurements can be hard and require specialized tools.

获得好的性能度量手段很困难，需要特定的工具才行。

Note（注意）

A few simple microbenchmarks using Unix time or the standard-library <chrono> can help dispel the most obvious myths. If you can't measure your complete system accurately, at least try to measure a few of your key operations and algorithms. A profiler can help tell you which parts of your system are performance critical. Often, you will be surprised.

一些使用Unix时间的简单的基准程序或者标准库<chrono>可以帮助驱散大多数明显（不实，译者注）的神话。如果你不能精确地测量整个系统，至少应该测量重要的操作和算法。分析器可以告诉你，系统的哪一部分是性能敏感的。通常，结果会让你意外的。
