C语言寄存器变量和内存变量的操作速度对比

C语言寄存器变量和内存变量的操作速度对比

实验代码

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int test_reg(const unsigned long n)
{
    const int t1 = GetTickCount();
    for (register unsigned long i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
    }
    const int t2 = GetTickCount();
    return t2 - t1;
}

int test_nonreg(const unsigned long n)
{
    const int t1 = GetTickCount();
    for (unsigned long i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
    }
    const int t2 = GetTickCount();
    return t2 - t1;
}

int main()
{
    unsigned long n_0 = 1 << 10;
    for (unsigned long n = n_0; n < 1e9; n = n << 1)
    {
        printf("non-reg with n=%ld: %d\n", n, test_nonreg(n));
        printf("reg with n=%ld: %d\n", n, test_reg(n));
    }
    return 0;
}
