Thanks Maxwell,
I can understand the real path for execution could only be decided at runtime. 
But I do not know why which named variable/return path matters the optimization -- the optimization only happens when the function returns and compiler only needs to insert optimization code at the place where there is a return statement -- if there are multiple returns, the compiler could put multiple optimization into multiple return statement.
I think no matter which one will return, either rvo or RVO(), the return value is a temporary obejct, and compiler could optimize it by using assignment operator on the outside rvo object instance directly without creating the temporary object, right?
Why the named variable/return path matters? Could you provide more information about your analysis please?
regards,
George

The term "optimization" refers to two aspects: (1) efficiency, and (2) code size.
(1) The efficiency concept: Just like finding the shortest path.
(2) The code size issue: If many return paths can be simplified, concluded, and compacted into one single return path, the code size will be smaller. And maybe it would be more efficient.

Thanks Maxwell,
I think you mean there is room for compiler to optimize the speed of the code, but considering the binary size will be larger, the code can not be optimized, right?
But I am confused that I assign the /O2 (optimize for max speed) and it should work and does not consider the resulting binary size -- which is the purpose of /O1 (optimize for small size). Any comments?
regards,
George

IMHO, In this case the optimization will be difficult and sometimes useless. That may be the reason the code goes untouched.
Suppose the return value pass by hidden reference,as per the article,
1. If value of i == 10, it have to construct/copy the return value once again after initialization as the newly cosntructed object depends on another location of memory. which gives no advantage on optimization
2.As per the article, the NRVO is basically on workes with single return objects.
In the following case, the optimization dint work.
RVO rvo;<br />
<br />
if ( 11 == 10)<br />
return (RVO());<br />
rvo.mem_var = i;
return (rvo);
In the following case compiler damn sure that
if ( 11 == 10)<br />
return (RVO());
The above case will never works, so NRVO can be applied but still it's missing I believe.
Anyway I'm not so expert in optimization related things, please share you view points.

Thanks for sharing your perpective, Sarath!
Two more comments,
1. I do not quite understand why you think below in the case there is no room to optimize? Could you provide more description please?

2. here is my perpective mentioned before, please feel free to comment and correct.

I was talking based on the article.
Please check Hidden argument with/without NRVO[^]

i have a for loop like this
for(int i=0;i=3;i++)
{
cout<<"hello";
}
Ans :it works infinite times
can anybody explain me the reason for this for loop
|

Hint:
the expression
i=3;
evaluates to 3, i.e. non-zero.

It loops infinitely because i=3 (the conditional part of the for() loop) always evaluates to non-zero.

Hi All,
I want to change some edit line to be read only but when i change the control properties i see that the control is in gray color -
I want that the control will stay in withe color - how can i do it ?
|

A read-only control and a disabled (gray) control are two different things. Which do you want?

I did not said anything about disable the control.
I mean readOnly.

You will have to color the control yourself.

Hello every1.
I need to read the log file which is being updated every second and it is growing.
How do i have to approach that if i want to receive only 'newly' updated entries in the logfile rather than parsing it from the beggining?
Is there any good example how to do that?
|
|
|
|
|
Just store the end-of-file position, for instance (oversimplified standard C snippet)
last_pos = _lseek( fp, 0L, SEEK_END );
then, later on, start reading from recorded position
_lseek( fp, last_pos, SEEK_SET );

Hi all,
I was trying to read a .exe file in binary format. For doing this i have read the file and then copied it in buffer. My buffer is in this variable
std::vector<unsigned char="">buf(sz);
</unsigned>
now my problem is i want to see that wether it has copied the content in buffer correctly or not.......and i am not not getting the way of doing this.......

I suppose you put the file content into a buffer. Now what do you want to do?
Check whether buffer content corrensponds to file one? validate the executable format? What else?
