使用C++ 11可变参数模板在编译时快速排序

Question

我刚刚通过使用C++ 11可变参数模板在编译时对其进行评估来实现快速排序算法.但是,当数据集太大时,我遇到性能问题.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

template<int... vs>
struct Seq
{}; 
template<int v1, int...vs>
struct Seq<v1, vs...>{
};


template<typename newT, typename srcT>

template<int vadded, int...vs>
struct PushFront<Seq<vadded>, Seq<vs...>>{
  typedef Seq<vadded, vs...> ResultType;
};

template<typename T>
struct PopFront{

template<int v1, int...vs>
struct PopFront<Seq<v1, vs...>>{
  typedef Seq<vs...> RemaindType;
  typedef Seq<v1>    ResultType;
};

template<typename T1, typename T2>
struct CatSeq{};
template<int...v, int...us>
struct CatSeq<Seq<v...>, Seq<us...>>{
  typedef Seq< v..., us... >  ResultType;
};


template<bool c, typename NewT, typename TrueClsT, typename FalseClsT>

  typedef typename Classify<isge, Seq<v1>, GESet, LSet>::NewFalseClsT  TmpRstLSet;

  typedef typename PartitionImpl<Seq<anchorv>, Seq<vs...>, TmpRstGESet, TmpRstLSet>::RstGESet RstGESet;
  typedef typename PartitionImpl<Seq<anchorv>, Seq<vs...>, TmpRstGESet, TmpRstLSet>::RstLSet  RstLSet;
};


template<typename T>
struct Partition{
};
template<int v1, int v2, int...vs>
struct Partition<Seq<v1, v2, vs...>>{
  typedef Seq<v1> AnchorType;
  typedef Seq<> GESet;
  typedef Seq<> LSet;
  typedef typename PartitionImpl<AnchorType, Seq<v1, v2, vs...>, GESet, LSet>::RstGESet  RstGESet;

};

//why introduce this? refer to Sort
template<typename SrcT, typename GESet, typename LSet, template<typename > class SortOp>
struct SortSub{  
  typedef typename SortOp<GESet>::ResultType  TmpGESet2;
  typedef typename SortOp<LSet>::ResultType   TmpLSet2;
};
template<typename SrcT, typename LSet, template<typename> class SortOp>
struct SortSub<SrcT, SrcT, LSet, SortOp>{
  typedef SrcT  TmpGESet2;

};
template<typename SrcT, typename GESet, template<typename> class SortOp>
struct SortSub<SrcT, GESet, SrcT, SortOp>{
  typedef typename SortOp<GESet>::ResultType  TmpGESet2;
  typedef SrcT   TmpLSet2;
};

template<typename T>
struct Sort;
template<>
struct Sort<Seq<>>{
  typedef Seq<> ResultType;

  typedef typename SortSub<SrcType, TmpGESet, TmpLSet, Sort>::TmpLSet2   TmpLSet2;

  typedef typename CatSeq<TmpGESet2, TmpLSet2>::ResultType ResultType;
};


void dumpSeqTypeImpl(Seq<> ){
}
template<int v1>
void dumpSeqTypeImpl(Seq<v1> ){
  cout<<v1<<" ";
}
template<int v1, int...vs>
void dumpSeqTypeImpl(Seq<v1, vs...> ){
  cout<<v1<<" ";
  dumpSeqTypeImpl( Seq<vs...>() );
}
template<int...vs>
void dumpSeqType(Seq<vs...> ){
  cout<<"Seq type < ";
  dumpSeqTypeImpl( Seq<vs...>() );
  cout<<" >"<<endl;
}

    //test data
#include "qsort_input.txt"

int main(){
  //Seq<>  s0;// aggregate ‘Seq<> s0’ has incomplete type and cannot be defined
  Seq<1> s1;
  Seq<1, 2> s2;

  typedef Seq<5, 5, 5> TestType_SAME;
  TestType_SAME same;
  dumpSeqType( same );
  typename Partition< TestType_SAME >::RstGESet _ts1;
  typename Partition< TestType_SAME >::RstLSet _ts2;
  dumpSeqType( _ts1 );
  dumpSeqType( _ts2 );

#if 1
  typedef Seq<4, 7, 3, 9, 1, 2, 5, 5, 19, 5> TestType;
  TestType s3;
  dumpSeqType( s3 );
  typename Partition< TestType >::RstGESet ts1;
  typename Partition< TestType >::RstLSet ts2;
  dumpSeqType( ts1 );
  dumpSeqType( ts2 );

  typename Sort<TestType>::ResultType so1;
  dumpSeqType( so1 );
#endif 

#if 1
  typedef Seq<TEST_DATA_100> TAdvanceType;
  typename Sort<TAdvanceType>::ResultType soadvance;
  dumpSeqType(soadvance);
#endif

  return 0;
}

当数据集是TEST_DATA_100时,编译需要1.7秒.
当数据集是TEST_DATA_1000时,编译器似乎停止....

我正在使用gcc 4.6.0.

Answer 1

你有没看过它的内存消耗？请注意,quicksort本身比线性更差,更糟糕的是更糟糕的情况运行时.这与模板编译和实例化的某些步骤(有时是指数)的线性运行时行为相比更糟.您应该为各种数据集绘制编译时间图,以观察代码的真实复杂性类.通常,使用如此大的数据集进行模板元编程是不可行的.

编辑: 出于好奇,我尝试了代码,发现直到~500它大致跟随公式pow(N*log(N),1.47)*0.0004 + 0.6然后开始变得非常慢,155秒为700项.此外,它开始吃非常多的RAM(3GiB为600),这使我得出结论,对于1000个元素,它将需要比大多数人更多的ram并且将花费数小时来编译.

进一步注意,当不是每个元素都是唯一的时,代码不起作用.

Answer 2

您正在使用递归元函数来构建快速排序.当你试图在编译器上推送1000个递归实例时,你到底发生了什么？

仅仅因为函数理论上可以采用任意数量的参数并不意味着编译器实际上可以处理任意数量的参数.编译器有限制.

另外:编译时排序的重点是什么？您可以离线执行此操作并将数据复制到.cpp文件中.或者只是std::sort在程序启动时运行一次.
