Question

We have the question is there a performance difference between i++ and ++i in C?

What\'s the answer for C++?

Answer 1

Mark: Just wanted to point out that operator++'s are good candidates to be inlined, and if the compiler elects to do so, the redundant copy will be eliminated in most cases. (e.g. POD types, which iterators usually are.)

That said, it's still better style to use ++iter in most cases. :-)
