G++ optimization beyond -O3/-Ofast

Most of the answers suggest alternative solutions, such as different compilers or external libraries, which would most likely bring a lot of rewriting or integration work. I will try to stick to what the question is asking, and focus on what can be done with GCC alone, by activating compiler flags or doing minimal changes … Read more

How can I improve performance via a high-level approach when implementing long equations in C++

Edit summary My original answer merely noted that the code contained a lot of replicated computations and that many of the powers involved factors of 1/3. For example, pow(x, 0.1e1/0.3e1) is the same as cbrt(x). My second edit was just wrong, and and my third extrapolated on this wrongness. This is what makes people afraid … Read more

GNU GCC (g++): Why does it generate multiple dtors?

First, the purposes of these functions are described in the Itanium C++ ABI; see definitions under “base object destructor”, “complete object destructor”, and “deleting destructor”. The mapping to mangled names is given in 5.1.4. Basically: D2 is the “base object destructor”. It destroys the object itself, as well as data members and non-virtual base classes. … Read more

Error: free(): invalid next size (fast):

It means that you have a memory error. You may be trying to free a pointer that wasn’t allocated by malloc (or delete an object that wasn’t created by new) or you may be trying to free/delete such an object more than once. You may be overflowing a buffer or otherwise writing to memory to … Read more
