Comparison of Qt's foreach and range-based for in C++11

ckakman

Hi,

I have made some benchmarking to compare foreach and range-for performance on QVector and QHash. I think some of you may find the results interesting.

The benchmark code and the results are "here":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-41636

Edit: I have fixed the benchmark so that copying the container takes place inside the benchmark loop. Benchmark code and results are updated in the report.

Thank you for this test!
I have some questions:

Are you compiling in release mode?
What level of optimization - O1, O2, O3?

Yes, I've run the tests in release mode. Optimization level is -O2 for both cland and gcc. I am using qmake to build the projects, so these are the defaults.

This looks like good content for the wiki, at least in the short term.
