Performance improvements in libcxx

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

We want to discuss current state of libcxx performance w.r.t. libstdc++. What are the regressions that we know and plan to fix them. A few of the regressions are: 

PR21192 - Reading from stdin is 1-2 orders of magnitude slower than using libstdc++ 
PR19708 - std::find is significantly slower than libstdc++. 
PR20837 - libc++'s std::sort is O(N^2) in the worst case (instead of O(N*ln(N))). 
PR26886 - libc++'s std::stable_sort also has a worst-case complexity issue. 
PR15456 - A faster implementation of std::function is possible 
PR16747 and PR21275 - Our unordered_multimap insert is much slower than libstdc++'s 
- Removing Heap usage 
- Missing features (and performance issues) in <regex> 
- Non-conforming allocators in the test suite 
- Identifying missing attributes in functions 
- Debug mode for the library
