Weird behaviour of C++ destructors
- by Vilx-
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
vector< vector<int> > dp(50000, vector<int>(4, -1));
cout << dp.size();
}
This tiny program takes a split second to execute when simply run from the command line. But when run in a debugger, it takes over 8 seconds. Pausing the debugger reveals that it is in the middle of destroying all those vectors. WTF?
Note - Visual Studio 2008 SP1, Core 2 Duo 6700 CPU with 2GB of RAM.
Added: To clarify, no, I'm not confusing Debug and Release builds. These results are on one and the same .exe, without even any recompiling inbetween. In fact, switching between Debug and Release builds changes nothing.
