Measuring the Overhead of iostreams - What Is the Difference?

Measuring the Overhead of iostreams - What Is the Difference?

Explore the performance impact of C++ iostreams' synchronization with C stdio streams in this 20-minute conference talk from ACCU 2022. Delve into a simple test harness set up to measure the overhead caused by default synchronization between cin, cout, and corresponding C stdio streams. Examine the results obtained and gain insights into potential improvements for the test methodology. Learn from Ahto Truu's three decades of ICT industry experience as he shares his findings and invites audience feedback to enhance the experiment.
