plf_list

A drop-in replacement for std::list with 293% faster insertion, 57% faster erasure, 17% faster iteration and 77% faster sorting on average. 20-24% speed increase in use-case testing.

plf::list

A drop-in replacement for std::list with (on average):

  • 293% faster insertion
  • 57% faster erasure
  • 17% faster iteration
  • 77% faster sorting
  • 70% faster reversal
  • 91% faster remove/remove_if
  • 63% faster unique
  • 811% faster clear (1147900% for trivially-destructible types)
  • 1248% faster destruction (6350% for trivially-destructible types)
  • 20-24% faster performance overall in ordered use-case benchmarking(insertion, erasure and iteration on the fly and over time)

(Benchmarks performed on a haswell-based CPU under GCC 8.1: http://www.plflib.org/benchmarks_haswell_gcc.htm
Insertion, erasure, and iteration percentages obtained as average of performance across 5 types from char to very large struct)
