Bug ID: 60621
Summary: std::vector::emplace_back generates massively more
code than push_back
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: mutz at kde dot org

Source of the programme used to generate the mentioned numbers
Compiling the attached program on Linux AMD64 with the following command lines:
$ g++ -O2 -std=c++11 -o emplace-vs-push_back{.pb,.cpp}
$ g++ -O2 -std=c++11 -o emplace-vs-push_back{.eb,.cpp} -DEMPLACE_BACK
and stripping the resulting executables:
$ strip emplace-vs-push_back.*
I get the following sizes:
$ size emplace-vs-push_back.*
text data bss dec hex filename
5570 696 40 6306 18a2 emplace-vs-push_back.eb
4338 672 40 5050 13ba emplace-vs-push_back.pb
IOW: the emplace_back version generates roughly 1K more text (code).
This is surprising, since functionally, emplace_back is the same as
push_back(S&&), except that it saves one move ctor and one dtor call due to
in-place construction. This should result in _less_ code generated, not more.
$ g++ -v
Using built-in specs.
