Hi,
I'm facing a very strange behavior that I cannot manage to explane.
I'm currently working on a project of re-implementing Python functions in
C++ in order to improve performance and I'm then creating Python extensions
thanks to Boost.
I implemented quite a heavy function that calculates tangents and binormals
this way:
class GeomUtils
{
private:
// some functions...
public:
AddTangentAndBinormals();
}
GeomUtils::AddtangentAndBinormals()
{
// call some functions...
}
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(geom_utils)
{
class_<GeomUtils>("GeomUtils", init<>())
.def("AddTangentAndBinormals", &GeomUtils::AddTangentAndBinormals)
;
}
This was very successful, decreasing the computation time from 54.0 seconds
to less than 1.0 second.
Then I decided this wasn't worth a class and that I should directly export
the function :
AddTangentAndBinormals()
{
// call some functions...
}
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(geom_utils)
{
def("AddTangentAndBinormals", &AddTangentAndBinormals);
}
and the profile was back to 54.0 seconds!!!
Please could someone help me understand what's the difference and the
mechanism underlying that?
Thanks
-David
