Question

for (int i = 0; i < level.PathLookupVectors()[globalNodePositionIndex][globalNodeChoice].size(); i++)
{
    //adds the correct nodes to the search
    search.push_back(level.PathLookupVectors()[globalNodePositionIndex][globalNodeChoice][i]);
}

and it’s a 64 bit system.

the program is taking about 30 seconds to execute one pass of the loop. Is there a reason why this is happeneing? I’m not sure what info you guys will need but ask and i’ll get it for you.

search is a vector of integers and pathLookupVectors is a vector of vectors of vectors of ints.

search usually ends up being populated by an average of 27 integers but can be a little higher or as low as one.

I did notice I’m passing pathLookupVectors by value. could that be the problem?

Answer 1

It’s difficult to say without seeing all the relevant code, but I suspect that:

level.PathLookupVectors()

…might return a vector of some kind by-value, rather than by-pointer- or by-reference. This is just a guess, but if this is so, you could be creating temporary copies of the whole vector, and then modifying that.
