Stack과 Heap

1. Stack과 Heap 영역에 변수 생성 시간 테스트

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

#define MAX_COUNT 1000000


void do_nothing_test() {
    clock_t start = clock();

    for (int i = 0; i < MAX_COUNT; i++)
    ;

    printf("Empty: %f\n", ((float)(clock()-start)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC));
}


void stack_create_test() {
    clock_t start = clock();

    for (int i = 0; i < MAX_COUNT; i++) {
        int arr[10] = { 0, };
    }

    printf("Stack: %f\n", ((float)(clock()-start)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC));
}


void heap_create_test() {
    clock_t start = clock();

    for (int i = 0; i < MAX_COUNT; i++) {
        int *arr = malloc(sizeof(int)*10);
        free(arr);
    }

    printf("Heap:  %f\n", ((float)(clock()-start)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC));
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    do_nothing_test();
    stack_create_test();
    heap_create_test();
    return 0;
}
