If you want to be really pedantic, there is also the choice between "runtime overhead" and "code overhead" (code specialization).
And why not mention the overhead of the programmer foregoing these "short cuts" and hand-coding it herself.
- comex 11y agoThat first one ain't pedantic; C++ code on the whole tends to generate a lot of assembly bloat with inlined methods and template instantiations, and while executable size probably isn't that important for most use cases, it is for quite a few.
- Dewie3 11y agoIt is pedantic in the sense that "overhead" in a programming context will most of the time mean some kind of runtime overhead, unless noted otherwise.
