Well I threw together a test program that ran each of these methods 100,000 times, half on files that existed and half on files that didn’t. Results for total time to run the 100,000 calls averaged over 5 runs, Method Time exists_test0 (ifstream) 0.485s exists_test1 (FILE fopen) 0.302s exists_test2 (posix access()) 0.202s exists_test3 (posix stat()) 0.134s The stat() function provided the … Read more
