why int& as function parameter uses QWORD(8 byte) memory but int parameter uses DWORD

why int& as function parameter uses QWORD(8 byte) memory but int parameter uses DWORD

问题

在下面的代码中:

int firstFunction(int& refParam)
{
    std::cout << "Type of refParam is: " << typeid(refParam).name() << '\n';
    return refParam;
}

int secondFunction(int param)
{
    std::cout << "Type of param is: " << typeid(param).name() << '\n';
    return param;
}

int main()
{
    int firstVar{ 1 };
    int secondVar{ firstFunction(firstVar) };
    int thirdVar{ secondFunction(firstVar) };
}

控制台输出为:

int
int

当我在Godbolt链接中检查汇编代码时,我看到以下内容:

firstFunction(int&):
    push    rbp
    mov     rbp, rsp
    mov     QWORD PTR [rbp-8], rdi
    mov     rax, QWORD PTR [rbp-8]
    mov     eax, DWORD PTR [rax]
    pop     rbp
    ret
secondFunction(int):
    push    rbp
    mov     rbp, rsp
    mov     DWORD PTR [rbp-4], edi
    mov     eax, DWORD PTR [rbp-4]
    pop     rbp
    ret

引用参数在内存中创建了8字节的空间 QWORD PTR [rbp-8], rdi,而第二个函数中只创建了4字节的空间 DWORD PTR [rbp-4], edi

firstFunction(int&)的第6行看到 eax, DWORD PTR [rax],我认为这可能是因为第一个部分(eax)存储了值的地址,但是当我创建一个以char&为参数的第三个函数时,它也创建了8字节的空间。Godbolt链接

这是有原因的吗?

英文:

In the code below,

int firstFunction(int&amp; refParam)
{
	std::cout &lt;&lt; &quot;Type of refParam is: &quot; &lt;&lt; typeid(refParam).name() &lt;&lt; &#39;\n&#39;;
	return refParam;
}

int secondFunction(int param)
{
	std::cout &lt;&lt; &quot;Type of param is: &quot; &lt;&lt; typeid(param).name() &lt;&lt; &#39;\n&#39;;
	return param;
}

int main()
{
	int firstVar{ 1 };
	int secondVar{ firstFunction(firstVar) };
	int thirdVar{ secondFunction(firstVar) };
}

Console output is

int
int

When i check the assembly code in Godbolt link.

firstFunction(int&amp;):
        push    rbp
        mov     rbp, rsp
        mov     QWORD PTR [rbp-8], rdi
        mov     rax, QWORD PTR [rbp-8]
        mov     eax, DWORD PTR [rax]
        pop     rbp
        ret
secondFunction(int):
        push    rbp
        mov     rbp, rsp
        mov     DWORD PTR [rbp-4], edi
        mov     eax, DWORD PTR [rbp-4]
        pop     rbp
        ret

reference parameter creates a space of 8 bytes QWORD PTR [rbp-8], rdi
instead of 4 bytes in second function DWORD PTR [rbp-4], edi

After seeing eax, DWORD PTR [rax] in line 6 in firstFunction(int&amp;): I thought it might be because the first half(eax) stores the value adress but when i create a third function have char& as parameter it also creates 8 byte space. Godbolt Link

Is there any reason for that?

得分: 6

引用通常在底层实现时作为指针来处理,如果无法进行优化,指针在64位模式下占用8个字节。

英文:

references are usually implemented as pointers under the hood if it can't be optimized away, and pointers are 8 bytes in 64-bit mode
