Questions like that are compiler-dependent, and often
dependent on what opimization switches are enabled.
The best way to get your answer is to compile as
simplified a case as you can to assembly and look at
the resulting code (assuming your compiler does not
optimize once assembly is created). Or, you could
always disassemble from within gdb to see the final
product.
Sorry I can't give you the simple "A is faster than B"
answer.
