-O2 optimized compilation results:
1.879560 inline common:1.67772e+07, -3.35544e+07 ,8.38861e+06

The result of -O0 compilation:
13.819541 inline common:1.67772e+07, -3.35544e+07 ,8.38861e+06
13.965824 inline common:1.67772e+07, -3.35544e+07 ,8.38861e+06

15.631393 virtual:1.67772e+07, -3.35544e+07 ,8.38861e+06
in conclusion:
- -In the case of O2 optimization, the performance of the ordinary function and the virtual function are the same, and both are three times slower than the inline function
- -O0 closes optimization, except for the slow virtual function call, the performance of all other function calls is the same
