再议C#中的装箱与拆箱的问题详解
上一篇写了一下装箱拆箱的定义和IL分析,这一篇我们看下使用泛型和不使用泛型引发装箱拆箱的情况
1.使用非泛型集合时引发的装箱和拆箱操作
看下面的一段代码:
代码如下:
var array = new ArrayList();
array.Add(1);
array.Add(2);
foreach (int value in array)
{
Console.WriteLine(“value is {0}”,value);
}
代码声明了一个ArrayList对象,向ArrayList中添加两个数字1,2;然后使用foreach将ArrayList中的元素打印到控制台。
在这个过程中会发生两次装箱操作和两次拆箱操作,在向ArrayList中添加int类型元素时会发生装箱,在使用foreach枚举ArrayList中的int类型元素时会发生拆箱操作,将object类型转换成int类型,在执行到Console.WriteLine时,还会执行两次的装箱操作;这一段代码执行了6次的装箱和拆箱操作;如果ArrayList的元素个数很多,执行装箱拆箱的操作会更多。
你可以通过使用ILSpy之类的工具查看IL代码的box,unbox指令查看装箱和拆箱的过程
2.使用泛型集合的情况
请看如下代码:
代码如下:
var list = new List<int>();
list.Add(1);
list.Add(2);
foreach (int value in list)
{
Console.WriteLine("value is {0}", value);
}
代码和1中的代码的差别在于集合的类型使用了泛型的List,而非ArrayList;我们同样可以通过查看IL代码查看装箱拆箱的情况,上述代码只会在Console.WriteLine()方法时执行2次装箱操作,不需要拆箱操作。
可以看出泛型可以避免装箱拆箱带来的不必要的性能消耗;当然泛型的好处不止于此,泛型还可以增加程序的可读性,使程序更容易被复用等等。
本文使用的C#代码如下:
代码如下:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace boxOrUnbox
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//do nothing
}
static void Box()
{
object objValue = 9;
}
static void Unbox()
{
object objValue = 4;
int value = (int)objValue;
}
static void LookatArrayList()
{
var array = new ArrayList();
array.Add(1);
array.Add(2);
foreach (int value in array)
{
Console.WriteLine("value is {0}", value);
}
}
static void LookatGenericList()
{
var list = new List<int>();
list.Add(1);
list.Add(2);
foreach (int value in list)
{
Console.WriteLine("value is {0}", value);
}
}
}
}
