.NET中的结构和类有什么区别?

我♥ 可视化,在这里我创建了一个来展示结构和类之间的基本区别。

其他回答

每个项目的简短摘要:

仅限班级:

可以支持继承是引用(指针)类型引用不能为空每个新实例的内存开销

仅结构:

无法支持继承是值类型按值传递(如整数)不能有空引用(除非使用了Nullable)每个新实例没有内存开销-除非“装箱”

类和结构:

复合数据类型通常用于包含一些具有某种逻辑关系的变量吗可以包含方法和事件可以支持接口

有一个有趣的“类vs结构”难题案例——当您需要从方法返回几个结果时:选择要使用的结果。如果你知道ValueTuple的故事,你就知道添加ValueTuple(结构)是因为它应该比Tuple(类)更有效。但这在数字上意味着什么?两个测试:一个是具有2个字段的结构/类,另一个是有8个字段的类型/类(维度大于4-从处理器节拍的角度来看,类应该比结构更有效,但当然也应该考虑GC负载)。

类和结构(官方文档)。在类和结构之间选择(官方文档)。

Struct Class
Type Value-type Reference-type
Where On stack / Inline in containing type On Heap
Deallocation Stack unwinds / containing type gets deallocated Garbage Collected
Arrays Inline, elements are the actual instances of the value type Out of line, elements are just references to instances of the reference type residing on the heap
Al-Del Cost Cheap allocation-deallocation Expensive allocation-deallocation
Memory usage Boxed when cast to a reference type or one of the interfaces they implement,
Unboxed when cast back to value type
(Negative impact because boxes are objects that are allocated on the heap and are garbage-collected)
No boxing-unboxing
Assignments Copy entire data Copy the reference
Change to an instance Does not affect any of its copies Affect all references pointing to the instance
Mutability Should be immutable Mutable
Population In some situations Majority of types in a framework should be classes
Lifetime Short-lived Long-lived
Destructor Cannot have Can have
Inheritance Only from an interface Full support
Polymorphism No Yes
Sealed Yes When have sealed keyword (C#), or Sealed attribute (F#)
Constructor Can not have explicit parameterless constructors Any constructor
Null-assignments When marked with nullable question mark Yes (When marked with nullable question mark in C# 8+ and F# 5+ 1)
Abstract No When have abstract keyword (C#), or AbstractClass attribute (F#)
Member Access Modifiers public, private, internal public, protected, internal, protected internal, private protected

1不鼓励在F#中使用null,请改用Option类型。

除了其他答案之外,还有一个基本的区别值得注意,那就是数据如何存储在数组中,因为这会对性能产生重大影响。

对于结构,数组包含结构的实例对于类,数组包含指向内存中其他位置的类实例的指针

因此,内存中的结构数组如下所示

[结构][结构]〔结构〕〔结构〕

而类数组看起来像这样

指针

对于一个类数组,您感兴趣的值不会存储在数组中,而是存储在内存的其他位置。

对于绝大多数应用程序来说,这种差异并不重要,但是,在高性能代码中,这将影响内存中数据的位置,并对CPU缓存的性能产生很大影响。在可以/应该使用结构的情况下使用类将大大增加CPU上的缓存未命中数。

现代CPU做的最慢的事情不是处理数字,而是从内存中提取数据,一级缓存命中速度比从RAM读取数据快很多倍。

下面是一些可以测试的代码。在我的机器上,遍历类数组所需的时间大约是结构数组的3倍。

    private struct PerformanceStruct
    {
        public int i1;
        public int i2;
    }

    private class PerformanceClass
    {
        public int i1;
        public int i2;
    }

    private static void DoTest()
    {
        var structArray = new PerformanceStruct[100000000];
        var classArray = new PerformanceClass[structArray.Length];

        for (var i = 0; i < structArray.Length; i++)
        {
            structArray[i] = new PerformanceStruct();
            classArray[i] = new PerformanceClass();
        }

        long total = 0;
        var sw = new Stopwatch();
        sw.Start();
        for (var loops = 0; loops < 100; loops++)
        for (var i = 0; i < structArray.Length; i++)
        {
            total += structArray[i].i1 + structArray[i].i2;
        }

        sw.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine($"Struct Time: {sw.ElapsedMilliseconds}");
        sw = new Stopwatch();
        sw.Start();
        for (var loops = 0; loops < 100; loops++)
        for (var i = 0; i < classArray.Length; i++)
        {
            total += classArray[i].i1 + classArray[i].i2;
        }

        Console.WriteLine($"Class Time: {sw.ElapsedMilliseconds}");
    }
