在c# / VB.NET/。哪个循环运行得更快,for还是foreach?

自从很久以前我读到for循环比foreach循环工作得快,我就认为它适用于所有集合、泛型集合、所有数组等。

我搜索了谷歌,找到了几篇文章,但大多数都是不确定的(阅读文章评论),而且是开放式的。

理想的情况是列出每种情况以及最佳解决方案。

例如(这只是一个例子):

用于迭代1000+的数组 字符串- for比foreach好 对于迭代IList(非泛型)字符串- foreach更好 比

在网上找到了一些相同的参考资料:

除了可读性之外,我对事实和数据真的很感兴趣。在某些应用中,最后一英里的性能优化确实很重要。

Jeffrey Richter在techhed 2005上说:

"I have come to learn over the years the C# compiler is basically a liar to me." .. "It lies about many things." .. "Like when you do a foreach loop..." .. "...that is one little line of code that you write, but what the C# compiler spits out in order to do that it's phenomenal. It puts out a try/finally block in there, inside the finally block it casts your variable to an IDisposable interface, and if the cast suceeds it calls the Dispose method on it, inside the loop it calls the Current property and the MoveNext method repeatedly inside the loop, objects are being created underneath the covers. A lot of people use foreach because it's very easy coding, very easy to do.." .. "foreach is not very good in terms of performance, if you iterated over a collection instead by using square bracket notation, just doing index, that's just much faster, and it doesn't create any objects on the heap..."

至少我没有看到我的同事或上级这么说,考虑到for和foreach之间没有显著的速度差异,这是荒谬的。如果他要求在所有情况下都使用它,同样适用!

Patrick Smacchia上个月写了一篇博客,总结如下:

List上的for循环比foreach便宜2倍多一点 循环列表。 在array上循环比在List上循环便宜2倍左右。 因此,使用for对数组进行循环要便宜5倍 而不是使用foreach在List上循环 (我相信,这是我们都在做的事情)。

for是否比foreach快确实不是重点。我非常怀疑选择其中之一会对你的表现产生重大影响。

优化应用程序的最佳方法是对实际代码进行分析。这将精确地找出占用最多工作/时间的方法。首先优化它们。如果性能仍然不能接受,请重复上述步骤。

一般来说,我建议不要进行微观优化,因为它们很少会产生任何显著的收益。唯一的例外是在优化确定的热门路径时(即,如果您的分析确定了一些高度使用的方法,那么广泛地优化这些方法可能是有意义的)。
