.NET中的结构和类有什么区别?

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

如前所述:类是引用类型,而结构是具有所有后果的值类型。

根据经验,框架设计指南建议在以下情况下使用结构而不是类:

它的实例大小小于16字节它逻辑上表示单个值,类似于原始类型(int、double等)它是不可变的它不必经常装箱

类的实例存储在托管堆上。“包含”实例的所有变量都只是对堆上实例的引用。将对象传递给方法会导致传递引用的副本,而不是对象本身。

结构(从技术上讲,值类型)存储在使用它们的任何地方,很像原始类型。运行时可以随时复制内容,而无需调用自定义的复制构造函数。将值类型传递给方法涉及复制整个值,同样无需调用任何自定义代码。

C++/CLI名称使这种区别更加明显:“ref class”是第一个类,“value class”是第二个类。C#使用的关键字“class”和“struct”只是必须学习的东西。

结构与等级

结构是一种值类型,因此它存储在堆栈上,但类是一种引用类型,存储在堆上。

结构不支持继承和多态,但类同时支持两者。

默认情况下,所有结构成员都是公共的,但类成员在本质上默认是私有的。

由于结构是一种值类型,我们不能将null赋给结构对象,但类的情况并非如此。

在.NET中,结构和类声明区分引用类型和值类型。

传递引用类型时,实际存储的只有一个。访问实例的所有代码都在访问同一个实例。

传递值类型时,每个值类型都是副本。所有代码都在自己的副本上运行。

这可以用一个例子来说明:

struct MyStruct 
{
    string MyProperty { get; set; }
}

void ChangeMyStruct(MyStruct input) 
{ 
   input.MyProperty = "new value";
}

...

// Create value type
MyStruct testStruct = new MyStruct { MyProperty = "initial value" }; 

ChangeMyStruct(testStruct);

// Value of testStruct.MyProperty is still "initial value"
// - the method changed a new copy of the structure.

对于一个班级来说,这将是不同的

class MyClass 
{
    string MyProperty { get; set; }
}

void ChangeMyClass(MyClass input) 
{ 
   input.MyProperty = "new value";
}

...

// Create reference type
MyClass testClass = new MyClass { MyProperty = "initial value" };

ChangeMyClass(testClass);

// Value of testClass.MyProperty is now "new value" 
// - the method changed the instance passed.

类可以是空的-引用可以指向空。

结构是实际值-它们可以为空,但决不能为空。因此,结构总是有一个没有参数的默认构造函数——它们需要一个“起始值”。
