.NET中的结构和类有什么区别?
当前回答
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”。

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)。

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}");
}
首先,结构是通过值而不是引用传递的。结构适用于相对简单的数据结构,而类通过多态性和继承从体系结构的角度来看具有更大的灵活性。
其他人可能会比我给你更多的细节,但当我所追求的结构很简单时,我会使用结构。
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
