在一次微软员工的代码检查中,我们在一个try{}块中发现了一大块代码。她和一位IT代表表示,这可能会对代码的性能产生影响。事实上,他们建议大部分代码应该在try/catch块之外,并且只检查重要的部分。这位微软员工补充说,即将发布的白皮书对错误的尝试/捕获块提出了警告。

我环顾四周,发现它会影响优化,但它似乎只适用于在作用域之间共享变量时。

我不是在问代码的可维护性,甚至不是在问如何处理正确的异常(毫无疑问,有问题的代码需要重构)。我也不是指使用异常进行流控制,这在大多数情况下显然是错误的。这些都是重要的问题(有些更重要),但不是这里的重点。

当不抛出异常时,try/catch块如何影响性能?


当前回答

在看到有try/catch和没有try/catch的所有统计数据后,好奇心迫使我回头看看这两种情况下生成了什么。代码如下:

C#:

private static void TestWithoutTryCatch(){
    Console.WriteLine("SIN(1) = {0} - No Try/Catch", Math.Sin(1)); 
}

MSIL:

.method private hidebysig static void  TestWithoutTryCatch() cil managed
{
  // Code size       32 (0x20)
  .maxstack  8
  IL_0000:  nop
  IL_0001:  ldstr      "SIN(1) = {0} - No Try/Catch"
  IL_0006:  ldc.r8     1.
  IL_000f:  call       float64 [mscorlib]System.Math::Sin(float64)
  IL_0014:  box        [mscorlib]System.Double
  IL_0019:  call       void [mscorlib]System.Console::WriteLine(string,
                                                                object)
  IL_001e:  nop
  IL_001f:  ret
} // end of method Program::TestWithoutTryCatch

C#:

private static void TestWithTryCatch(){
    try{
        Console.WriteLine("SIN(1) = {0}", Math.Sin(1)); 
    }
    catch (Exception ex){
        Console.WriteLine(ex);
    }
}

MSIL:

.method private hidebysig static void  TestWithTryCatch() cil managed
{
  // Code size       49 (0x31)
  .maxstack  2
  .locals init ([0] class [mscorlib]System.Exception ex)
  IL_0000:  nop
  .try
  {
    IL_0001:  nop
    IL_0002:  ldstr      "SIN(1) = {0}"
    IL_0007:  ldc.r8     1.
    IL_0010:  call       float64 [mscorlib]System.Math::Sin(float64)
    IL_0015:  box        [mscorlib]System.Double
    IL_001a:  call       void [mscorlib]System.Console::WriteLine(string,
                                                                  object)
    IL_001f:  nop
    IL_0020:  nop
    IL_0021:  leave.s    IL_002f //JUMP IF NO EXCEPTION
  }  // end .try
  catch [mscorlib]System.Exception 
  {
    IL_0023:  stloc.0
    IL_0024:  nop
    IL_0025:  ldloc.0
    IL_0026:  call       void [mscorlib]System.Console::WriteLine(object)
    IL_002b:  nop
    IL_002c:  nop
    IL_002d:  leave.s    IL_002f
  }  // end handler
  IL_002f:  nop
  IL_0030:  ret
} // end of method Program::TestWithTryCatch

我不是IL方面的专家,但我们可以看到在第四行.locals init ([0] class [mscorlib]System. init)上创建了一个局部异常对象。例外ex)之后的事情与没有try/catch的方法几乎相同,直到第17行IL_0021: leave。IL_002f。如果发生异常,则控件跳转到IL_0025: ldloc行。0否则跳转到标签IL_002d: leave。s IL_002f和函数返回。

我可以安全地假设,如果没有异常发生,那么创建局部变量只保存异常对象和跳转指令的开销。

Rico Mariani的性能花絮:异常成本:何时抛出,何时不抛出

The first kind of cost is the static cost of having exception handling in your code at all. Managed exceptions actually do comparatively well here, by which I mean the static cost can be much lower than say in C++. Why is this? Well, static cost is really incurred in two kinds of places: First, the actual sites of try/finally/catch/throw where there's code for those constructs. Second, in unmanged code, there's the stealth cost associated with keeping track of all the objects that must be destructed in the event that an exception is thrown. There's a considerable amount of cleanup logic that must be present and the sneaky part is that even code that doesn't itself throw or catch or otherwise have any overt use of exceptions still bears the burden of knowing how to clean up after itself.

德米特里·扎斯拉夫斯基:

根据Chris Brumme的注释:有 还有一个与事实有关的成本 有些优化没有进行 由JIT在现场执行 抓

理论上,try/catch块不会对代码行为产生影响,除非实际发生异常。然而,在一些罕见的情况下,try/catch块的存在可能会产生重大影响,而在一些不常见但并不晦涩的情况下,这种影响可能是显而易见的。这样做的原因是给定的代码如下:

Action q;
double thing1()
  { double total; for (int i=0; i<1000000; i++) total+=1.0/i; return total;}
double thing2()
  { q=null; return 1.0;}
...
x=thing1();     // statement1
x=thing2(x);    // statement2
doSomething(x); // statement3

编译器可以基于保证statement2在statement3之前执行这一事实来优化statement1。如果编译器可以识别出thing1没有副作用,并且thing2实际上没有使用x,那么它可以安全地完全省略thing1。如果thing1是昂贵的,这可能是一个主要的优化,尽管thing1是昂贵的情况也是编译器最不可能优化的。假设代码被更改:

x=thing1();      // statement1
try
{ x=thing2(x); } // statement2
catch { q(); }
doSomething(x);  // statement3

Now there exists a sequence of events where statement3 could execute without statement2 having executed. Even if nothing in the code for thing2 could throw an exception, it would be possible that another thread could use an Interlocked.CompareExchange to notice that q was cleared and set it to Thread.ResetAbort, and then perform a Thread.Abort() before statement2 wrote its value to x. Then the catch would execute Thread.ResetAbort() [via delegate q], allowing execution to continue with statement3. Such a sequence of events would of course be exceptionally improbable, but a compiler is required to generate code which work according to specification even when such improbable events occur.

一般来说,编译器更有可能注意到遗漏简单代码而不是复杂代码的机会,因此如果从未抛出异常,try/catch很少会对性能产生很大影响。尽管如此,在某些情况下,try/catch块的存在可能会阻止优化——如果没有try/catch的话——可以让代码运行得更快。

try/catch对性能有影响。

但影响并不大。try/catch复杂度通常是O(1),就像一个简单的赋值一样,除了它们被放置在一个循环中。所以你必须明智地使用它们。

这里有一个关于try/catch性能的参考(虽然没有解释它的复杂性,但它是隐含的)。请参阅抛出更少异常一节

不。如果try/finally块排除的琐碎优化实际上对您的程序有可衡量的影响,那么您可能一开始就不应该使用. net。

虽然“预防胜于处理”,但从性能和效率的角度来看,我们可以选择试接而不是预变。考虑下面的代码:

Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
stopwatch.Start();
for (int i = 1; i < int.MaxValue; i++)
{
    if (i != 0)
    {
        int k = 10 / i;
    }
}
stopwatch.Stop();
Console.WriteLine($"With Checking: {stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds}");
stopwatch.Reset();
stopwatch.Start();
for (int i = 1; i < int.MaxValue; i++)
{
    try
    {
        int k = 10 / i;
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {

    }
}
stopwatch.Stop();
Console.WriteLine($"With Exception: {stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds}");

结果如下:

With Checking:  20367
With Exception: 13998
