在编程接口时,我发现我做了很多强制转换或对象类型转换。

这两种转换方法有什么区别吗?如果是的话,是否有成本差异,或者这对我的程序有什么影响?

public interface IMyInterface
{
    void AMethod();
}

public class MyClass : IMyInterface
{
    public void AMethod()
    {
       //Do work
    }

    // Other helper methods....
}

public class Implementation
{
    IMyInterface _MyObj;
    MyClass _myCls1;
    MyClass _myCls2;

    public Implementation()
    {
        _MyObj = new MyClass();

        // What is the difference here:
        _myCls1 = (MyClass)_MyObj;
        _myCls2 = (_MyObj as MyClass);
    }
}

另外,“一般来说”首选的方法是什么?

OP的问题仅限于特定的选角情况。标题涵盖了更多的情况。 以下是我目前能想到的所有相关选角情况的概述:

private class CBase
{
}

private class CInherited : CBase
{
}

private enum EnumTest
{
  zero,
  one,
  two
}

private static void Main (string[] args)
{
  //########## classes ##########
  // object creation, implicit cast to object
  object oBase = new CBase ();
  object oInherited = new CInherited ();

  CBase oBase2 = null;
  CInherited oInherited2 = null;
  bool bCanCast = false;

  // explicit cast using "()"
  oBase2 = (CBase)oBase;    // works
  oBase2 = (CBase)oInherited;    // works
  //oInherited2 = (CInherited)oBase;   System.InvalidCastException
  oInherited2 = (CInherited)oInherited;    // works

  // explicit cast using "as"
  oBase2 = oBase as CBase;
  oBase2 = oInherited as CBase;
  oInherited2 = oBase as CInherited;  // returns null, equals C++/CLI "dynamic_cast"
  oInherited2 = oInherited as CInherited;

  // testing with Type.IsAssignableFrom(), results (of course) equal the results of the cast operations
  bCanCast = typeof (CBase).IsAssignableFrom (oBase.GetType ());    // true
  bCanCast = typeof (CBase).IsAssignableFrom (oInherited.GetType ());    // true
  bCanCast = typeof (CInherited).IsAssignableFrom (oBase.GetType ());    // false
  bCanCast = typeof (CInherited).IsAssignableFrom (oInherited.GetType ());    // true

  //########## value types ##########
  int iValue = 2;
  double dValue = 1.1;
  EnumTest enValue = EnumTest.two;

  // implicit cast, explicit cast using "()"
  int iValue2 = iValue;   // no cast
  double dValue2 = iValue;  // implicit conversion
  EnumTest enValue2 = (EnumTest)iValue;  // conversion by explicit cast. underlying type of EnumTest is int, but explicit cast needed (error CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'test01.Program.EnumTest')

  iValue2 = (int)dValue;   // conversion by explicit cast. implicit cast not possible (error CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'int')
  dValue2 = dValue;
  enValue2 = (EnumTest)dValue;  // underlying type is int, so "1.1" beomces "1" and then "one"

  iValue2 = (int)enValue;
  dValue2 = (double)enValue;
  enValue2 = enValue;   // no cast

  // explicit cast using "as"
  // iValue2 = iValue as int;   error CS0077: The as operator must be used with a reference type or nullable type
}

其他回答

除了这里已经暴露的所有内容,我刚刚发现了一个我认为值得注意的实际差异,在显式选角之间

var x = (T) ...

相对于使用as操作符。

下面是例子:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(GenericCaster<string>(12345));
        Console.WriteLine(GenericCaster<object>(new { a = 100, b = "string" }) ?? "null");
        Console.WriteLine(GenericCaster<double>(20.4));

        //prints:
        //12345
        //null
        //20.4

        Console.WriteLine(GenericCaster2<string>(12345));
        Console.WriteLine(GenericCaster2<object>(new { a = 100, b = "string" }) ?? "null");

        //will not compile -> 20.4 does not comply due to the type constraint "T : class"
        //Console.WriteLine(GenericCaster2<double>(20.4));
    }

    static T GenericCaster<T>(object value, T defaultValue = default(T))
    {
        T castedValue;
        try
        {
            castedValue = (T) Convert.ChangeType(value, typeof(T));
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            castedValue = defaultValue;
        }

        return castedValue;
    }

    static T GenericCaster2<T>(object value, T defaultValue = default(T)) where T : class
    {
        T castedValue;
        try
        {
            castedValue = Convert.ChangeType(value, typeof(T)) as T;
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            castedValue = defaultValue;
        }

        return castedValue;
    }
}

底线:GenericCaster2不能用于结构类型。GenericCaster意志。

两者之间一个更微妙的区别是,当涉及到强制转换操作符时,"as"关键字不能用于强制转换:

public class Foo
{
    public string Value;

    public static explicit operator string(Foo f)
    {
        return f.Value;
    }

}

public class Example
{
    public void Convert()
    {
        var f = new Foo();
        f.Value = "abc";

        string cast = (string)f;
        string tryCast = f as string;
    }
}

这将不会在最后一行进行编译(尽管我认为在以前的版本中是这样),因为“as”关键字不考虑强制转换操作符。line string cast = (string)f;不过效果还不错。

as关键字的工作原理与兼容引用类型之间的显式强制转换相同,主要区别在于转换失败时它不会引发异常。相反,它在目标变量中产生一个空值。由于异常在性能方面非常昂贵,因此它被认为是一种更好的强制转换方法。

}

请忽略Jon Skeet的建议,re:避免测试-强制转换模式,即:

if (randomObject is TargetType)
{
    TargetType foo = randomObject as TargetType;
    // Do something with foo
}

认为这比强制转换和空测试花费更多的想法是错误的:

TargetType convertedRandomObject = randomObject as TargetType;
if (convertedRandomObject != null)
{
    // Do stuff with convertedRandomObject
}

这是一种不起作用的微观优化。我运行了一些实际的测试,测试-强制转换实际上比强制转换-空比较更快,而且更安全,因为如果强制转换失败,则不可能在if之外的作用域中有空引用。

如果您想知道为什么测试-强制转换更快,或者至少不会更慢,有一个简单而复杂的原因。

简单:即使是简单的编译器也会将两个类似的操作(如test-and-cast)合并为一个测试和分支。强制转换-空测试可能强制执行两个测试和一个分支,一个用于类型测试和失败时转换为空,一个用于空检查本身。至少,它们都将优化为单个测试和分支,因此测试-强制转换既不会比强制转换-空测试慢也不会快。

复杂:为什么测试-强制转换更快:强制转换-空测试将另一个变量引入到外部作用域,编译器必须实时跟踪这个变量,并且它可能无法优化掉这个变量,这取决于你的控制流有多复杂。相反,“测试-强制转换”只在分隔的作用域内引入新变量,这样编译器就知道该变量在作用域退出后失效,从而更好地优化寄存器分配。

所以,请让这个“强制转换-空测试比测试-强制转换更好”的建议死掉吧。请。测试-强制转换既安全又快速。
