对于那些关心顺序的人(即希望你的memcmp返回一个int而不是什么都没有)，. net Core 3.0(以及。net Standard 2.1也就是。net 5.0)将包括一个Span.SequenceCompareTo(…)扩展方法(加上一个Span.SequenceEqualTo)，可以用来比较两个ReadOnlySpan<T>实例(其中T: IComparable<T>)。

在最初的GitHub提案中，讨论了与跳转表计算的方法比较，将字节[]读为长[]，SIMD使用，以及对CLR实现的memcmp的p/调用。

继续向前，这应该是您比较字节数组或字节范围的首选方法(对于. net Standard 2.1 api，应该使用Span<byte>而不是byte[])，并且它足够快，您应该不再关心优化它(不，尽管在名称上有相似之处，但它的性能不像可怕的Enumerable.SequenceEqual那样糟糕)。

#if NETCOREAPP3_0_OR_GREATER
// Using the platform-native Span<T>.SequenceEqual<T>(..)
public static int Compare(byte[] range1, int offset1, byte[] range2, int offset2, int count)
{
    var span1 = range1.AsSpan(offset1, count);
    var span2 = range2.AsSpan(offset2, count);

    return span1.SequenceCompareTo(span2);
    // or, if you don't care about ordering
    // return span1.SequenceEqual(span2);
}
#else
// The most basic implementation, in platform-agnostic, safe C#
public static bool Compare(byte[] range1, int offset1, byte[] range2, int offset2, int count)
{
    // Working backwards lets the compiler optimize away bound checking after the first loop
    for (int i = count - 1; i >= 0; --i)
    {
        if (range1[offset1 + i] != range2[offset2 + i])
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

    return true;
}
#endif

我想到了许多显卡内置的块传输加速方法。但是这样你就必须按字节复制所有的数据，所以如果你不想在非托管和依赖硬件的代码中实现你的整个逻辑，这对你没有多大帮助……

Another way of optimization similar to the approach shown above would be to store as much of your data as possible in a long[] rather than a byte[] right from the start, for example if you are reading it sequentially from a binary file, or if you use a memory mapped file, read in data as long[] or single long values. Then, your comparison loop will only need 1/8th of the number of iterations it would have to do for a byte[] containing the same amount of data. It is a matter of when and how often you need to compare vs. when and how often you need to access the data in a byte-by-byte manner, e.g. to use it in an API call as a parameter in a method that expects a byte[]. In the end, you only can tell if you really know the use case...

似乎EqualBytesLongUnrolled是上述建议中最好的。

被跳过的方法(Enumerable.SequenceEqual,StructuralComparisons.StructuralEqualityComparer.Equals)不是慢速的。在265MB的数组上，我测量了这个:

抱歉，如果你正在寻找一种管理的方式，你已经正确地做了，据我所知，在BCL中没有内置的方法来做这个。

你应该添加一些初始的空检查，然后重用它，就好像它在BCL。

 using System.Linq; //SequenceEqual

 byte[] ByteArray1 = null;
 byte[] ByteArray2 = null;

 ByteArray1 = MyFunct1();
 ByteArray2 = MyFunct2();

 if (ByteArray1.SequenceEqual<byte>(ByteArray2) == true)
 {
    MessageBox.Show("Match");
 }
 else
 {
   MessageBox.Show("Don't match");
 }

我发布了一个类似的关于检查byte[]是否全是0的问题。(SIMD代码被打败了，所以我从这个答案中删除了它。)下面是我比较过的最快的代码:

static unsafe bool EqualBytesLongUnrolled (byte[] data1, byte[] data2)
{
    if (data1 == data2)
        return true;
    if (data1.Length != data2.Length)
        return false;

    fixed (byte* bytes1 = data1, bytes2 = data2) {
        int len = data1.Length;
        int rem = len % (sizeof(long) * 16);
        long* b1 = (long*)bytes1;
        long* b2 = (long*)bytes2;
        long* e1 = (long*)(bytes1 + len - rem);

        while (b1 < e1) {
            if (*(b1) != *(b2) || *(b1 + 1) != *(b2 + 1) || 
                *(b1 + 2) != *(b2 + 2) || *(b1 + 3) != *(b2 + 3) ||
                *(b1 + 4) != *(b2 + 4) || *(b1 + 5) != *(b2 + 5) || 
                *(b1 + 6) != *(b2 + 6) || *(b1 + 7) != *(b2 + 7) ||
                *(b1 + 8) != *(b2 + 8) || *(b1 + 9) != *(b2 + 9) || 
                *(b1 + 10) != *(b2 + 10) || *(b1 + 11) != *(b2 + 11) ||
                *(b1 + 12) != *(b2 + 12) || *(b1 + 13) != *(b2 + 13) || 
                *(b1 + 14) != *(b2 + 14) || *(b1 + 15) != *(b2 + 15))
                return false;
            b1 += 16;
            b2 += 16;
        }

        for (int i = 0; i < rem; i++)
            if (data1 [len - 1 - i] != data2 [len - 1 - i])
                return false;

        return true;
    }
}
