我怎样才能做得快呢?

当然我可以这样做:

static bool ByteArrayCompare(byte[] a1, byte[] a2)
{
    if (a1.Length != a2.Length)
        return false;

    for (int i=0; i<a1.Length; i++)
        if (a1[i]!=a2[i])
            return false;

    return true;
}

但我正在寻找一个BCL函数或一些高度优化的已证明的方法来做到这一点。

java.util.Arrays.equals((sbyte[])(Array)a1, (sbyte[])(Array)a2);

工作得很好,但这似乎不适用于x64。

注意我的快速回答。

几乎可以肯定,这个版本比这里给出的任何其他版本都要慢得多,但编写起来很有趣。

static bool ByteArrayEquals(byte[] a1, byte[] a2) 
{
    return a1.Zip(a2, (l, r) => l == r).All(x => x);
}

如果您正在寻找一个非常快速的字节数组相等比较器,我建议您看看STSdb Labs的这篇文章:字节数组相等比较器。它提供了byte[]数组相等比较的一些最快的实现,并进行了性能测试和总结。

你也可以关注这些实现:

bigendianbytearraycompararer -快速字节[]数组从左到右的比较器(BigEndian) bigendianbytearrayequalitycompararer - -快速字节[]从左到右的相等比较器(BigEndian) 从右到左的快速字节数组比较器(LittleEndian) littleendianbytearrayequalitycompararer -快速字节[]从右向左的相等比较器(LittleEndian)

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。

我使用附带的。net 4.7发布版本做了一些测量,没有附带调试器。我认为人们一直在使用错误的度量,因为如果你关心这里的速度,你所关心的是计算两个字节数组是否相等需要多长时间。即以字节为单位的吞吐量。

StructuralComparison :              4.6 MiB/s
for                  :            274.5 MiB/s
ToUInt32             :            263.6 MiB/s
ToUInt64             :            474.9 MiB/s
memcmp               :           8500.8 MiB/s

正如你所看到的,没有比memcmp更好的方法了,而且它快了几个数量级。简单的for循环是次优选择。我仍然不明白为什么微软不能简单地包含一个缓冲区。比较方法。

我开发了一个方法,稍微击败memcmp() (plinth的答案)和非常轻微击败EqualBytesLongUnrolled() (Arek Bulski的答案)在我的PC上。基本上,它以4而不是8展开循环。
