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。

受到ArekBulski发布的EqualBytesLongUnrolled方法的启发,我确定了一个附加优化的解决方案。在我的实例中,数组中的数组差异往往在数组的尾部附近。在测试中,我发现当这种情况发生在大型数组中时,能够以相反的顺序比较数组元素使这种解决方案比基于memcmp的解决方案获得了巨大的性能提升。下面是解决方案:

public enum CompareDirection { Forward, Backward }

private static unsafe bool UnsafeEquals(byte[] a, byte[] b, CompareDirection direction = CompareDirection.Forward)
{
    // returns when a and b are same array or both null
    if (a == b) return true;

    // if either is null or different lengths, can't be equal
    if (a == null || b == null || a.Length != b.Length)
        return false;

    const int UNROLLED = 16;                // count of longs 'unrolled' in optimization
    int size = sizeof(long) * UNROLLED;     // 128 bytes (min size for 'unrolled' optimization)
    int len = a.Length;
    int n = len / size;         // count of full 128 byte segments
    int r = len % size;         // count of remaining 'unoptimized' bytes

    // pin the arrays and access them via pointers
    fixed (byte* pb_a = a, pb_b = b)
    {
        if (r > 0 && direction == CompareDirection.Backward)
        {
            byte* pa = pb_a + len - 1;
            byte* pb = pb_b + len - 1;
            byte* phead = pb_a + len - r;
            while(pa >= phead)
            {
                if (*pa != *pb) return false;
                pa--;
                pb--;
            }
        }

        if (n > 0)
        {
            int nOffset = n * size;
            if (direction == CompareDirection.Forward)
            {
                long* pa = (long*)pb_a;
                long* pb = (long*)pb_b;
                long* ptail = (long*)(pb_a + nOffset);
                while (pa < ptail)

其他回答

我会使用不安全的代码并运行for循环比较Int32指针。

也许您还应该考虑检查数组是否为非空。

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...

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。

. net 3.5及更新版本有一个新的公共类型System.Data.Linq.Binary,它封装了byte[]。它实现了IEquatable<Binary>,(实际上)比较两个字节数组。注意System.Data.Linq.Binary也有来自byte[]的隐式转换运算符。

MSDN文档:System.Data.Linq.Binary

Equals方法的反射器反编译:

private bool EqualsTo(Binary binary)
{
    if (this != binary)
    {
        if (binary == null)
        {
            return false;
        }
        if (this.bytes.Length != binary.bytes.Length)
        {
            return false;
        }
        if (this.hashCode != binary.hashCode)
        {
            return false;
        }
        int index = 0;
        int length = this.bytes.Length;
        while (index < length)
        {
            if (this.bytes[index] != binary.bytes[index])
            {
                return false;
            }
            index++;
        }
    }
    return true;
}

有趣的是,只有当两个Binary对象的哈希值相同时,它们才会进行逐字节比较循环。然而,这是以在二进制对象的构造函数中计算哈希值为代价的(通过使用for loop:-)遍历数组)。

上述实现意味着,在最坏的情况下,您可能必须遍历数组三次:首先计算array1的哈希值,然后计算array2的哈希值,最后(因为这是最坏的情况,长度和哈希值相等)比较array1中的字节和数组2中的字节。

总的来说,即使System.Data.Linq.Binary被内置到BCL中,我不认为这是比较两个字节数组的最快方法:-|。

 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");
 }
