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。

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;
    }
}

测量两个256MB字节数组:

UnsafeCompare                           : 86,8784 ms
EqualBytesSimd                          : 71,5125 ms
EqualBytesSimdUnrolled                  : 73,1917 ms
EqualBytesLongUnrolled                  : 39,8623 ms

如果你不反对这样做,你可以导入j#程序集“vjslib.dll”并使用它的数组。= (byte[], byte[])方法…

如果有人嘲笑你,不要怪我……


编辑:为了它的价值,我使用Reflector来反汇编代码,下面是它的样子:

public static bool equals(sbyte[] a1, sbyte[] a2)
{
  if (a1 == a2)
  {
    return true;
  }
  if ((a1 != null) && (a2 != null))
  {
    if (a1.Length != a2.Length)
    {
      return false;
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < a1.Length; i++)
    {
      if (a1[i] != a2[i])
      {
        return false;
      }
    }
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}

简单的回答是:

    public bool Compare(byte[] b1, byte[] b2)
    {
        return Encoding.ASCII.GetString(b1) == Encoding.ASCII.GetString(b2);
    }

通过这种方式,您可以使用优化的. net字符串比较来进行字节数组比较,而不需要编写不安全的代码。这是它如何在后台完成的:

private unsafe static bool EqualsHelper(String strA, String strB)
{
    Contract.Requires(strA != null);
    Contract.Requires(strB != null);
    Contract.Requires(strA.Length == strB.Length);

    int length = strA.Length;

    fixed (char* ap = &strA.m_firstChar) fixed (char* bp = &strB.m_firstChar)
    {
        char* a = ap;
        char* b = bp;

        // Unroll the loop

        #if AMD64
            // For the AMD64 bit platform we unroll by 12 and
            // check three qwords at a time. This is less code
            // than the 32 bit case and is shorter
            // pathlength.

            while (length >= 12)
            {
                if (*(long*)a     != *(long*)b)     return false;
                if (*(long*)(a+4) != *(long*)(b+4)) return false;
                if (*(long*)(a+8) != *(long*)(b+8)) return false;
                a += 12; b += 12; length -= 12;
            }
       #else
           while (length >= 10)
           {
               if (*(int*)a != *(int*)b) return false;
               if (*(int*)(a+2) != *(int*)(b+2)) return false;
               if (*(int*)(a+4) != *(int*)(b+4)) return false;
               if (*(int*)(a+6) != *(int*)(b+6)) return false;
               if (*(int*)(a+8) != *(int*)(b+8)) return false;
               a += 10; b += 10; length -= 10;
           }
       #endif

        // This depends on the fact that the String objects are
        // always zero terminated and that the terminating zero is not included
        // in the length. For odd string sizes, the last compare will include
        // the zero terminator.
        while (length > 0)
        {
            if (*(int*)a != *(int*)b) break;
            a += 2; b += 2; length -= 2;
        }

        return (length <= 0);
    }
}

P/调用能力激活!

[DllImport("msvcrt.dll", CallingConvention=CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
static extern int memcmp(byte[] b1, byte[] b2, long count);

static bool ByteArrayCompare(byte[] b1, byte[] b2)
{
    // Validate buffers are the same length.
    // This also ensures that the count does not exceed the length of either buffer.  
    return b1.Length == b2.Length && memcmp(b1, b2, b1.Length) == 0;
}

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...

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。
