我对当前的答案做了一些基准测试，发现了一些有趣的事实。

使用BinarySerializer=>https://stackoverflow.com/a/78612/6338072

使用XmlSerializer=>https://stackoverflow.com/a/50150204/6338072

使用Activator.CreateInstance=>https://stackoverflow.com/a/56691124/6338072

这些是结果

BenchmarkDotNet=v0.13.1, OS=Windows 10.0.18363.1734 (1909/November2019Update/19H2)

Intel Core i5-6200U CPU 2.30GHz（Skylake），1个CPU，4个逻辑核和2个物理核[主机]：.NET Framework 4.8（4.8.4400.0），X86 LegacyJIT默认作业：.NET Framework 4.8（4.8.4400.0），X86 LegacyJIT

我喜欢这样的Copyconstructors：

    public AnyObject(AnyObject anyObject)
    {
        foreach (var property in typeof(AnyObject).GetProperties())
        {
            property.SetValue(this, property.GetValue(anyObject));
        }
        foreach (var field in typeof(AnyObject).GetFields())
        {
            field.SetValue(this, field.GetValue(anyObject));
        }
    }

如果您有更多内容要复制，请添加它们

下面是一个深度拷贝实现：

public static object CloneObject(object opSource)
{
    //grab the type and create a new instance of that type
    Type opSourceType = opSource.GetType();
    object opTarget = CreateInstanceOfType(opSourceType);

    //grab the properties
    PropertyInfo[] opPropertyInfo = opSourceType.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

    //iterate over the properties and if it has a 'set' method assign it from the source TO the target
    foreach (PropertyInfo item in opPropertyInfo)
    {
        if (item.CanWrite)
        {
            //value types can simply be 'set'
            if (item.PropertyType.IsValueType || item.PropertyType.IsEnum || item.PropertyType.Equals(typeof(System.String)))
            {
                item.SetValue(opTarget, item.GetValue(opSource, null), null);
            }
            //object/complex types need to recursively call this method until the end of the tree is reached
            else
            {
                object opPropertyValue = item.GetValue(opSource, null);
                if (opPropertyValue == null)
                {
                    item.SetValue(opTarget, null, null);
                }
                else
                {
                    item.SetValue(opTarget, CloneObject(opPropertyValue), null);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    //return the new item
    return opTarget;
}

使用IClonable接口可以花费多少精力是令人难以置信的，尤其是当您有大量的类层次结构时。MemberwiseColone的工作方式也很奇怪——它甚至不能完全克隆普通的List类型的结构。

当然，串行化最有趣的困境是串行化反向引用——例如，具有子-父关系的类层次结构。我怀疑二进制序列化程序能否在这种情况下帮助您。（最终将导致递归循环+堆栈溢出）。

不知怎么的，我喜欢这里提出的解决方案：如何在.NET（特别是C#）中对对象进行深度复制？

然而，它不支持Lists，并补充说，该支持还考虑到了重新养育子女的问题。对于我制定的仅为父项的规则，该字段或属性应命名为“parent”，则DeepClone将忽略它。您可能需要决定自己的反向引用规则——对于树层次结构，它可能是“左/右”等。。。

问：我为什么选择这个答案？

如果您想要.NET所能达到的最快速度，请选择此答案。如果您想要一种非常简单的克隆方法，请忽略这个答案。

换言之，除非您有需要解决的性能瓶颈，并且您可以使用分析器来证明这一点，否则请使用另一个答案。

比其他方法快10倍

执行深度克隆的以下方法是：

比任何涉及序列化/反序列化的速度快10倍；非常接近.NET所能达到的理论最大速度。

方法。。。

为了达到最高速度，可以使用Nested MemberwiseClone进行深度复制。它与复制值结构的速度几乎相同，并且比（a）反射或（b）序列化（如本页其他答案所述）快得多。

请注意，如果使用Nested MemberwiseColone进行深度复制，则必须为类中的每个嵌套级别手动实现ShallowCopy，以及调用所有所述ShallowCopy方法以创建完整克隆的DeepCopy。这很简单：总共只有几行，请参见下面的演示代码。

下面是显示100000个克隆的相对性能差异的代码输出：

嵌套结构上的嵌套MemberwiseClone为1.08秒嵌套类上的嵌套MemberwiseClone为4.77秒39.93秒用于序列化/反序列化

在类上使用Nested MemberwiseColone几乎与复制结构一样快，而且复制结构的速度非常接近.NET所能达到的理论最大速度。

Demo 1 of shallow and deep copy, using classes and MemberwiseClone:
  Create Bob
    Bob.Age=30, Bob.Purchase.Description=Lamborghini
  Clone Bob >> BobsSon
  Adjust BobsSon details
    BobsSon.Age=2, BobsSon.Purchase.Description=Toy car
  Proof of deep copy: If BobsSon is a true clone, then adjusting BobsSon details will not affect Bob:
    Bob.Age=30, Bob.Purchase.Description=Lamborghini
  Elapsed time: 00:00:04.7795670,30000000

Demo 2 of shallow and deep copy, using structs and value copying:
  Create Bob
    Bob.Age=30, Bob.Purchase.Description=Lamborghini
  Clone Bob >> BobsSon
  Adjust BobsSon details:
    BobsSon.Age=2, BobsSon.Purchase.Description=Toy car
  Proof of deep copy: If BobsSon is a true clone, then adjusting BobsSon details will not affect Bob:
    Bob.Age=30, Bob.Purchase.Description=Lamborghini
  Elapsed time: 00:00:01.0875454,30000000

Demo 3 of deep copy, using class and serialize/deserialize:
  Elapsed time: 00:00:39.9339425,30000000

为了了解如何使用MemberwiseCopy进行深度复制，这里是用于生成上述时间的演示项目：

// Nested MemberwiseClone example. 
// Added to demo how to deep copy a reference class.
[Serializable] // Not required if using MemberwiseClone, only used for speed comparison using serialization.
public class Person
{
    public Person(int age, string description)
    {
        this.Age = age;
        this.Purchase.Description = description;
    }
    [Serializable] // Not required if using MemberwiseClone
    public class PurchaseType
    {
        public string Description;
        public PurchaseType ShallowCopy()
        {
            return (PurchaseType)this.MemberwiseClone();
        }
    }
    public PurchaseType Purchase = new PurchaseType();
    public int Age;
    // Add this if using nested MemberwiseClone.
    // This is a class, which is a reference type, so cloning is more difficult.
    public Person ShallowCopy()
    {
        return (Person)this.MemberwiseClone();
    }
    // Add this if using nested MemberwiseClone.
    // This is a class, which is a reference type, so cloning is more difficult.
    public Person DeepCopy()
    {
            // Clone the root ...
        Person other = (Person) this.MemberwiseClone();
            // ... then clone the nested class.
        other.Purchase = this.Purchase.ShallowCopy();
        return other;
    }
}
// Added to demo how to copy a value struct (this is easy - a deep copy happens by default)
public struct PersonStruct
{
    public PersonStruct(int age, string description)
    {
        this.Age = age;
        this.Purchase.Description = description;
    }
    public struct PurchaseType
    {
        public string Description;
    }
    public PurchaseType Purchase;
    public int Age;
    // This is a struct, which is a value type, so everything is a clone by default.
    public PersonStruct ShallowCopy()
    {
        return (PersonStruct)this;
    }
    // This is a struct, which is a value type, so everything is a clone by default.
    public PersonStruct DeepCopy()
    {
        return (PersonStruct)this;
    }
}
// Added only for a speed comparison.
public class MyDeepCopy
{
    public static T DeepCopy<T>(T obj)
    {
        object result = null;
        using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            var formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
            formatter.Serialize(ms, obj);
            ms.Position = 0;
            result = (T)formatter.Deserialize(ms);
            ms.Close();
        }
        return (T)result;
    }
}

}

再次注意，如果您使用Nested MemberwiseColone进行深度复制，则必须为类中的每个嵌套级别手动实现ShallowCopy，以及调用所有所述ShallowCopy方法以创建完整克隆的DeepCopy。这很简单：总共只有几行，请参见上面的演示代码。

值类型与引用类型

请注意，在克隆对象时，“结构”和“类”之间有很大的区别：

如果您有一个“struct”，它是一个值类型，因此您可以复制它，内容将被克隆（但除非您使用本文中的技术，否则它只能进行浅层克隆）。如果你有一个“类”，它是一个引用类型，所以如果你复制它，你所做的就是复制指向它的指针。要创建一个真正的克隆，你必须更具创造力，利用值类型和引用类型之间的差异，从而在内存中创建原始对象的另一个副本。

请参见值类型和引用类型之间的差异。

帮助调试的校验和

错误地克隆对象会导致很难确定错误。在生产代码中，我倾向于实现一个校验和，以双重检查对象是否已正确克隆，并且没有被另一个引用损坏。此校验和可以在发布模式下关闭。我发现这个方法非常有用：通常，您只想克隆对象的一部分，而不是整个对象。

对于将许多线程与许多其他线程分离非常有用

该代码的一个优秀用例是将嵌套类或结构的克隆送入队列，以实现生产者/消费者模式。

我们可以让一个（或多个）线程修改自己拥有的类，然后将该类的完整副本推送到并发队列中。然后，我们有一个（或多个）线程将这些类的副本拉出并处理它们。

这在实践中非常有效，并允许我们将许多线程（生产者）与一个或多个线程（消费者）分离。

而且这种方法也非常快：如果我们使用嵌套结构，它比序列化/反序列化嵌套类快35倍，并且允许我们利用机器上所有可用的线程。

使现代化

显然，ExpressMapper与上面的手工编码一样快，甚至更快。我可能需要看看它们与探查器的比较。

另一个JSON.NET答案。此版本适用于不实现ISerializable的类。

public static class Cloner
{
    public static T Clone<T>(T source)
    {
        if (ReferenceEquals(source, null))
            return default(T);

        var settings = new JsonSerializerSettings { ContractResolver = new ContractResolver() };

        return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(source, settings), settings);
    }

    class ContractResolver : DefaultContractResolver
    {
        protected override IList<JsonProperty> CreateProperties(Type type, MemberSerialization memberSerialization)
        {
            var props = type.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance)
                .Select(p => base.CreateProperty(p, memberSerialization))
                .Union(type.GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance)
                    .Select(f => base.CreateProperty(f, memberSerialization)))
                .ToList();
            props.ForEach(p => { p.Writable = true; p.Readable = true; });
            return props;
        }
    }
}
