我很惊讶没有人提到使用LinkedList作为编写专业类的基础。

通常我们不需要各种集合类的完整API，如果您编写的主要是功能性副作用的免费代码，尽可能使用不可变的类，那么您实际上不会希望改变集合，以支持各种快照实现。

LinkedList solves some difficult problems of creating snapshot copies/clones of large collections. I also use it to create "threadsafe" enumerators to enumerate over the collection. I can cheat, because I know that I'm not changing the collection in any way other than appending, I can keep track of the list size, and only lock on changes to list size. Then my enumerator code simply enumerates from 0 to n for any thread that wants a "snapshot" of the append only collection, that will be guaranteed to represent a "snapshot" of the collection at any moment in time, regardless of what other threads are appending to the head of the collection.

我非常确定大多数需求通常非常简单，您只需要2或3个方法。编写一个真正的泛型库是非常困难的，但解决您自己的代码需求有时可以通过一两个技巧很容易。

LinkedList和优秀的函数式编程万岁。

干杯,……爱你们! 艾尔

你用ConcurrentList做什么?

在线程世界中，随机访问容器的概念并不像它看起来那样有用。该声明

  if (i < MyConcurrentList.Count)  
      x = MyConcurrentList[i]; 

总的来说仍然不是线程安全的。

与其创建ConcurrentList，不如尝试使用现有的内容构建解决方案。最常见的类是ConcurrentBag，尤其是BlockingCollection。

如果不需要处理太多项，无锁复制和写入方法非常有效。 下面是我写的一个类:

public class CopyAndWriteList<T>
{
    public static List<T> Clear(List<T> list)
    {
        var a = new List<T>(list);
        a.Clear();
        return a;
    }

    public static List<T> Add(List<T> list, T item)
    {
        var a = new List<T>(list);
        a.Add(item);
        return a;
    }

    public static List<T> RemoveAt(List<T> list, int index)
    {
        var a = new List<T>(list);
        a.RemoveAt(index);
        return a;
    }

    public static List<T> Remove(List<T> list, T item)
    {
        var a = new List<T>(list);
        a.Remove(item);
        return a;
    }

}

使用示例: orders_BUY = CopyAndWriteList.Clear(orders_BUY);

我实现了一个类似于Brian的方法。我的情况不同:

我直接管理数组。 我没有在try块中输入锁。 我使用yield return生成枚举器。 我支持锁递归。这允许在迭代期间从列表中读取。 我尽可能使用可升级的读锁。 DoSync和GetSync方法允许需要独占访问列表的顺序交互。

代码:

public class ConcurrentList<T> : IList<T>, IDisposable
{
    private ReaderWriterLockSlim _lock = new ReaderWriterLockSlim(LockRecursionPolicy.SupportsRecursion);
    private int _count = 0;

System.Collections.Generic。List<t>对于多个读取器来说已经是线程安全的。试图使它对多个写入器是线程安全的是没有意义的。(原因Henk和Stephen已经提到了)

没有ConcurrentList的原因是因为它根本不能被写入。原因是在IList中有几个重要的操作依赖于索引，而这根本行不通。例如:

int catIndex = list.IndexOf("cat");
list.Insert(catIndex, "dog");

作者所追求的效果是在“cat”之前插入“dog”，但在多线程环境中，这两行代码之间的列表可能发生任何事情。例如，另一个线程可能执行list. removeat(0)，将整个列表向左移动，但关键的是，catIndex不会改变。这里的影响是Insert操作实际上将“狗”放在猫之后，而不是在它之前。

The several implementations that you see offered as "answers" to this question are well-meaning, but as the above shows, they don't offer reliable results. If you really want list-like semantics in a multithreaded environment, you can't get there by putting locks inside the list implementation methods. You have to ensure that any index you use lives entirely inside the context of the lock. The upshot is that you can use a List in a multithreaded environment with the right locking, but the list itself cannot be made to exist in that world.

如果你认为你需要一个并发列表，实际上只有两种可能:

你真正需要的是一个ConcurrentBag 您需要创建自己的集合，可能使用List和自己的并发控制来实现。

If you have a ConcurrentBag and are in a position where you need to pass it as an IList, then you have a problem, because the method you're calling has specified that they might try to do something like I did above with the cat & dog. In most worlds, what that means is that the method you're calling is simply not built to work in a multi-threaded environment. That means you either refactor it so that it is or, if you can't, you're going to have to handle it very carefully. You you'll almost certainly be required to create your own collection with its own locks, and call the offending method within a lock.
