我一直想知道,在一般情况下,在循环之前声明一个丢弃的变量,而不是在循环内部重复,使任何(性能)差异?
Java中的一个(非常无意义的)例子:
A)循环前声明:
double intermediateResult;
for(int i=0; i < 1000; i++){
intermediateResult = i;
System.out.println(intermediateResult);
}
B)声明(重复)内部循环:
for(int i=0; i < 1000; i++){
double intermediateResult = i;
System.out.println(intermediateResult);
}
哪个更好,a还是b?
我怀疑重复的变量声明(例b)在理论上会产生更多的开销,但编译器足够聪明,所以这无关紧要。例b的优点是更紧凑,并且将变量的作用域限制在使用它的地方。尽管如此,我还是倾向于根据示例a编写代码。
编辑:我对Java案例特别感兴趣。
我一直认为,如果你在循环中声明变量,那么你就是在浪费内存。如果你有这样的东西:
for(;;) {
Object o = new Object();
}
然后,不仅需要为每次迭代创建对象,还需要为每个对象分配一个新的引用。看起来,如果垃圾收集器很慢,那么就会有一堆需要清理的悬空引用。
然而,如果你有这样的情况:
Object o;
for(;;) {
o = new Object();
}
然后,您只需创建一个引用,并每次为它分配一个新对象。当然,它可能需要更长的时间才能超出作用域,但这时只需要处理一个悬空引用。
以下是我在。net中编写和编译的内容。
double r0;
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
r0 = i*i;
Console.WriteLine(r0);
}
for (int j = 0; j < 1000; j++) {
double r1 = j*j;
Console.WriteLine(r1);
}
这是我从。net Reflector中得到的,当CIL被渲染回代码时。
for (int i = 0; i < 0x3e8; i++)
{
double r0 = i * i;
Console.WriteLine(r0);
}
for (int j = 0; j < 0x3e8; j++)
{
double r1 = j * j;
Console.WriteLine(r1);
}
So both look exactly same after compilation. In managed languages code is converted into CL/byte code and at time of execution it's converted into machine language. So in machine language a double may not even be created on the stack. It may just be a register as code reflect that it is a temporary variable for WriteLine function. There are a whole set optimization rules just for loops. So the average guy shouldn't be worried about it, especially in managed languages. There are cases when you can optimize manage code, for example, if you have to concatenate a large number of strings using just string a; a+=anotherstring[i] vs using StringBuilder. There is very big difference in performance between both. There are a lot of such cases where the compiler cannot optimize your code, because it cannot figure out what is intended in a bigger scope. But it can pretty much optimize basic things for you.
