在.NET中,GetHashCode方法在整个.NET基类库的许多地方都使用。正确执行它对于在集合中或确定相等时快速查找项目尤为重要。

对于如何为自定义类实现GetHashCode,是否有标准算法或最佳实践,以便不会降低性能?

这是我的哈希码助手。它的优点是它使用泛型类型参数,因此不会导致装箱:

public static class HashHelper
{
    public static int GetHashCode<T1, T2>(T1 arg1, T2 arg2)
    {
         unchecked
         {
             return 31 * arg1.GetHashCode() + arg2.GetHashCode();
         }
    }

    public static int GetHashCode<T1, T2, T3>(T1 arg1, T2 arg2, T3 arg3)
    {
        unchecked
        {
            int hash = arg1.GetHashCode();
            hash = 31 * hash + arg2.GetHashCode();
            return 31 * hash + arg3.GetHashCode();
        }
    }

    public static int GetHashCode<T1, T2, T3, T4>(T1 arg1, T2 arg2, T3 arg3, 
        T4 arg4)
    {
        unchecked
        {
            int hash = arg1.GetHashCode();
            hash = 31 * hash + arg2.GetHashCode();
            hash = 31 * hash + arg3.GetHashCode();
            return 31 * hash + arg4.GetHashCode();
        }
    }

    public static int GetHashCode<T>(T[] list)
    {
        unchecked
        {
            int hash = 0;
            foreach (var item in list)
            {
                hash = 31 * hash + item.GetHashCode();
            }
            return hash;
        }
    }

    public static int GetHashCode<T>(IEnumerable<T> list)
    {
        unchecked
        {
            int hash = 0;
            foreach (var item in list)
            {
                hash = 31 * hash + item.GetHashCode();
            }
            return hash;
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets a hashcode for a collection for that the order of items 
    /// does not matter.
    /// So {1, 2, 3} and {3, 2, 1} will get same hash code.
    /// </summary>
    public static int GetHashCodeForOrderNoMatterCollection<T>(
        IEnumerable<T> list)
    {
        unchecked
        {
            int hash = 0;
            int count = 0;
            foreach (var item in list)
            {
                hash += item.GetHashCode();
                count++;
            }
            return 31 * hash + count.GetHashCode();
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Alternative way to get a hashcode is to use a fluent 
    /// interface like this:<br />
    /// return 0.CombineHashCode(field1).CombineHashCode(field2).
    ///     CombineHashCode(field3);
    /// </summary>
    public static int CombineHashCode<T>(this int hashCode, T arg)
    {
        unchecked
        {
            return 31 * hashCode + arg.GetHashCode();   
        }
    }

此外,它还具有扩展方法来提供流畅的界面,因此您可以这样使用它:

public override int GetHashCode()
{
    return HashHelper.GetHashCode(Manufacturer, PartN, Quantity);
}

或者像这样:

public override int GetHashCode()
{
    return 0.CombineHashCode(Manufacturer)
        .CombineHashCode(PartN)
        .CombineHashCode(Quantity);
}

其他回答

微软引领了几种哈希方法。。。

//for classes that contain a single int value
return this.value;

//for classes that contain multiple int value
return x ^ y;

//for classes that contain single number bigger than int    
return ((int)value ^ (int)(value >> 32)); 

//for classes that contain class instance fields which inherit from object
return obj1.GetHashCode();

//for classes that contain multiple class instance fields which inherit from object
return obj1.GetHashCode() ^ obj2.GetHashCode() ^ obj3.GetHashCode(); 

我可以猜测,对于多个大整数,您可以使用这个:

int a=((int)value1 ^ (int)(value1 >> 32));
int b=((int)value2 ^ (int)(value2 >> 32));
int c=((int)value3 ^ (int)(value3 >> 32));
return a ^ b ^ c;

对于多类型也是如此:首先使用GetHashCode()将所有类型转换为int然后int值将被xor'ed,结果是您的哈希值。

对于那些使用哈希作为ID(我的意思是一个唯一的值)的人来说,哈希自然被限制在数字个数,我认为哈希算法是5个字节,至少是MD5。

您可以将多个值转换为哈希值,其中一些值是相同的,因此不要将其用作标识符。(也许有一天我会使用你的组件)

这是Jon Skeet发布的上述算法的另一个流畅实现,但不包括分配或装箱操作:

public static class Hash
{
    public const int Base = 17;

    public static int HashObject(this int hash, object obj)
    {
        unchecked { return hash * 23 + (obj == null ? 0 : obj.GetHashCode()); }
    }

    public static int HashValue<T>(this int hash, T value)
        where T : struct
    {
        unchecked { return hash * 23 + value.GetHashCode(); }
    }
}

用法:

public class MyType<T>
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string Description { get; set; }

    public int Value { get; set; }

    public IEnumerable<T> Children { get; set; }

    public override int GetHashCode()
    {
        return Hash.Base
            .HashObject(this.Name)
            .HashObject(this.Description)
            .HashValue(this.Value)
            .HashObject(this.Children);
    }
}

由于泛型类型约束,编译器将确保不使用类调用HashValue。但是没有编译器支持HashObject,因为添加泛型参数也会添加装箱操作。

这是我的简单方法。我使用的是经典的生成器模式。它是类型安全的(无装箱/拆箱),并且与.NET 2.0兼容(无扩展方法等)。

它的用法如下:

public override int GetHashCode()
{
    HashBuilder b = new HashBuilder();
    b.AddItems(this.member1, this.member2, this.member3);
    return b.Result;
} 

这里是实际的生成器类:

internal class HashBuilder
{
    private const int Prime1 = 17;
    private const int Prime2 = 23;
    private int result = Prime1;

    public HashBuilder()
    {
    }

    public HashBuilder(int startHash)
    {
        this.result = startHash;
    }

    public int Result
    {
        get
        {
            return this.result;
        }
    }

    public void AddItem<T>(T item)
    {
        unchecked
        {
            this.result = this.result * Prime2 + item.GetHashCode();
        }
    }

    public void AddItems<T1, T2>(T1 item1, T2 item2)
    {
        this.AddItem(item1);
        this.AddItem(item2);
    }

    public void AddItems<T1, T2, T3>(T1 item1, T2 item2, T3 item3)
    {
        this.AddItem(item1);
        this.AddItem(item2);
        this.AddItem(item3);
    }

    public void AddItems<T1, T2, T3, T4>(T1 item1, T2 item2, T3 item3, 
        T4 item4)
    {
        this.AddItem(item1);
        this.AddItem(item2);
        this.AddItem(item3);
        this.AddItem(item4);
    }

    public void AddItems<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5>(T1 item1, T2 item2, T3 item3, 
        T4 item4, T5 item5)
    {
        this.AddItem(item1);
        this.AddItem(item2);
        this.AddItem(item3);
        this.AddItem(item4);
        this.AddItem(item5);
    }        

    public void AddItems<T>(params T[] items)
    {
        foreach (T item in items)
        {
            this.AddItem(item);
        }
    }
}

ValueTuple-C#7更新

正如@cactuaroid在评论中提到的,可以使用值元组。这节省了一些击键,更重要的是纯粹在堆栈上执行(无垃圾):

(PropA, PropB, PropC, PropD).GetHashCode();

(注意:使用匿名类型的原始技术似乎在堆上创建了一个对象,即垃圾,因为匿名类型被实现为类,尽管编译器可能会对此进行优化。对这些选项进行基准测试会很有趣,但元组选项应该更优。)

匿名类型(原始答案)

Microsoft已经提供了一个很好的通用HashCode生成器:只需将属性/字段值复制到匿名类型并对其进行哈希:

new { PropA, PropB, PropC, PropD }.GetHashCode();

这适用于任何数量的财产。它不使用拳击。它只是使用了框架中已经实现的匿名类型的算法。

这是我使用JonSkeet实现的助手类。

public static class HashCode
{
    public const int Start = 17;

    public static int Hash<T>(this int hash, T obj)
    {
        var h = EqualityComparer<T>.Default.GetHashCode(obj);
        return unchecked((hash * 31) + h);
    }
}

用法:

public override int GetHashCode()
{
    return HashCode.Start
        .Hash(_field1)
        .Hash(_field2)
        .Hash(_field3);
}

如果要避免为System.Int32编写扩展方法:

public readonly struct HashCode
{
    private readonly int _value;

    public HashCode(int value) => _value = value;

    public static HashCode Start { get; } = new HashCode(17);

    public static implicit operator int(HashCode hash) => hash._value;

    public HashCode Hash<T>(T obj)
    {
        var h = EqualityComparer<T>.Default.GetHashCode(obj);
        return unchecked(new HashCode((_value * 31) + h));
    }

    public override int GetHashCode() => _value;
}

它仍然避免了任何堆分配,使用方式完全相同:

public override int GetHashCode()
{
    // This time `HashCode.Start` is not an `Int32`, it's a `HashCode` instance.
    // And the result is implicitly converted to `Int32`.
    return HashCode.Start
        .Hash(_field1)
        .Hash(_field2)     
        .Hash(_field3);
}
