在Go中,字符串是一种基本类型,这意味着它是只读的,对它的每次操作都会创建一个新字符串。

如果我想多次连接字符串而不知道结果字符串的长度,最好的方法是什么?

最天真的做法是:

var s string
for i := 0; i < 1000; i++ {
    s += getShortStringFromSomewhere()
}
return s

但这似乎不是很有效。

package main

import (
"fmt"
)

func main() {
    var str1 = "string1"
    var str2 = "string2"
    result := make([]byte, 0)
    result = append(result, []byte(str1)...)
    result = append(result, []byte(str2)...)
    result = append(result, []byte(str1)...)
    result = append(result, []byte(str2)...)

    fmt.Println(string(result))
}

其他回答

如果你知道你要预分配的字符串的总长度,那么最有效的连接字符串的方法可能是使用内置函数拷贝。如果你事先不知道总长度,不要抄写,而是阅读其他答案。

在我的测试中,这种方法比使用字节快3倍。Buffer,并且比使用运算符+快得多(~ 12000倍)。此外,它使用更少的内存。

我创建了一个测试用例来证明这一点,结果如下:

BenchmarkConcat  1000000    64497 ns/op   502018 B/op   0 allocs/op
BenchmarkBuffer  100000000  15.5  ns/op   2 B/op        0 allocs/op
BenchmarkCopy    500000000  5.39  ns/op   0 B/op        0 allocs/op

下面是测试代码:

package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "strings"
    "testing"
)

func BenchmarkConcat(b *testing.B) {
    var str string
    for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
        str += "x"
    }
    b.StopTimer()

    if s := strings.Repeat("x", b.N); str != s {
        b.Errorf("unexpected result; got=%s, want=%s", str, s)
    }
}

func BenchmarkBuffer(b *testing.B) {
    var buffer bytes.Buffer
    for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
        buffer.WriteString("x")
    }
    b.StopTimer()

    if s := strings.Repeat("x", b.N); buffer.String() != s {
        b.Errorf("unexpected result; got=%s, want=%s", buffer.String(), s)
    }
}

func BenchmarkCopy(b *testing.B) {
    bs := make([]byte, b.N)
    bl := 0

    b.ResetTimer()
    for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
        bl += copy(bs[bl:], "x")
    }
    b.StopTimer()

    if s := strings.Repeat("x", b.N); string(bs) != s {
        b.Errorf("unexpected result; got=%s, want=%s", string(bs), s)
    }
}

// Go 1.10
func BenchmarkStringBuilder(b *testing.B) {
    var strBuilder strings.Builder

    b.ResetTimer()
    for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
        strBuilder.WriteString("x")
    }
    b.StopTimer()

    if s := strings.Repeat("x", b.N); strBuilder.String() != s {
        b.Errorf("unexpected result; got=%s, want=%s", strBuilder.String(), s)
    }
}

这是最快的解决方案,不需要 你首先需要知道或计算总的缓冲区大小:

var data []byte
for i := 0; i < 1000; i++ {
    data = append(data, getShortStringFromSomewhere()...)
}
return string(data)

根据我的基准测试,它比复制解决方案慢了20% (8.1ns / 追加而不是6.72ns),但仍然比使用bytes.Buffer快55%。

新方法:

从Go 1.10开始,有一个字符串。建造者类型,请看看这个答案的更多细节。

老方法:

使用bytes包。它有一个实现io.Writer的Buffer类型。

package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    var buffer bytes.Buffer

    for i := 0; i < 1000; i++ {
        buffer.WriteString("a")
    }

    fmt.Println(buffer.String())
}

它在O(n)时间内完成。

goutils。JoinBetween

 func JoinBetween(in []string, separator string, startIndex, endIndex int) string {
    if in == nil {
        return ""
    }

    noOfItems := endIndex - startIndex

    if noOfItems <= 0 {
        return EMPTY
    }

    var builder strings.Builder

    for i := startIndex; i < endIndex; i++ {
        if i > startIndex {
            builder.WriteString(separator)
        }
        builder.WriteString(in[i])
    }
    return builder.String()
}

pre - 201 x的答案

@cd1的基准代码和其他答案是错误的。b.N不应该在基准函数中设置。它由go测试工具动态设置,以确定测试的执行时间是否稳定。

基准测试函数应该运行相同的测试b.N次,循环中的测试应该在每次迭代中都是相同的。所以我通过添加一个内循环来解决这个问题。我还添加了一些其他解决方案的基准:

结论:

CopyPreAllocate is the fastest way; AppendPreAllocate is pretty close to No.1, but it's easier to write the code. Concat has really bad performance both for speed and memory usage. Don't use it. Buffer#Write and Buffer#WriteString are basically the same in speed, contrary to what @Dani-Br said in the comment. Considering string is indeed []byte in Go, it makes sense. bytes.Buffer basically use the same solution as Copy with extra book keeping and other stuff. Copy and Append use a bootstrap size of 64, the same as bytes.Buffer Append use more memory and allocs, I think it's related to the grow algorithm it use. It's not growing memory as fast as bytes.Buffer

建议:

对于OP需要的简单任务,我将使用Append或AppendPreAllocate。它足够快而且容易使用。 如果需要同时读取和写入缓冲区,则使用字节。当然是缓冲区。这就是它的设计目的。
