.net开关语句散列或索引?

.Net 4(或任何以前的版本)是否对基于string的较长开关语句执行任何types的优化?

我正在解决一个潜在的性能瓶颈,由于一些长查找匹配string的switch语句,我一直认为这些是在线性时间(或接近线性search,即不使用索引来快速find匹配串)。 但是,这似乎是.Net可以优化的一个明显的领域,所以我认为我会检查是否是这种情况。

这是我最近的一个衍生问题: 索引切换语句,还是等价的? .net,C#

编译下面的代码。

 public static int Main(string[] args) { switch (args[0]) { case "x": return 1; case "y": return 2; case "z": return 3; } return 0; } 

现在使用Reflector或ILDASM来检查C#编译器生成的IL。 继续添加case语句并反编译并观察结果。

  • 如果case语句的数量很less,那么编译器会发出一个顺序的相等比较。
  • 如果case语句的数量很大,那么编译器会发出一个Dictionary查找。

我使用的是C#3.0编译器,我发现这个策略在7个case语句中改变了。 我怀疑你会看到类似C#4.0和其他的东西。

更新:

我应该指出,你将在IL输出中看到对Dictionary.Add调用,在那里它将构build字典供以后使用。 不要被愚蠢地认为每次都会发生这种情况。 编译器实际上是生成一个单独的静态类,并对其进行内联静态初始化。 请特别注意L_0026的指示。 如果类已经被初始化,那么分支将跳过Add调用。

 L_0021: ldsfld class [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2<string, int32> <PrivateImplementationDetails>{816396DD-F271-4C12-83D0-CC9C9CD67AD6}::$$method0x6000001-1 L_0026: brtrue.s L_0089 L_0028: ldc.i4.7 L_0029: newobj instance void [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2<string, int32>::.ctor(int32) L_002e: dup L_002f: ldstr "x" L_0034: ldc.i4.0 L_0035: call instance void [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2<string, int32>::Add(!0, !1) L_003a: dup L_003b: ldstr "y" L_0040: ldc.i4.1 L_0041: call instance void [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2<string, int32>::Add(!0, !1) L_0046: dup L_0047: ldstr "z" L_004c: ldc.i4.2 L_004d: call instance void [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2<string, int32>::Add(!0, !1) 

另外请注意,字典实际上包含从原始string到整数的映射。 这个整数用于在IL中制定一个单独的开关。

 L_0089: volatile. L_008b: ldsfld class [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2<string, int32> <PrivateImplementationDetails>{816396DD-F271-4C12-83D0-CC9C9CD67AD6}::$$method0x6000001-1 L_0090: ldloc.2 L_0091: ldloca.s CS$0$0002 L_0093: call instance bool [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2<string, int32>::TryGetValue(!0, !1&) L_0098: brfalse.s L_00da L_009a: ldloc.3 L_009b: switch (L_00be, L_00c2, L_00c6, L_00ca, L_00ce, L_00d2, L_00d6) L_00bc: br.s L_00da L_00be: ldc.i4.1 L_00bf: stloc.1 L_00c0: br.s L_00de L_00c2: ldc.i4.2 L_00c3: stloc.1 L_00c4: br.s L_00de L_00c6: ldc.i4.3 

更新2:

对于什么是值得的VB.NET似乎没有对其Select构造相同的优化。

看起来像较新的编译器使用ComputeStringHash() ,然后string比较散列命中,而不是字典构造。
