C#+無unsafe的非托管大數組示例詳解(large unmanaged array in c# without ‘unsafe’ keyword)

C#申請一個大數組(Use a large array in C#)

在C#裡,有時候我需要能夠申請一個很大的數組、使用之、然後立即釋放其占用的內存。

Sometimes I need to allocate a large array, use it and then release its memory space immediately.

由於在C#裡提供的 int[] array = new int[1000000]; 這樣的數組,其內存釋放很難由程序員完全控制,在申請一個大數組後,程序可能會變得很慢。

If I use something like  int[] array = new int[1000000]; , it will be difficult to release its memory space by programmer and the app probably runs slower and slower.

特別是在C#+OpenGL編程中,我在使用VAO/VBO時十分需要設計一個非托管的數組,比如在glBufferData時我希望可以使用下面的glBufferData:

Specially in C#+OpenGL routines when I’m using VAO/VBO, I need an unmanaged array for glBufferData:

/// <summary>
 /// 設置當前VBO的數據。
 /// </summary>
 /// <param name="target"></param>
 /// <param name="data"></param>
 /// <param name="usage"></param>
 public static void glBufferData(uint target, UnmanagedArrayBase data, uint usage)
 {
 GetDelegateFor<glBufferData>()((uint)target,
 data.ByteLength, // 使用非托管數組
 data.Header, // 使用非托管數組
 (uint)usage);
 }
 // ...
 // glBufferData的聲明
 private delegate void glBufferData(uint target, int size, IntPtr data, uint usage);

而在指定VBO的數據時,可能是float、vec3等等類型:

And the content in VBO can be float, vec3 and any other structs.

/// <summary>
 /// 金字塔的posotion array.
 /// </summary>
 static vec3[] positions = new vec3[]
 {
 new vec3(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f),
 new vec3(-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f),
 // ...
 new vec3(-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f),
 };
// Create a vertex buffer for the vertex data.
 {
 uint[] ids = new uint[1];
 GL.GenBuffers(1, ids);
 GL.BindBuffer(GL.GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, ids[0]);
 // 使用vec3作為泛型的非托管數組的參數
 UnmanagedArray<vec3> positionArray = new UnmanagedArray<vec3>(positions.Length);
 for (int i = 0; i < positions.Length; i++)
 {
  // 使用this[i]這樣的索引方式來讀寫非托管數組的元素
  positionArray[i] = positions[i];
 }
 GL.BufferData(BufferDataTarget.ArrayBuffer, positionArray, BufferDataUsage.StaticDraw);
 GL.VertexAttribPointer(positionLocation, 3, GL.GL_FLOAT, false, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
 GL.EnableVertexAttribArray(positionLocation);
 }

UnmanagedArray<T>

所以我設計瞭這樣一個非托管的數組類型:無unsafe,可接收任何struct類型作為泛型參數,可隨時釋放內存。

So I designed this UnmangedArray<T> : no ‘unsafe’ keyword, takes any struct as generic parameter, can be released anytime you want.

1 /// <summary>
 2 /// 元素類型為sbyte, byte, char, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong, float, double, decimal, bool或其它struct的非托管數組。
 3 /// <para>不能使用enum類型作為T。</para>
 4 /// </summary>
 5 /// <typeparam name="T">sbyte, byte, char, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong, float, double, decimal, bool或其它struct, 不能使用enum類型作為T。</typeparam>
 6 public class UnmanagedArray<T> : UnmanagedArrayBase where T : struct
 7 {

 9 /// <summary>

 15 : base(count, Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(T)))

 21 /// </summary>
 22 /// <param name="index"></param>

 24 public T this[int index]
 25 {
 26 get
 27 {
 28  if (index < 0 || index >= this.Count)
 29  throw new IndexOutOfRangeException("index of UnmanagedArray is out of range");
 30 
 31  var pItem = this.Header + (index * elementSize);
 32  //var obj = Marshal.PtrToStructure(pItem, typeof(T));
 33  //T result = (T)obj;

 35  return result;
 36 }

 40  throw new IndexOutOfRangeException("index of UnmanagedArray is out of range");

UnmanagedArray

如何使用(How to use)

UnmanagedArray<T>使用方式十分簡單,就像一個普通的數組一樣:

Using UnamangedAray<T> is just like a normal array(int[], vec3[], etc.):

internal static void TypicalScene()
 {
 const int count = 100;

 // 測試float類型
 var floatArray = new UnmanagedArray<float>(count);
 for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
 {
 floatArray[i] = i;
 }
 for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
 {
 var item = floatArray[i];
 if (item != i)
 { throw new Exception(); }
 }

 // 測試int類型
 var intArray = new UnmanagedArray<int>(count);
 for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
 {
 intArray[i] = i;
 }
 for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
 {
 var item = intArray[i];
 if (item != i)
 { throw new Exception(); }
 }

 // 測試bool類型
 var boolArray = new UnmanagedArray<bool>(count);
 for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
 {
 boolArray[i] = i % 2 == 0;
 }
 for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
 {
 var item = boolArray[i];
 if (item != (i % 2 == 0))
 { throw new Exception(); }
 }

 // 測試vec3類型
 var vec3Array = new UnmanagedArray<vec3>(count);
 for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
 {
 vec3Array[i] = new vec3(i * 3 + 0, i * 3 + 1, i * 3 + 2);
 }
 for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
 {
 var item = vec3Array[i];
 var old = new vec3(i * 3 + 0, i * 3 + 1, i * 3 + 2);
 if (item.x != old.x || item.y != old.y || item.z != old.z)
 { throw new Exception(); }
 }

 // 測試foreach
 foreach (var item in vec3Array.GetElements())
 {
 Console.WriteLine(item);
 }

 // 釋放此數組占用的內存,這之後就不能再使用vec3Array瞭。
 vec3Array.Dispose();

 // 立即釋放所有非托管數組占用的內存,這之後就不能再使用上面申請的數組瞭。
 UnmanagedArrayBase.FreeAll();
 }

快速讀寫UnmanagedArray<T>

UnmanagedArrayHelper

由於很多時候需要申請和使用很大的UnmanagedArray<T>,直接使用this[index]索引方式速度會偏慢,所以我添加瞭幾個輔助方法,專門解決快速讀寫UnmanagedArray<T>的問題。

public static class UnmanagedArrayHelper
 {
 ///// <summary>
 ///// 錯誤 1 無法獲取托管類型(“T”)的地址和大小,或無法聲明指向它的指針
 ///// </summary>
 ///// <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
 ///// <param name="array"></param>
 ///// <returns></returns>
 //public static unsafe T* FirstElement<T>(this UnmanagedArray<T> array) where T : struct
 //{
 // var header = (void*)array.Header;
 // return (T*)header;
 //}

 /// <summary>
 /// 獲取非托管數組的第一個元素的地址。
 /// </summary>
 /// <param name="array"></param>
 /// <returns></returns>
 public static unsafe void* FirstElement(this UnmanagedArrayBase array)
 {
 var header = (void*)array.Header;

 return header;
 }

 public static unsafe void* LastElement(this UnmanagedArrayBase array)
 {
 var last = (void*)(array.Header + (array.ByteLength - array.ByteLength / array.Length));

 return last;
 }

 /// <summary>
 /// 獲取非托管數組的最後一個元素的地址再向後一個單位的地址。
 /// </summary>
 /// <param name="array"></param>
 /// <returns></returns>
 public static unsafe void* TailAddress(this UnmanagedArrayBase array)
 {
 var tail = (void*)(array.Header + array.ByteLength);

 return tail;
 }
 }

如何使用

這個類型實現瞭3個擴展方法,可以獲取UnmanagedArray<T>的第一個元素的位置、最後一個元素的位置、最後一個元素+1的位置。用這種unsafe的方法可以實現C語言一樣的讀寫速度。

下面是一個例子。用unsafe的方式讀寫UnmanagedArray<T>,速度比this[index]方式快10到70倍。

public static void TypicalScene()
 {
 int length = 1000000;
 UnmanagedArray<int> array = new UnmanagedArray<int>(length);
 UnmanagedArray<int> array2 = new UnmanagedArray<int>(length);

 long tick = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
 for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
 {
 array[i] = i;
 }
 long totalTicks = DateTime.Now.Ticks - tick;

 tick = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
 unsafe
 {
 int* header = (int*)array2.FirstElement();
 int* last = (int*)array2.LastElement();
 int* tailAddress = (int*)array2.TailAddress();
 int value = 0;
 for (int* ptr = header; ptr <= last/*or: ptr < tailAddress*/; ptr++)
 {
  *ptr = value++;
 }
 }
 long totalTicks2 = DateTime.Now.Ticks - tick;
 Console.WriteLine("ticks: {0}, {1}", totalTicks, totalTicks2);// unsafe method works faster.

 for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
 {
 if (array[i] != i)
 {
  Console.WriteLine("something wrong here");
 }
 if (array2[i] != i)
 {
  Console.WriteLine("something wrong here");
 }
 }

 array.Dispose();
 array2.Dispose();
 }
unsafe
 {
  vec3* header = (vec3*)vec3Array.FirstElement();
  vec3* last = (vec3*)vec3Array.LastElement();
  vec3* tailAddress = (vec3*)vec3Array.TailAddress();
  int i = 0;
  for (vec3* ptr = header; ptr <= last/*or: ptr < tailAddress*/; ptr++)
  {
  *ptr = new vec3(i * 3 + 0, i * 3 + 1, i * 3 + 2);
  i++;
  }
  i = 0;
  for (vec3* ptr = header; ptr <= last/*or: ptr < tailAddress*/; ptr++, i++)
  {
  var item = *ptr;
  var old = new vec3(i * 3 + 0, i * 3 + 1, i * 3 + 2);
  if (item.x != old.x || item.y != old.y || item.z != old.z)
  { throw new Exception(); }
  }
 }

用StructLayout和MarshalAs支持復雜的struct

在OpenGL中我需要用UnmanagedArray<mat4>,其中mat4定義如下:

1 /// <summary>
 2 /// Represents a 4x4 matrix.
 3 /// </summary>
 4 [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, Size = 4 * 4 * 4)]
 5 public struct mat4
 6 {
 7 /// <summary>
 8 /// Gets or sets the <see cref="vec4"/> column at the specified index.
 9 /// </summary>
10 /// <value>
11 /// The <see cref="vec4"/> column.
12 /// </value>
13 /// <param name="column">The column index.</param>
14 /// <returns>The column at index <paramref name="column"/>.</returns>
15 public vec4 this[int column]
16 {
17 get { return cols[column]; }
18 set { cols[column] = value; }
19 }
20 
21 /// <summary>
22 /// Gets or sets the element at <paramref name="column"/> and <paramref name="row"/>.
23 /// </summary>
24 /// <value>
25 /// The element at <paramref name="column"/> and <paramref name="row"/>.
26 /// </value>
27 /// <param name="column">The column index.</param>
28 /// <param name="row">The row index.</param>
29 /// <returns>
30 /// The element at <paramref name="column"/> and <paramref name="row"/>.
31 /// </returns>
32 public float this[int column, int row]
33 {
34 get { return cols[column][row]; }
35 set { cols[column][row] = value; }
36 }
37 
38 /// <summary>
39 /// The columms of the matrix.
40 /// </summary>
41 [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 4)]
42 private vec4[] cols;
43 }
44 
45 /// <summary>
46 /// Represents a four dimensional vector.
47 /// </summary>
48 [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, Size = 4 * 4)]
49 public struct vec4
50 {
51 public float x;
52 public float y;
53 public float z;
54 public float w;
55 
56 public float this[int index]
57 {
58 get
59 {
60  if (index == 0) return x;
61  else if (index == 1) return y;
62  else if (index == 2) return z;
63  else if (index == 3) return w;
64  else throw new Exception("Out of range.");
65 }
66 set
67 {
68  if (index == 0) x = value;
69  else if (index == 1) y = value;
70  else if (index == 2) z = value;
71  else if (index == 3) w = value;
72  else throw new Exception("Out of range.");
73 }
74 }
75 }

mat4

註意:UnmanagedArray<T>支持的struct,T的大小必須是確定的。所以在mat4裡我們用 [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, Size = 4 * 4 * 4)] 指定mat4的大小為4個 vec4 * 4個 float * 4個字節(每個float) = 64字節,並且在 private vec4[] cols; 上用 [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 4)] 規定瞭cols的元素數必須是4。之後在 vec4 上的 [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, Size = 4 * 4)] 不寫也可以,因為vec4隻有4個簡單的float字段,不含復雜類型。

下面是測試用例。

mat4 matrix = glm.scale(mat4.identity(), new vec3(2, 3, 4));

 var size = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(mat4));
 size = Marshal.SizeOf(matrix);

 UnmanagedArray<mat4> array = new UnmanagedArray<mat4>(1);
 array[0] = matrix;

 mat4 newMatirx = array[0]; // newMatrix should be equal to matrix

 array.Dispose();

如果matrix和newMatrix相等,就說明上述Attribute配置正確瞭。
