将流数据映射到C#中的数据结构

Question

有没有办法将流或数组上收集的数据映射到数据结构,反之亦然？在C++中,这只是将指向流的指针作为我想要使用的数据类型(反之亦然),例如:在C++中

Mystruct * pMyStrct = (Mystruct*)&SomeDataStream;
pMyStrct->Item1 = 25;

int iReadData = pMyStrct->Item2;

显然,C++方式非常不安全,除非您在读取传入数据时确定流数据的质量,但对于传出数据来说非常快速和简单.

Answer 1

大多数人使用.NET序列化(有更快的二进制和更慢的XML格式化程序,它们都依赖于反射并且在某种程度上容忍版本)

但是,如果你想要最快(不安全)的方式 - 为什么不:

写作:

YourStruct o = new YourStruct();
byte[] buffer = new byte[Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(YourStruct))];
GCHandle handle = GCHandle.Alloc(buffer, GCHandleType.Pinned);
Marshal.StructureToPtr(o, handle.AddrOfPinnedObject(), false);
handle.Free();

读:

handle = GCHandle.Alloc(buffer, GCHandleType.Pinned);
o = (YourStruct)Marshal.PtrToStructure(handle.AddrOfPinnedObject(), typeof(YourStruct));
handle.Free();

如果lubos hasko的答案不够安全,那么使用C#中的指针也是非常不安全的方法.以下是我遇到的一些提示和陷阱:

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.IO;
using System.Diagnostics;

// Use LayoutKind.Sequential to prevent the CLR from reordering your fields.
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
unsafe struct MeshDesc
{
    public byte NameLen;
    // Here fixed means store the array by value, like in C,
    // though C# exposes access to Name as a char*.
    // fixed also requires 'unsafe' on the struct definition.
    public fixed char Name[16];
    // You can include other structs like in C as well.
    public Matrix Transform;
    public uint VertexCount;
    // But not both, you can't store an array of structs.
    //public fixed Vector Vertices[512];
}

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
unsafe struct Matrix
{
    public fixed float M[16];
}

// This is how you do unions
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)]
unsafe struct Vector
{
    [FieldOffset(0)]
    public fixed float Items[16];
    [FieldOffset(0)]
    public float X;
    [FieldOffset(4)]
    public float Y;
    [FieldOffset(8)]
    public float Z;
}

class Program
{
    unsafe static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var mesh = new MeshDesc();
        var buffer = new byte[Marshal.SizeOf(mesh)];

        // Set where NameLen will be read from.
        buffer[0] = 12;
        // Use Buffer.BlockCopy to raw copy data across arrays of primitives.
        // Note we copy to offset 2 here: char's have alignment of 2, so there is
        // a padding byte after NameLen: just like in C.
        Buffer.BlockCopy("Hello!".ToCharArray(), 0, buffer, 2, 12);

        // Copy data to struct
        Read(buffer, out mesh);

        // Print the Name we wrote above:
        var name = new char[mesh.NameLen];
        // Use Marsal.Copy to copy between arrays and pointers to arrays.
        unsafe { Marshal.Copy((IntPtr)mesh.Name, name, 0, mesh.NameLen); }
        // Note you can also use the String.String(char*) overloads
        Console.WriteLine("Name: " + new string(name));

        // If Erik Myers likes it...
        mesh.VertexCount = 4711;

        // Copy data from struct:
        // MeshDesc is a struct, and is on the stack, so it's
        // memory is effectively pinned by the stack pointer.
        // This means '&' is sufficient to get a pointer.
        Write(&mesh, buffer);

        // Watch for alignment again, and note you have endianess to worry about...
        int vc = buffer[100] | (buffer[101] << 8) | (buffer[102] << 16) | (buffer[103] << 24);
        Console.WriteLine("VertexCount = " + vc);
    }

    unsafe static void Write(MeshDesc* pMesh, byte[] buffer)
    {
        // But byte[] is on the heap, and therefore needs
        // to be flagged as pinned so the GC won't try to move it
        // from under you - this can be done most efficiently with
        // 'fixed', but can also be done with GCHandleType.Pinned.
        fixed (byte* pBuffer = buffer)
            *(MeshDesc*)pBuffer = *pMesh;
    }

    unsafe static void Read(byte[] buffer, out MeshDesc mesh)
    {
        fixed (byte* pBuffer = buffer)
            mesh = *(MeshDesc*)pBuffer;
    }
}
