为什么我不能将DateTime []转换为object []？

Question

似乎我可以将DateTime转换为对象,那么为什么我不能将数组DateTime []转换为object []？我知道这与值/引用类型有关,但是没有拳击允许我这样做吗？

Answer 1

数组协方差仅适用于引用类型的数组. DateTime是一个值类型,因此您无法将变量分配DateTime[]给object[]变量.您必须显式创建一个对象数组并复制值.换句话说,创建一个新的类型数组实例object[].

有很多方法可以做到这一点.简单的使用CopyTo()应该就足够了.

DateTime[] x = new DateTime[] { ... };
object[] y = new object[x.Length];
x.CopyTo(y, 0);

我做了一些测试.可能不是最好的方法,但它应该很好地了解适当的分析器将是什么.

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var now = DateTime.Now;
        var dates = new DateTime[5000000];
        for (int i = 0; i < dates.Length; i++)
            dates[i] = now.AddSeconds(i);
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        {
            Test("Test1", () =>
            {
                var result = new object[dates.LongLength];
                for (long l = 0; l < result.LongLength; l++)
                    result[l] = dates[l];
                return result;
            });
            Test("Test2", () =>
            {
                var result = new object[dates.LongLength];
                dates.CopyTo(result, 0);
                return result;
            });
            Test("Test3", () =>
            {
                var result = new object[dates.LongLength];
                Array.Copy(dates, result, dates.LongLength);
                return result;
            });
            Test("Test4", () =>
            {
                var result = Array.ConvertAll(dates, d => (object)d);
                return result;
            });
            Test("Test5", () =>
            {
                var result = dates.Cast<object>().ToArray();
                return result;
            });
            Test("Test6", () =>
            {
                var result = dates.Select(d => (object)d).ToArray();
                return result;
            });
            Console.WriteLine();
        }
    }

    static void Test<T>(string name, Func<T> fn)
    {
        var startMem = GC.GetTotalMemory(true);
        var sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        var result = fn();
        sw.Stop();
        var endMem = GC.GetTotalMemory(false);
        var diff = endMem - startMem;
        Console.WriteLine("{0}\tMem: {1,7}/{2,7} ({3,7})", name, startMem, endMem, diff);
        Console.WriteLine("\tTime: {0,7} ({1,7})", sw.ElapsedMilliseconds, sw.ElapsedTicks);
    }
}

有趣的是,ConvertAll()执行与普通循环非常相似.
