C#+无unsafe的非托管大数组(large unmanaged array in c# without 'unsafe' keyword)
+BIT祝威+悄悄在此留下版了个权的信息说：
C#申请一个大数组(Use a large array in C#)
在C#里，有时候我需要能够申请一个很大的数组、使用之、然后立即释放其占用的内存。
Sometimes I need to allocate a large array, use it and then release its memory space immediately.
由于在C#里提供的 int[] array = new int[]; 这样的数组，其内存释放很难由程序员完全控制，在申请一个大数组后，程序可能会变得很慢。
If I use something like int[] array = new int[]; , it will be difficult to release its memory space by programmer and the app probably runs slower and slower.
特别是在C#+OpenGL编程中，我在使用VAO/VBO时十分需要设计一个非托管的数组，比如在glBufferData时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>
/// 设置当前VBO的数据。
/// </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, // 使用非托管数组
data.Header, // 使用非托管数组
(uint)usage);
}
// ...
// glBufferData的声明
private delegate void glBufferData(uint target, int size, IntPtr data, uint usage);
而在指定VBO的数据时，可能是float、vec3等等类型：
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[];
GL.GenBuffers(, ids);
GL.BindBuffer(GL.GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, ids[]);
// 使用vec3作为泛型的非托管数组的参数
UnmanagedArray<vec3> positionArray = new UnmanagedArray<vec3>(positions.Length);
for (int i = ; i < positions.Length; i++)
{
// 使用this[i]这样的索引方式来读写非托管数组的元素
positionArray[i] = positions[i];
}
GL.BufferData(BufferDataTarget.ArrayBuffer, positionArray, BufferDataUsage.StaticDraw);
GL.VertexAttribPointer(positionLocation, , GL.GL_FLOAT, false, , IntPtr.Zero);
GL.EnableVertexAttribArray(positionLocation);
}

UnmanagedArray<T>
所以我设计了这样一个非托管的数组类型：无unsafe，可接收任何struct类型作为泛型参数，可随时释放内存。
So I designed this UnmangedArray<T> : no 'unsafe' keyword, takes any struct as generic parameter, can be released anytime you want.
/// <summary>

public UnmanagedArray(int count)

if (index < || index >= this.Count)
throw new IndexOutOfRangeException("index of UnmanagedArray is out of range"); var pItem = this.Header + (index * elementSize);
//var obj = Marshal.PtrToStructure(pItem, typeof(T));
//T result = (T)obj;
T result = Marshal.PtrToStructure<T>(pItem);// works in .net 4.5.1
return result;
}
set

如何使用(How to use)
UnmanagedArray<T>使用方式十分简单，就像一个普通的数组一样：
Using UnamangedAray<T> is just like a normal array(int[], vec3[], etc.):
internal static void TypicalScene()
{
const int count = ; // 测试float类型
var floatArray = new UnmanagedArray<float>(count);
for (int i = ; i < count; i++)
{
floatArray[i] = i;
}
for (int i = ; i < count; i++)
{
var item = floatArray[i];
if (item != i)
{ throw new Exception(); }
} // 测试int类型
var intArray = new UnmanagedArray<int>(count);
for (int i = ; i < count; i++)
{
intArray[i] = i;
}
for (int i = ; i < count; i++)
{
var item = intArray[i];
if (item != i)
{ throw new Exception(); }
} // 测试bool类型
var boolArray = new UnmanagedArray<bool>(count);
for (int i = ; i < count; i++)
{
boolArray[i] = i % == ;
}
for (int i = ; i < count; i++)
{
var item = boolArray[i];
if (item != (i % == ))
{ throw new Exception(); }
} // 测试vec3类型
var vec3Array = new UnmanagedArray<vec3>(count);
for (int i = ; i < count; i++)
{
vec3Array[i] = new vec3(i * + , i * + , i * + );
}
for (int i = ; i < count; i++)
{
var item = vec3Array[i];
var old = new vec3(i * + , i * + , i * + );
if (item.x != old.x || item.y != old.y || item.z != old.z)
{ throw new Exception(); }
} // 测试foreach
foreach (var item in vec3Array.GetElements())
{
Console.WriteLine(item);
} // 释放此数组占用的内存，这之后就不能再使用vec3Array了。
vec3Array.Dispose(); // 立即释放所有非托管数组占用的内存，这之后就不能再使用上面申请的数组了。
UnmanagedArrayBase.FreeAll();
}
快速读写UnmanagedArray<T>
UnmanagedArrayHelper
由于很多时候需要申请和使用很大的UnmanagedArray<T>，直接使用this[index]索引方式速度会偏慢，所以我添加了几个辅助方法，专门解决快速读写UnmanagedArray<T>的问题。
public static class UnmanagedArrayHelper
{
///// <summary>
///// 错误 1 无法获取托管类型(“T”)的地址和大小，或无法声明指向它的指针
///// </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>
/// 获取非托管数组的第一个元素的地址。
/// </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>
/// 获取非托管数组的最后一个元素的地址再向后一个单位的地址。
/// </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
这个类型实现了3个扩展方法，可以获取UnmanagedArray<T>的第一个元素的位置、最后一个元素的位置、最后一个元素+1的位置。用这种unsafe的方法可以实现C语言一样的读写速度。
下面是一个例子。用unsafe的方式读写UnmanagedArray<T>，速度比this[index]方式快10到70倍。
public static void TypicalScene()
{
int length = ;
UnmanagedArray<int> array = new UnmanagedArray<int>(length);
UnmanagedArray<int> array2 = new UnmanagedArray<int>(length); long tick = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
for (int i = ; 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 = ;
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 = ; 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 = ;
for (vec3* ptr = header; ptr <= last/*or: ptr < tailAddress*/; ptr++)
{
*ptr = new vec3(i * + , i * + , i * + );
i++;
}
i = ;
for (vec3* ptr = header; ptr <= last/*or: ptr < tailAddress*/; ptr++, i++)
{
var item = *ptr;
var old = new vec3(i * + , i * + , i * + );
if (item.x != old.x || item.y != old.y || item.z != old.z)
{ throw new Exception(); }
}
}

用StructLayout和MarshalAs支持复杂的struct
在OpenGL中我需要用UnmanagedArray<mat4>，其中mat4定义如下：
/// <summary>
/// Represents a 4x4 matrix.
/// </summary>
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, Size = * * )]
public struct mat4
{
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the <see cref="vec4"/> column at the specified index.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// The <see cref="vec4"/> column.
/// </value>
/// <param name="column">The column index.</param>
/// <returns>The column at index <paramref name="column"/>.</returns>
public vec4 this[int column]
{
get { return cols[column]; }
set { cols[column] = value; }
} /// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the element at <paramref name="column"/> and <paramref name="row"/>.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// The element at <paramref name="column"/> and <paramref name="row"/>.
/// </value>
/// <param name="column">The column index.</param>
/// <param name="row">The row index.</param>
/// <returns>
/// The element at <paramref name="column"/> and <paramref name="row"/>.
/// </returns>
public float this[int column, int row]
{
get { return cols[column][row]; }
set { cols[column][row] = value; }
} /// <summary>
/// The columms of the matrix.
/// </summary>
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = )]
private vec4[] cols;
} /// <summary>
/// Represents a four dimensional vector.
/// </summary>
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, Size = * )]
public struct vec4
{
public float x;
public float y;
public float z;
public float w; public float this[int index]
{
get
{
if (index == ) return x;
else if (index == ) return y;
else if (index == ) return z;
else if (index == ) return w;
else throw new Exception("Out of range.");
}
set
{
if (index == ) x = value;
else if (index == ) y = value;
else if (index == ) z = value;
else if (index == ) w = value;
else throw new Exception("Out of range.");
}
}
}
mat4
注意：UnmanagedArray<T>支持的struct，T的大小必须是确定的。所以在mat4里我们用 [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, Size = * * )] 指定mat4的大小为4个 vec4 * 4个 float * 4个字节(每个float) = 64字节，并且在 private vec4[] cols; 上用 [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = )] 规定了cols的元素数必须是4。之后在 vec4 上的 [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, Size = * )] 不写也可以，因为vec4只有4个简单的float字段，不含复杂类型。
下面是测试用例。
mat4 matrix = glm.scale(mat4.identity(), new vec3(, , ));
var size = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(mat4));
size = Marshal.SizeOf(matrix);
UnmanagedArray<mat4> array = new UnmanagedArray<mat4>();
array[] = matrix;
mat4 newMatirx = array[]; // newMatrix should be equal to matrix
array.Dispose();如果matrix和newMatrix相等，就说明上述Attribute配置正确了。
