昨日看到一篇文章 《Linq的Distinct太不给力了》,文中指出 Linq 中 Distinct 方法的一个重载使用了 IEqualityComparer<T> 作为参数,调用时大多都要创建新的类去实现这个接口,很不给力。文中给出了一种解决办法,略显烦索,我也写了《c# 扩展方法 奇思妙用 基础篇 八:Distinct 扩展》一文使用扩展方法予以简化。
但问题远远没有结束,不给力是因为使用了 IEqualityComparer<T> 作为参数,而 .net 中将 IEqualityComparer<T> 用作参数的地方相当多:
.net 中 IEqualityComparer<T> 用作参数,大致可分为以下两种情况:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 |
public static class Enumerable { public static bool Contains<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, TSource value, IEqualityComparer<TSource> comparer); public static IEnumerable<TSource> Distinct<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, IEqualityComparer<TSource> comparer); public static IEnumerable<TSource> Except<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> first, IEnumerable<TSource> second, IEqualityComparer<TSource> comparer); public static IEnumerable<IGrouping<TKey, TSource>> GroupBy<TSource, TKey>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector, IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer); public static IEnumerable<TSource> Intersect<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> first, IEnumerable<TSource> second, IEqualityComparer<TSource> comparer); public static bool SequenceEqual<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> first, IEnumerable<TSource> second, IEqualityComparer<TSource> comparer); public static Dictionary<TKey, TSource> ToDictionary<TSource, TKey>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector, IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer); public static ILookup<TKey, TSource> ToLookup<TSource, TKey>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector, IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer); public static IEnumerable<TSource> Union<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> first, IEnumerable<TSource> second, IEqualityComparer<TSource> comparer); //... } |
同样 Queryable 类中也有类似的一些方法
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

public class Dictionary<TKey, TValue> : IDictionary<TKey, TValue>, ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>, IDictionary, ICollection, IEnumerable, ISerializable, IDeserializationCallback { public Dictionary(); public Dictionary(IDictionary<TKey, TValue> dictionary); public Dictionary(IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer); public Dictionary(int capacity); public Dictionary(IDictionary<TKey, TValue> dictionary, IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer); public Dictionary(int capacity, IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer); //... } public class HashSet<T> : ISerializable, IDeserializationCallback, ISet<T>, ICollection<T>, IEnumerable<T>, IEnumerable { public HashSet(); public HashSet(IEnumerable<T> collection); public HashSet(IEqualityComparer<T> comparer); public HashSet(IEnumerable<T> collection, IEqualityComparer<T> comparer); //... } |
Dictionary<TKey, TValue> 和 HashSet<T> 类的构造函数都用到了 IEqualityComparer<T> 接口。
除了如上两个,还有 ConcurrentDictionary<TKey, TValue>、SortedSet<T>、KeyedCollection<TKey, TItem>(抽象类)、SynchronizedKeyedCollection<K, T> 等等也使用 IEqualityComparer<T> 接口作为构造函数的参数。
IEqualityComparer<T> 作为参数多在复杂的重载中出现,满足一些特殊情况的要求,而相应的简单的重载确是经常使用的。因此,虽然 IEqualityComparer<T> 在 .net 应用广泛,但在我们编程时,确是较少涉及。
不过话又说回来,一旦使用到时,就会感觉相当麻烦。多数时候你不得不去创建一个新类,去实现 IEqualityComparer<T> 接口,再去 new 一个实例,而你真正需要的可能仅仅是根据某个属性(如 ID )进行比较。创建新类实现 IEqualityComparer<T> 接口,不但增加了代码量,还增加的复杂度:你要考虑这个新类放在哪里合适,如何命名等等。
因此,我们期望有一个简单的方法来能直接创建 IEqualityComparer<T> 的实例。《c# 扩展方法 奇思妙用 基础篇 八:Distinct 扩展》一文中给出了一个简单实用的类 CommonEqualityComparer<T, V>,在这里可以复用来达到我们的目标。
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 |
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Runtime.CompilerServices; using System.Linq; public class CommonEqualityComparer<T, V> : IEqualityComparer<T> { private Func<T, V> keySelector; private IEqualityComparer<V> comparer; public CommonEqualityComparer(Func<T, V> keySelector, IEqualityComparer<V> comparer) { this.keySelector = keySelector; this.comparer = comparer; } public CommonEqualityComparer(Func<T, V> keySelector) : this(keySelector, EqualityComparer<V>.Default) { } public bool Equals(T x, T y) { return comparer.Equals(keySelector(x), keySelector(y)); } public int GetHashCode(T obj) { return comparer.GetHashCode(keySelector(obj)); } } |
使用这个类,可以简易通过 lambda 表达式来创建 IEqualityComparer<T> 的实例:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
var dict = new Dictionary<Person, string>(new CommonEqualityComparer<Person, string>(p => p.Name)); List<Person> persons = null; Person p1 = null; //... var ps = persons.Contains(p1, new CommonEqualityComparer<Person, int>(p=>p.ID)); |
相信看了上面代码的,你会觉得 new CommonEqualityComparer<Person, string>(p => p.Name)) 太冗长。不过我们可以借助下面的类加以改善:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
public static class Equality<T> { public static IEqualityComparer<T> CreateComparer<V>(Func<T, V> keySelector) { return new CommonEqualityComparer<T, V>(keySelector); } public static IEqualityComparer<T> CreateComparer<V>(Func<T, V> keySelector, IEqualityComparer<V> comparer) { return new CommonEqualityComparer<T, V>(keySelector, comparer); } } |
调用代码可简化:
1 2 |
var dict = new Dictionary<Person, string>(Equality<Person>.CreateComparer(p => p.Name)); var ps = persons.Contains(p1, Equality<Person>.CreateComparer(p => p.ID)); |
不考虑类名和方法名的前提下,Equality<Person>.CreateComparer(p => p.ID) 的写法也经精简到极限了(如果你能进一步精简,不妨告诉我)。
其实有了 Equality<T> 这个类,我们大可将 CommonEqualityComparer<T, V> 类封装隐藏起来。
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 |
public static class Equality<T> { public static IEqualityComparer<T> CreateComparer<V>(Func<T, V> keySelector) { return new CommonEqualityComparer<V>(keySelector); } public static IEqualityComparer<T> CreateComparer<V>(Func<T, V> keySelector, IEqualityComparer<V> comparer) { return new CommonEqualityComparer<V>(keySelector, comparer); } class CommonEqualityComparer<V> : IEqualityComparer<T> { private Func<T, V> keySelector; private IEqualityComparer<V> comparer; public CommonEqualityComparer(Func<T, V> keySelector, IEqualityComparer<V> comparer) { this.keySelector = keySelector; this.comparer = comparer; } public CommonEqualityComparer(Func<T, V> keySelector) : this(keySelector, EqualityComparer<V>.Default) { } public bool Equals(T x, T y) { return comparer.Equals(keySelector(x), keySelector(y)); } public int GetHashCode(T obj) { return comparer.GetHashCode(keySelector(obj)); } } } |
CommonEqualityComparer<T, V> 封装成了 Equaility<T> 的嵌套类 CommonEqualityComparer<V>,对外不可见,降低了使用的复杂度。
《c# 扩展方法 奇思妙用 基础篇 八:Distinct 扩展》一文中的 Distinct 扩展方法 写起来也简单了:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
public static class DistinctExtensions { public static IEnumerable<T> Distinct<T, V>(this IEnumerable<T> source, Func<T, V> keySelector) { return source.Distinct(Equality<T>.CreateComparer(keySelector)); } public static IEnumerable<T> Distinct<T, V>(this IEnumerable<T> source, Func<T, V> keySelector, IEqualityComparer<V> comparer) { return source.Distinct(Equality<T>.CreateComparer(keySelector, comparer)); } } |
Linq 中除 Distinct 外还有众多方法使用了 IEqualityComparer<T> 接口,逐一扩展未必是一个好方式,使用 Equality<T>.CreateComparer 方法比较明智。
.net 中经常把 IEqualityComparer<T> 用作某些重载的参数。
虽然这些重载在日常使用中并不频繁,不过一旦用到,大多要创建新类实现 IEqualityComparer<T>,繁琐不给力。
本文创建 Equality<T> 泛型类,配合一个 lambda 表达式可快速创建 IEqualityComparer<T> 的实例。
