C# 2.0 Generics and collections

Hi

When C# 2.0 arrives System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection will
become "obsolete". Will the framework still contain this class, or will
there be a C# 1.X to 2.0 conversion utility that will change
System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection to
System.Collections.ArrayList <string> and ArrayList to ArrayList<object>
??

SADLY (so to say) the old non-generic collections are still there.

Which just keeps, porapbly, existing bugs around.

Hi

Are there new generic collections?

What they should do is label them as obsolete in a compiler warning and then
recommend using the Generics collection.

If its in the ECMA spec its gotta be supported. (then again the spec there
isnt final yet. Can anybody submit proposals for the C# ECMA comittee?)

Why isnt VB going for ECMA, to me if its not , its propriety closed language
and wont be used here, after all they just are runing VB6 until end of life
now which is 31-Mar-2005 when VB6 = offically dead. (from
support.microsoft.com)

Until its standardized, those languages wont be used here.

Well, I haven't noticed any bugs in StringCollection so far, and
besides they could re-implement it as a pre-created generic collection
in .NET 2.0, couldn't they?

Hi

I think the refrence to bugs was regarding the fact that the old collections
are slow because you have to continualy box objects.

A generic wouldn't solve the problem of the speed of boxing, would it? I
haven't read about how they are implemented, but I would think that integers
would still have to be treated a objects by the generic.

I don't believe so. I believe each generic class is compiled into a
type-specific class when it's first used, and that can take advantage
of anything type-specific such as size. (Note that this *isn't* the way
generics will be working in Java, AFAIK.)

Hi

No. Thats the whole point of them. With Generics, the type checking happens
when you complile, not at runtime.

To can get the spec here :

Hi Keith,

In the September MSDN, Jason Clark writes about Generics. In the
Performance paragraph he states "This is because boxing of the values is
avoided completely.", but you should read the whole paragraph for context:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/09/NET/

There is also a follow-up article in the October edition that talks more
about the implementation:

Boxing is what happens to make a reference-type value out of a value-
type value. For instance:

int i = 15;
object x = i;

The above creates a "boxed" int, and when you cast back to int it has
to unbox it.

When you cast between different reference types, or indeed between
different value types, there's no boxing or unboxing involved:

string s1 = "hello";
object o = s1;
string s2 = (string) o;

int i = 5;
byte b = (byte) i;
int j = b;

StringCollection doesn't have any boxing going on, but the other
object-based ones would suffer.

For ValueTypes, a specialized type class is created. For RefTypes, only one
is created and it's reused. This solves the boxing issue (preliminary
results tell me it's at least 5 times faster in a tight loop that woult
otherwise box and unbox).

Jon's answer is about Generics in general. The .NET implementation will
eliminate boxing (support at the IL level). The Java implementation doesn't
get around this.

Hi

Dose the runtime casting from object -> string not cause performence
problems?

Would this improve with the use of generics?

No. String is a reference type, so there's no boxing/unboxing going
on, so the performance penalty will be negligible. (At least compared
to what you'd have to pay for value types!)

Right, storing a reftype in an object costs nothing (whereas a boxing costs
quite a bit). A downcast costs about 4 times less than a box.

A bit of a clarification.

In the Java implementation, the casting will be removed from the user code,
but it will still be present at the bytecode level.

Anders did some timings on this for his PDC presentation (which we're
working to get up on the C# dev center on MSDN).

IIRC, you save around 10% of the loop overhead in the reference type case
(by avoiding the cast), and something like 50% on the value type case. This
was for essentially empty loops.

We certainly will not get rid of the existing types, as lots of programs
depend upon them.

We had talked about auto-migration, but it's somewhat unpalatable as we've
taken the opportunity to fix some problems with the ArrayList and Hashtable
classes, but the fixes might break existing code in some rare cases. In the
generics world, you'll use List<T> and Dictionary<K, V> instead.

I'd love to see his benchmarks. I did mine by adding an item on each
iteration (requiring a box in, or for a reftype, just passing the ref) and
then taking it back out.

The generics version for the reftypes was barely noticable (2**24
iterations, something like 0.02 seconds speed up). Of course, this was
actually doing some real work. I timed the actual cast down to about 3ns
(on a P4c 3GHz), so I'm saving that each time.

For valuetypes, it was a whole different story, the memory requirements got
so high they slowed it down immensely (2**24 objects, since each int was
boxed).

So for "real world" apps, I'd imagine we'll see great (runtime performance)
benefits for valuetypes and an almost unnoticeable improvement for
reftypes...
