linq doesn't do it either

static IEnumerable<TResult> SelectIterator<TSource, TResult>(IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, int, TResult> selector) {
    int index = -1;
    foreach (TSource element in source) {
        checked { index++; }
        yield return selector(element, index);
    }
}

Hosch250

Yes it does.

skiwi

But doesn't LINQ optimize multiple actions into a single need to create a new list? You create a new list at every action

t3chb0t

here's the implementation from referencesource.microsoft.com/#System.Core/System/Linq/…

Hosch250

@skiwi No, I only create one for each method call, and add items to it.

@t3chb0t Yep, that yield keyword does it.

Dan Pantry

@Hosch250 LINQ would start to out-perform yours pretty quickly

Duga

6:01 PM

Working code in need of review should be posted at Code Review — Johnny Mopp 51 secs ago

Dan Pantry

Simply due to the fact that your extensions create a new List every single time

skiwi

@Hosch250 Yes, but cannot LINQ make sure that as least new Lists are created as possible? Copying items over is a performance hit

Dan Pantry

whereas LINQ only does it once upon enumeration

Hosch250

@DanPantry Same for mine. Mine isn't lazy like Linq.

t3chb0t

@Hosch250 did you test it? I think we'll only know if @EBrown runs a few benchmarks :)

Dan Pantry

6:02 PM

@Hosch250 That was my point. LINQ is lazily evaluated, so if you used .Where().Select on yours it would (probably) be slower than it would be if you used LINQ

t3chb0t

it's not lazy, yield return makes it lazy

Dan Pantry

(Which would remove any benefit not using the yield state machine would have)

Hosch250

@DanPantry Slower for the first call, but faster in the long run.

It is basically an abstraction so I don't have to write that for loop every time I want to select items from a list.

Dan Pantry

@Hosch250 Hmm, I might be conflating memory consumption with performance here, but yours would definitely consume more memory eventually, and the effect would be exacerbated on larger lists

t3chb0t

@Hosch250 how big are your lists?

Hosch250

6:04 PM

@t3chb0t Probably no more than 10-20 items.

t3chb0t

ok, then you can never even measure it

Hosch250

But I do the same thing in RD's parser over several hundred items, and it sped it up by almost half.

t3chb0t

I had hoped you'll say 20mln or so

skiwi

@DanPantry But memory gets pretty close to equaling performance in something running in a VM...

Hosch250

Linq (and the yield keyword) is more expensive than you realize.

Hosch250

There is a reason you don't use it in compilers/parsers, and other performance-critical places.

t3chb0t

I've never had any issues with link and if I have, I run a profiler and optimize the critical part

skiwi

@Hosch250 That's because compilers always lag behind in features because they have been developed using older versions of the language

Dan Pantry

@Hosch250 Sure, it is, but you will consume more memory on larger lists using your approach

t3chb0t

because compilers need to run fast, no body will ever notice if a collection of 20 items has been enumerated in 20microseconds or 22microseconds

Dan Pantry

6:06 PM

However, in a compiler, I'd agree that yeah, memory isn't really an issue

skiwi

If you're so worried about performance then ignore any type of LINQ functionality and just write down your full loop

Hosch250

@t3chb0t This is being used in the Roslyn compiler.

It is being triggered by an event, or something similar, whenever a certain node type is compiled.

@skiwi That's it. I abstracted my loop to make my code a little cleaner, so it looks like Linq, but acts like a normal loop.

skiwi

@Hosch250 But it doesn't, because you're allocating a new list multiple times (assuming you use Where and Select on the same target), you should only create a new list once if you're so worried about performance

Hosch250

Oh, these aren't meant to be used chained.

t3chb0t

6:09 PM

@Hosch250 you should name it StatelessSelect or FastSelect or SelectToList

Dan Pantry

Whatever you are doing I would make it very clear that it is not a LINQ extension method

Hosch250

If I need to use them chained, I'll make a SelectWhere.

Dan Pantry

Cus it looks like one

t3chb0t

it won't be possible to use the other extension because this will have precedence, unless it's desired

Dan Pantry

@Hosch250 The media would be... droning on.... about it for weeks

t3chb0t

@Hosch250 so you're contributing this to roslyn?

Hosch250

6:14 PM

It's currently in VSD's extensions, although I'll probably take it out.

No, VSD ties into Roslyn's API, but the recommendations are to make it as fast as possible.

The ones in Roslyn aren't allowed to use Linq.

They can't control third-party ones, but we are following their recommendations as close as possible.

t3chb0t

ok, now I get it

skiwi

@DanPantry That makes me think about one of those new Battlefield 1 maps

It's one where you need to shoot down a Blimp/Zeppelin

Dan Pantry

@Hosch250 Do you have any info on the implementation of LINQ? can't seem to find it. I'm interested in learning as to why LINQ is so bad. My understanding based on preliminary googling is that it makes a LOT of heap allocations.

(Thanks, Rust, for helping me understand the difference :D)

Hosch250

@DanPantry It uses the yield keyword and lazily returns items. Jon Skeet has quite a large section on how it works in C# In Depth.

Basically, it builds a state machine and only returns items when they are asked for.

Dan Pantry

I'm guessing that's a book?

skiwi

6:21 PM

What's wrong with lazy?

Hosch250

Yup.

Dan Pantry

MORE BOOKS FOR THE BOOK GOD

skiwi

I can only see the state machine allocating more memory mostly

Hosch250

That creates a lot of overhead.

Dan Pantry

it has to all be stored on the heap as well, @skiwi

inline twiddling can all be done on a stack for one

The specific note about LINQ in Roslyn is that it cannot be used in hot paths

It's not "You can't use at all", but "don't use this in things that run often" to avoid lots of heap allocations, which can trigger a large GC collection = DOOOOOOM

(or at least heavily degraded performance)

EBrown

@Hosch250 I'ma benchmark the snot out of this when I take the dog to go potty.

Hosch250

Dan Pantry

Hosch250

@EBrown That would be nice.

skiwi

I like the DOOOOOOOOM explanation more

t3chb0t

this one sounds resonable too stackoverflow.com/a/22894932/235671

Dan Pantry

6:24 PM

LINQ composes well and reads nicer than for loops (some stuff you can do with LINQ is seriously hairy code in normal C#) but that's about the only benefit it has going for it

Well, that and the lazy evaluation

skiwi

Lazy evaluation makes up for most of the performance loss in most cases

Dan Pantry

Except when you don't actually need the lazy evaluation :P

Hosch250

It's about 2.5 times slower than a normal loop, according to that guy.

skiwi

@Hosch250 No way

Hosch250

Yep.

I told you that we cut the parse time by almost half by simply killing the Linq in RD.

Dan Pantry

6:26 PM

Though, again, if you're doing a single loop, it's cheaper.

skiwi

Java 8 Streams aren't even that bad as far as I'm aware

Dan Pantry

If you're doing multiple transformations over a query, and you want it to be lazily evaluated, LINQ comes out on top

I would assume

Hosch250

It doesn't just do the looping. It would have come well before C# 3 if that was the only thing involved.

Dan Pantry

but it would still be faster to use a regular for loop with multiple transformations if you don't need lazily evaluation

skiwi

And I won't believe C# LINQ is worse than Java 8 Streams as they are essentially the same concept

Dan Pantry

6:27 PM

Skiwi, when drinking the LINQ kool-aid then finding out about the performance hit

Hosch250

@skiwi It also does stuff with the types, and stuff.

Dan Pantry

Write everything in Rust. Problem solved. /s

RubberDuck

@DanPantry I support this opinion.

Hosch250

Wait, the reflection-like stuff might have been the dynamic stuff that came in C# 4. I do remember that it does stuff to figure out the types, and stuff too.

RubberDuck

@Hosch250 I also support this opinion.

Hosch250

@skiwi You might be surprised about that last point.

EBrown

@Hosch250 I'm about to start benchmarking.

Any predictions on yours vs. builtin LINQ?

RubberDuck

@skiwi not bad, but what's up with all the casting?

skiwi

6:33 PM

@Hosch250 I can maintain it :P

@RubberDuck WPF doesn't do generics, mostly, except when it does

RubberDuck

Ahhhh yeah.... WPF needs updated. It predates generics and that's unfortunate.

UWP is slightly better about it, but MS reused a lot of WPF, so.....

skiwi

I'm not sure if UWP was a serious attempt? Because it cannot interact with the core of the OS

Dan Lyons

@RubberDuck eh? generics was .NET 2.0, while WPF was .NET 3.0

EBrown

@Hosch250 @t3chb0t Benchmarking.

3

I have three comparisons: Where, Select, and Where.Select.

And there are three methods in each: a baseline (a regular loop programmed to do that operation), the method from @Hosch250, and the LINQ method.

So, in about 2 minutes we'll see.

Hosch250

Mine will be slower than an inline loop because of the member invocation.

RubberDuck

6:44 PM

@skiwi you've got to remember that UWP was designed to deploy to any of Microsoft's operating systems.

Hosch250

I moved mine to be inline, anyway.

RubberDuck

When it was first designed, they had a different OS for mobile.

EBrown

The mission is to take 1,000,000 integers (0 to 999,999) and then for just filtering return the integers that are even, and for the select return double each integer.

RubberDuck

@DanLyons my bad. In that case, screw microsoft. Jerks.

Mast

6:45 PM

@RubberDuck They fixed that though, not sure whether you see that in the development but the deployment goes more universal now.

skiwi

@RubberDuck Well yeah, but other frameworks do that too and then allow OS-specific code

RubberDuck

@skiwi MS allows that too. They just expect you to design your code base properly for it.

Which is probably a mistake.....

skiwi

@EBrown Careful you might hit branch prediction there, it might matter, but it might also not

@RubberDuck You mean that I can interact with the Win32 API on Windows (10) in UWP code?

RubberDuck

@skiwi I'm almost certain you can, but you have to inject the behavior and code to an interface.

EBrown

@skiwi If that's the case then it should have a different result if I use a random list of 1,000,000 integers, which I have just done.

skiwi

6:49 PM

@EBrown Cool

Branch prediction definitely does its job on a sorted list, but I suspect it's able to look through even/uneven too

EBrown

SourceIntegerList = Enumerable.Range(0, 1000000).Select(x => random.Next(int.MinValue / 2 + 1, int.MaxValue / 2 - 1)).ToList();

@skiwi Don't need it, I just use a Random to initiate it.

skiwi

6:51 PM

I kind of want to code that in Clojure again to see how easy it could be

EBrown

Doing the Where or Select in a raw loop body is the fastest every time. The Where provided by @Hosch250 is barely faster than the LINQ Where, and the Select provided is somewhat faster than the LINQ Select. When the provided are slower than the LINQ alternatives.

skiwi

And lol on my question I could just box the ints, map them to a string and then string join, /sillyme

EBrown

And if we make the list an int?, I suppose we might get different results.

Let's see how it does with non-value types.

Q: Composed Architecture

When refactoring and old class in PHP, I noticed that it contained a lot of business logic and thus was not allowing code reuse. So I thought about composition in order to achieve horizontal code reuse (since inheritance permits only vertical reuse) and the possibility to do Dependency Injection ...

Q: What is wrong with my missile trajectory model?

I'm trying to make a (simple!) trajectory model of a missile that is launched from the surface in a certain angle. The missile applies force to go forward until it's fuel has run out. I thought I had it figured out right. But when I simulated some trajectories I found out that the angle with opti...

What kind of behavior would one expect from push() ing a node to the front of an empty linked list? By that I mean it is only the head pointer

Hosch250

Well, I would expect that it links to itself if it is a circularly linked list.

If it isn't a circularly linked list, then it links to null, I guess.

I posted my latest analyzer/code fix on CR.

Take that, R#.

Q: Field Can Be Made Readonly

Here is my Field Can Be Made Readonly analyzer and quick fix. I would appreciate tips on how to improve my code, and on missed test cases. First, the rules it works with: It will only fire on private fields to make things simpler (fields in other scopes should be properties, anyway). If the f...

OK, how do you contact someone about a copyright when the postmaster returns email sent to the posted address?

And they don't have any other contact methods listed?

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because "better" is opinion based. You might be able to adapt this into a question that would be on-topic for code review. — Quentin 56 secs ago

This really seems like a question better suited for softwareengineering.stackexchange.com or codereview.stackexchange.com.

Is there a way to get the member's name of an UnaryExpression ?

Duga

There is another site on StackExchange, called CodeReview, to answer questions such as you have asked. — Scott Hunter just now

Code Review is only appropriate if there's code (and the other conditions given in the Help Center there are met). This is too broad for SO as-asked, but it's not a fit for CR either. — Charles Duffy 44 secs ago

@t3chb0t You misunderstood what I'm doing there.

I'm not finding symbols to report, I'm finding ones that can't be reported...

I like your idea of a hashmap though.

@Vogel612 That last one should be interesting.

How should my question look ? Do I've explained pretty much everything in the answer should I just put a link to it or rather copy paste it into my question's body ?

Vogel612

the code needs to be present in the question. Why not read some other questions in the same tag to see how those are done?

This is probably a better fit for codereview.stackexchange. — Michael0x2a 58 secs ago

If the code works without any errors (hard to see, with such a huge dump), you can ask on Code Review. Make sure to read their guidelines first. — Rad Lexus 21 secs ago
