Switch vs Dictionary

By

Revin cu cateva informatii suplimentare pe tema switch vs dictionary ca o continuare a postului

Putem-sa-inlocuim-switch-case

In cazul in care avem un switch simplu care nu are nevoie sa sara de la un case la altul, codul IL care se genereaza in spate o sa fie foarte simplu si rapid. Se genereaza ceva de genul:

IL_0002: ldloc.0
IL_0003: switch (
IL_0016,
IL_001e,
IL_0026)
IL_0014: br.s IL_002e

Dar cand de la un case se sare la un alt case deja IL generat se complica si ar fi bine sa se faca un review la cod. Codul generat mai jos este pentru un switch care are cateva case-uri goale( au fost adaugate doar pentru ca sa avem un cod cat mai readeable) si un case ce nu are break. In cazul acesta, pierderea de performanta este de aproape 50%. Sursa: http://weblogs.asp.net/justin_rogers/archive/2004/03/25/95806.aspx

IL_0002: ldloc.0
IL_0003: switch (
IL_002e,
IL_0036,
IL_003e,
IL_0056,
IL_0056,
IL_0056,
IL_0056,
IL_0046,
IL_004e)
IL_002c: br.s IL_0056

Pentru cazul acesta putem folosii dictionarul cu success. Pe partea de value la dictionar, putem folosii o lista de functii, care o sa fie apelate pe rand, cand o sa avem nevoie de un switch fara break. In cazul unor flow-uri mai complexe ar trebui sa ne implementam un mecanism de workflow.

Recomandari pentru switch:

  • blocuri compacte, fiecare case sa aiba break;
  • expresia comparata sa fie de tip enum sau cu int cu valori fixe( fara intervale de genul: 1 .. 20 si 40 .. 100);
  • char in loc de string-uri( si enum in loc de char);

Daca aveti nevoie de performanta, iar continutul din case nu este complex( nu trebuie sa se apeleze si alte blocuri case la randul sau), switch-ul o sa fie mult mai performant. Dar atentie, in cazul in care in expresia de la switch avem string, folosirea unui dictionar, hashtable sau a unui switch o sa aibe rezultate asemanatoare in IL. Switch-ul o sa fie generat pentru expresii de tip string ca si un hashtable.

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

By
After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

By
Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...
