I was thinking maybe when using a collection initializer the compiler (or whatever component has this job) might have set the capacity implicit to minimize operations

List, Collection Initializer and Capacity

Thanks everyone. So I should specify the capacity manually in the constructor to accommodate for the number of elements if the collection initializer if the code is in a hot path.

List, Collection Initializer and Capacity

My question is‚ when using a collection initializer with n elements‚ is new List<T>() {...} be as efficient as new List<T>(n) {...}. It would seem logical but I can't find the information nor do I know how to test it.

List, Collection Initializer and Capacity

I think the docs say new List<T> starts at 0 (instead of 4)?

Compression with real time compressed size estimation

I see BouncyCastle has a ZLib implementation that allow querying the total number of bytes so far. I think I'll use that.

Compression with real time compressed size estimation

I want to group small data messages (1-1000 bytes) into message batches while compressing messages within a batch, maximizing the number of messages in a batch but each batch has a hard size limit and I can't go over a single byte. I don't want to have to guess and start over many times.

Casting from int to uint and back

Thanks everyone! Yes I tested it on my machine but I wanted to make sure I could rely on it the result wasn't undefined / an implementation detail.
