Список C# <двойной> размер по сравнению с двойным [] размер

List uses an array to store values/references, so I doubt there there will be any difference in size apart from what little overhead List adds.

Given the code below

var size = 1000000;
var numbers = new List<double>(size);
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
   numbers.Add(0d);
}

the heap looks like this for the relevant object

sizeof(02eb3250) =      8000012 (    0x7a120c) bytes (System.Double[])

So the List is 8,000,036 bytes, and the underlying array is 8,000,012 bytes. This fits well with the usual 12 bytes overhead for a reference type (Array) and 1,000,000 times 8 bytes for the doubles. On top of that List adds another 24 bytes of overhead for the fields shown above.

Conclusion: I don't see any evidence that List will take up less space than double[] for the same number of elements.
