NativeMemory

Important bits and pieces

  • NativeArray<T>: Access native data

  • NativeArrayPool<T>: Just like ArrayPool, pools native arrays

  • INativeAllocator

    • HGlobalMemAllocator: Allocates memory using Marshal.AllocHGlobal
    • CoTaskMemAllocator: Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem

Sample Code

Using the ArrayPool:

// allocates a new array with 10 bytes
var array = new NativeArray<byte>(10);
array.Dispose();

// Borrow an array of 200 bytes
array = NativeArrayPool<byte>.SharedHGlobal.Rent(200);

// Return the array to the pool.
NativeArrayPool<byte>.SharedHGlobal.Return(array);

// Borrow an array of 200 bytes and return it using the dispose pattern.
using (array = NativeArrayPool<byte>.SharedHGlobal.Rent(200))
{

}

Thanks

Special thanks to the guys from Poltergeist, where i mostly stole this code got my inspiration from.
