Syntax

public static class NativeMemoryExtensions

Methods

AsBytes<T>(T*)

Converts contiguous memory identified by the specified pointer into Span<T>.

Declaration

[CLSCompliant(false)]
public static Span<byte> AsBytes<T>(T* pointer) where T : unmanaged, allows ref struct

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
T*	pointer	The typed pointer.

Returns

Type	Description
Span<byte>	The span of contiguous memory.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	Blittable type.

Compare(void*, void*, nuint)

Bitwise comparison of two memory blocks.

Declaration

[CLSCompliant(false)]
public static int Compare(void* first, void* second, nuint length)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
void*	first	The pointer to the first memory block.
void*	second	The pointer to the second memory block.
nuint	length	The length of the first and second memory blocks.

Returns

Type	Description
int	Comparison result which has the semantics as return type of CompareTo(object).

CopyUnaligned<T>(T*, T*)

Copies one value into another assuming unaligned memory access.

Declaration

[CLSCompliant(false)]
public static void CopyUnaligned<T>(T* input, T* output) where T : unmanaged

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
T*	input	The reference to the source location.
T*	output	The reference to the destination location.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The value type to copy.

Copy<T>(T*, T*)

Copies one value into another.

Declaration

[CLSCompliant(false)]
public static void Copy<T>(T* input, T* output) where T : unmanaged

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
T*	input	The reference to the source location.
T*	output	The reference to the destination location.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The value type to copy.

Equals(void*, void*, nuint)

Computes equality between two blocks of memory.

Declaration

[CLSCompliant(false)]
public static bool Equals(void* first, void* second, nuint length)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
void*	first	A pointer to the first memory block.
void*	second	A pointer to the second memory block.
nuint	length	Length of first and second memory blocks, in bytes.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	true, if both memory blocks have the same data; otherwise, false.

PointerHashCode(void*)

Computes transient hash code of the specified pointer.

Declaration

[CLSCompliant(false)]
public static int PointerHashCode(void* pointer)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
void*	pointer	The pointer value.

Returns

Type	Description
int	The hash code of the pointer.

Swap<T>(T*, T*)

Swaps two values.

Declaration

[CLSCompliant(false)]
public static void Swap<T>(T* first, T* second) where T : unmanaged

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
T*	first	The first value to be replaced with second.
T*	second	The second value to be replaced with first.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of the value.
