Memory.Extensions

Memory utils for convenient work with memory, arrays and pointers.
The library is mainly intended for use with native code, such as C++ or in conjunction with Native AOT. All actions are carried out with the heap, all allocated pointers do not change the address, so they can be safely used from any part of the code

Allocating memory

void* ptr = Memory.Alloc(6); // Allocates 6 bytes in memory
// ...
Memory.Free(ptr); // Free pointer

You can use other overloads of Alloc method for convenient work

int* ptr = Memory.Alloc<int>(6); // Allocates sizeof(int) * 6 bytes in memory

Allocating strings

string managedString = "Some unicode string";
using CoMem strCo = new CoMem(managedString, CoStrType.Uni);

ushort* unmanagedStringPtr = (ushort*)strCo;
//...
