Struct UnsafeStream

A deterministic data streaming supporting parallel reading and parallel writing. Allows you to write different types or arrays into a single stream.

Namespace: Unity.Collections.LowLevel.Unsafe

Syntax

public struct UnsafeStream : IDisposable

Constructors

UnsafeStream(Int32, Allocator)

Constructs a new UnsafeStream using the specified type of memory allocation.

Declaration

public UnsafeStream(int foreachCount, Allocator allocator)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	foreachCount
Allocator	allocator

Properties

ForEachCount

Declaration

public int ForEachCount { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Int32

IsCreated

Reports whether memory for the container is allocated.

Declaration

public bool IsCreated { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	True if this container object's internal storage has been allocated.

Remarks

Note that the container storage is not created if you use the default constructor. You must specify at least an allocation type to construct a usable container.

Methods

AsReader()

Returns reader instance.

Declaration

public UnsafeStream.Reader AsReader()

Returns

Type	Description
UnsafeStream.Reader	Reader instance

AsWriter()

Returns writer instance.

Declaration

public UnsafeStream.Writer AsWriter()

Returns

Type	Description
UnsafeStream.Writer	Writer instance

Count()

The current number of items in the container.

Declaration

public int Count()

Returns

Type	Description
Int32	The item count.

Dispose()

Disposes of this stream and deallocates its memory immediately.

Declaration

public void Dispose()

Dispose(JobHandle)

Safely disposes of this container and deallocates its memory when the jobs that use it have completed.

Declaration

public JobHandle Dispose(JobHandle inputDeps)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
JobHandle	inputDeps	All jobs spawned will depend on this JobHandle.

Returns

Type	Description
JobHandle	A new job handle containing the prior handles as well as the handle for the job that deletes the container.

Remarks

You can call this function dispose of the container immediately after scheduling the job. Pass the JobHandle returned by the Job.Schedule method using the jobHandle parameter so the job scheduler can dispose the container after all jobs using it have run.

IsEmpty()

Reports whether container is empty.

Declaration

public bool IsEmpty()

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	True if this container empty.

ScheduleConstruct(out UnsafeStream, NativeArray<Int32>, JobHandle, Allocator)

Schedule job to construct a new UnsafeStream using the specified type of memory allocation.

Declaration

public static JobHandle ScheduleConstruct(out UnsafeStream stream, NativeArray<int> lengthFromIndex0, JobHandle dependency, Allocator allocator)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
UnsafeStream	stream
NativeArray<Int32>	lengthFromIndex0
JobHandle	dependency	All jobs spawned will depend on this JobHandle.
Allocator	allocator	A member of the Unity.Collections.Allocator enumeration.

Returns

Type	Description
JobHandle

ScheduleConstruct<T>(out UnsafeStream, NativeList<T>, JobHandle, Allocator)

Schedule job to construct a new UnsafeStream using the specified type of memory allocation.

Declaration

public static JobHandle ScheduleConstruct<T>(out UnsafeStream stream, NativeList<T> forEachCountFromList, JobHandle dependency, Allocator allocator)
    where T : struct

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
UnsafeStream	stream
NativeList<T>	forEachCountFromList
JobHandle	dependency	All jobs spawned will depend on this JobHandle.
Allocator	allocator	A member of the Unity.Collections.Allocator enumeration.

Returns

Type	Description
JobHandle

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T

ToNativeArray<T>(Allocator)

Copies stream data into NativeArray.

Declaration

public NativeArray<T> ToNativeArray<T>(Allocator allocator)
    where T : struct

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Allocator	allocator	A member of the Unity.Collections.Allocator enumeration.

Returns

Type	Description
NativeArray<T>	A new NativeArray, allocated with the given strategy and wrapping the stream data.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of value.

Remarks

The array is a copy of stream data.
