Parameters

Type	Name	Description
NativeList<T>	nativeList	NativeList to be converted.
int	length	The count of elements.
AllocatorManager.AllocatorHandle	allocator	The Allocator to use.

Returns

Type	Description
NativeArray<T>	Returns the NativeArray that was created.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of the elements.

Remarks

There is a caveat if users would like to transfer memory ownership from the NativeList to the converted NativeArray. NativeList implementation includes two memory allocations, one holds its header, another holds the list data. After convertion, the converted NativeArray holds the list data and dispose the array only free the list data. Users need to manually free the list header to avoid memory leaks, for example after convertion call, AllocatorManager.Free(allocator, nativeList.m_ListData);
