Method GetDynamicComponentDataArrayReinterpret

GetDynamicComponentDataArrayReinterpret<T>(ref DynamicComponentTypeHandle, int)

Construct a NativeArray view of a chunk's component data.

Declaration
public readonly NativeArray<T> GetDynamicComponentDataArrayReinterpret<T>(ref DynamicComponentTypeHandle typeHandle, int expectedTypeSize) where T : struct
Parameters
Type Name Description
DynamicComponentTypeHandle typeHandle

Type handle for the target component type
int expectedTypeSize

The expected size (in bytes) of the target component type. It is an error to pass a size that does not match the target type's actual size.
Returns
Type Description
NativeArray<T>

A NativeArray which aliases the chunk's component value array for type T. The array does not own this data, and does not need to be disposed when it goes out of scope.
Type Parameters
Name Description
T

The target component type
Exceptions
Type Condition
ArgumentException

Thrown if T is an IBufferElementData. Use GetBufferAccessor<T>(ref BufferTypeHandle<T>) instead.
InvalidOperationException

Thrown if expectedTypeSize does not match the actual size of T, or if the data may not be safely aliased due to size constraints.
