Methods
Free(Type, UInt32, Array)
Adds the given array to the allocator pool. Note that the array need not have been allocated via malloc.
Declaration
public virtual void Free(Type arrayType, uint size, Array array)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |

| Type | arrayType | |
| UInt32 | size | |
| Array | array |
Remarks
Note that objects returned to the allocator pool will not be garbage collected and will not be disposed.
FreeHandle(Type, Object)
Adds the given handle to the allocator pool. Note that the handle need not have been allocated via malloc.
Declaration
public virtual void FreeHandle(Type type, object handle)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Type | type | |
| Object | handle |
Remarks
Note that objects returned to the allocator pool will not be garbage collected and will not be disposed.
FreeHandle<T>(T)

Declaration
public virtual void FreeHandle<T>(T handle)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| T | handle |
Type Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| T |

Malloc<T>(UInt32)
Allocates a new array of type T, returning ownership to the caller. Uses an existing array from the pool if available.
Declaration
public virtual T[] Malloc<T>(uint size)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| UInt32 | size | The number of elements to allocate in the array |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| T[] |
Type Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| T | The element type of the array |
MallocHandle(Type)
