Struct BufferSerializer<TReaderWriter>

Two-way serializer wrapping FastBufferReader or FastBufferWriter.

Implemented as a ref struct to help enforce the requirement that the BufferSerializer cannot outlive the FBR/FBW it wraps or using it will cause a crash

BufferSerializer doesn't wrap FastBufferReader or FastBufferWriter directly because it can't. ref structs can't implement interfaces, and in order to be able to have two different implementations with the same interface (which allows us to avoid an "if(IsReader)" on every call), the thing directly wrapping the struct has to implement an interface. So IReaderWriter exists as the interface, which is implemented by a normal struct, while the ref struct wraps the normal one to enforce the two above requirements. (Allowing direct access to the IReaderWriter struct would allow dangerous things to happen because the struct's lifetime could outlive the Reader/Writer's.)

Syntax

public ref struct BufferSerializer<TReaderWriter>
    where TReaderWriter : IReaderWriter

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TReaderWriter	The implementation struct

Properties

IsReader

Check if the contained implementation is a reader

Declaration

public readonly bool IsReader { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean

Check if the contained implementation is a writer

Declaration

public readonly bool IsWriter { get; }

Type	Description
Boolean

Methods

GetFastBufferReader()

Retrieves the FastBufferReader instance. Only valid if IsReader = true, throws InvalidOperationException otherwise.

Declaration

public FastBufferReader GetFastBufferReader()

Returns

Type	Description
FastBufferReader	Reader instance

GetFastBufferWriter()

Retrieves the FastBufferWriter instance. Only valid if IsWriter = true, throws InvalidOperationException otherwise.

PreCheck(Int32)

Performs an advance check to ensure space is available to read/write one or more values. This provides a performance benefit for serializing multiple values using the SerializeValuePreChecked methods. But note that the benefit is small and only likely to be noticeable if serializing a very large number of items.

Declaration

public bool PreCheck(int amount)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	amount

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean
