ReadOnlyAttribute

説明

The ReadOnly attribute lets you mark a member of a struct used in a job as read-only.

Native containers are read-write by default when used in a job. This means that you cannot schedule two jobs referencing the same containers simultaneously. By adding the ReadOnly attribute to the container field in the job struct the container is marked as read-only, which allows two jobs to run in parallel reading data from the same container.
