Managed and Unmanaged Memory is the last chapter of Part I, which not only shows using the IDisposable interface with the using statement and the new using declaration but also demonstrates using the Span type with managed and unmanaged memory. You can read about using Platform Invoke both with Windows and with Linux environments.
This chapter contains the following code samples:
- PointerPlayground (using pointers with C#, unsafe keyword)
- PointerPlayground2 (adding a struct)
- QuickArray (quick sorting using pointers, stackalloc keyword)
- ReferenceSemantics (ref return, ref local, ref readonly)
- SpanSample (the Span type)
- PlatformInvokeSample (invoking native methods from C#)
