Constructors

StructRef(ref T)

Initializes a new instance of the StructRef<T> class out of a reference to a struct instance.

public StructRef(ref T value)

Parameters

value T

The struct instance whose reference to store initially.

Methods

GetReference()

Gets the stored struct instance reference.

public ref T GetReference()

Returns

T

The stored reference to the struct instance.

Remarks

It is recommended to refer to the remarks of SetReference(ref T).

SetReference(ref T)

Sets the struct reference to a reference of another struct instance.

public void SetReference(ref T value)

Parameters

value T

The struct instance whose reference to store.

Remarks

WARNING: The reference to the struct instance is not dynamically updated. If the GC moves the reference, a risk for memory corruption is induced.
One way to move the reference is if the unmanaged struct instance is a class instance field, which class instance is moved by the GC.
