Overview

InlineCollection is a library that provides zero-allocation stack-based collections for Unity.

Since Unity uses a relatively old C# version (C# 10), it cannot utilize features like InlineArray or collection expressions that are available in C# 12 and later.

While stackalloc can be used in Unity, it can only create Spans of unmanaged types and cannot allocate arrays of managed types on the stack.

This library adds:

An InlineCollection feature equivalent to the InlineArray available in C# 12 and later
A convenient functionality to convert ValueTuple to Span

Installation

dotnet

dotnet add package

Usage

Tuple To Span

You can convert a ValueTuple to a Span:

var span = (1, 2, 3).AsSpan();

foreach (var i in span)
{
    Debug.Log(i);
}

Note that all elements in the tuple must be of the same type.

InlineCollection

You can create array-like structures by adding the InlineCollection attribute to a partial struct:

[InlineCollection(length: 3)]
public partial struct SampleInlineCollection<T> {}

Usage example:

using InlineCollection;

var sample = new SampleInlineCollection<string>("a", "b", "C");

sample[0] = "a";

foreach (var s in sample)
{
    Debug.Log(s);
}

You can also convert it to a Span:

Span<string> span = sample.AsSpan();

Additionally, you can specify a specific element type by adding type information as an argument to the InlineCollection attribute:

[InlineCollection(elementType: typeof(int), length: 3)]
public partial struct SampleInlineCollection {}

Example:

var sample = new SampleInlineCollection(0, 1, 2);
