MemLib

This tiny library is an aligned memory allocator for managed and unmanaged memory. Also it can return an allocated memory in the existing buffer.

🚀 Features

  • Can allocate and return alligned memory as Span<T>, Memory<T> or MemoryManager<T>.
  • For methods that directly return Span<T> or Memory<T> - the backed storage is a managed byte array with type of byte[T].
  • For methods that return MemoryManager<T> - the backed storage is either unmanaged byte array with type of byte[T] or managed byte array with type of byte[T] which is pooled by ArrayPool.
  • For perfomance resons methods of MemAlloc.Unsafe class don't zero their backint memory buffers and don't do any arguments validation checks.
  • For sefty resons methodss of MemAlloc.Safe class does do arguments validation checks by cost of addition processor time and for perfomance resons thei don't zero their backing memory buffers.
  • MemAlloc.Unsafe.Zeroed and MemAlloc.Safe.Zeroed members do initialize by zero their buffers but with addition perfomance cost.
  • For already allocated memory buffer can return Span<T>, contained a managed allocated pointer in that buffer (especially for stack allocation).
  • Helper methods in MemAlloc.Address class contain address alignment manipulation functions.
