Description
#54006 introduced new NativeMemory APIs that wrap malloc
, calloc
, realloc
, and aligned_alloc
. We should audit existing usages of Marshal.AllocHGlobal
for cases where it can be safely replaced with malloc
.
Notably cases like StringToPtrHGlobal
do not qualify as they are documented to be a call to LocalAlloc
on Windows. However, on Unix and in cases where this is not a definitive contract, it should be safe to replace these calls with faster ones to NativeMemory
.
