Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of the target that the pointer points to.

Remarks

PersistentSequencePointer<T> has the following characteristics:

• Non-nullableYou can access the pointer's target directly without checking for null.
• PersistentThe pointer's target outlives the pointer's initial scope. You can let the pointer escape the current scope and store it for later access. No guarantees are made about how long the target will remain valid or who owns it.
• Contiguous sequenceThe pointer points to a contiguous sequence of targets. You can access the pointer's target objects individually via indexing. You can perform pointer arithmetic with the pointer.
• Read-writeYou can read and write the pointer's target.
• TypedThe pointer points to a contiguous sequence of targets of type T.

You should never create instances of PersistentSequencePointer<T> using its parameterless constructors or default(PersistentSequencePointer<T>). Doing so will result in undefined behavior. Always use the FromRaw(T*), FromIntPtr(nint), or FromUIntPtr(nuint) methods to create instances of PersistentSequencePointer<T> pointers.

Constructors

Name	Description
PersistentSequencePointer()	Do not use. Do not create instances of non-nullable pointers using parameterless constructors or default values.
