MonoBitsets are a set of routines used to manipulate sets - of bits. - -
GHashTable is used when you need to store object - references into a hashtable, objects stored in a - MonoGHashTable are properly tracked by the garbage - collector. - -
The MonoGHashTable data type has the same API as - the GLIB. - -
Raw buffers provide an abstraction to load segments of - files into memory. If the operating system supports it, the - files are not loaded, but are mapped into the address space of - the process (On Unix, this is done using the mmap(2) - system call). - -
Memory pools are a convenient way of tracking memory - allocations that are used for one specific task, they are also - faster than using the standard memory allocation procedures, - as they are designed to be used only by a single thread at a - time. - -
MonoMemPool objects are not thread safe, which - means that you should not share the objects across multiple - threads without providing proper locking around it (unlike - malloc and free which are thread safe). - -
When a MonoMemPool is released with - mono_mempool_destroy all of the of the memory - allocated from that memory pool with - mono_mempool_alloc and mono_mempool_alloc0 - is released. - -
