Hi,
In our system we get image buffers through a native dll as void*. We want to
manage several of this blocks by C# objects an pass them wen needed to a
native image processing library.
What is the best way to do this? Can I just declare a unsafe pointer as
member of a class?
Best regards

You can also create managed buffers that will contain the same data as
unmanaged ones, and after processing synchronize managed with unmanaged
IMO another way is to create buffers in the managed side, pin them and then
pass to unmanaged lib.

Thomas,
You could create an unsafe pointer, but that would require most of your
code to be marked as unsafe (at least, anywhere that uses it).
A better idea would be to have a managed wrapper that exposes a Handle
property (or whatever you want to call it), which returns an IntPtr which
you can pass back to any unmanaged functions you need to.
Hope this helps.

I think Nicholas suggestion is better, you keep the data in the unmanaged
side, not need to copy it and in managed side you just keep a pointer ( an
IntPtr ) to the bufferr

Thank you very much, I think I now understand it better. So I only have to
mark the the region unsafe that assigns the pointer to the IntPtr. The
IntPtr Variable can be used e.g. assigned to another IntPtr without using
unsafe.

No really, the IntPtr will be assigned when you call the external method
using P/Invoke, from that moment all you have to do is carry it around.
You will have to release the memory after you are done with it though

I keep asking myself this question as I write class modules. What's the

For example, say I have a data access module that creates a large

I have a large object with many sub-objects. They may go down 4 or 5
levels and I'm not sure how best to code a method that does operations
on that data. Here's an attempt to make it an isolated example:
var level1={
info:"abc", //lots of other properties here alongside info
level2:{
moreinfo:"def", //lots of properties at this level too
level3: //various other level 3 objects
},

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
