I am very sorry to bring a topic up that has been beaten with an ugly
stick..... but...
If I want to "fix" an byte array for the life time of a program would it be
better allocating it on the unmanaged heap?
Yes I know that if I am to pin the object for long periods of time, that it
would be best to do it at the very initial start of the program so that it
prevents some fragmentation of the managed heap.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on the matter.

The word "fix" is somewhat confusing here. If you really only need to have
the byte array available for the lifetime of the appDomain, you can just add
the static modifier. Or, you could create a byte array property and make it
readonly.

Oops, sorry for the confusion....
I am using the array in an unsafe context. (via pointers.)
I do not want to continuously use the fixed(byte* ptr = myArray) statement,
so that leaves pinning via GCHandle, or allocating on the
unmanage heap.
Thanks for the responce.

With all due respect, not wanting to use the fixed statement is a very,
very poor reason to keep something pinned in memory like this.
Using an unmanaged buffer is only going to help if you are not going to
access the memory outside of an unsafe context. In that case, you would
have to marshal the memory block back to managed code (and then back to
unmanaged when you are done making changes to it, as well as more than
likely protect access with a lock, if concurrency is a concern).
Why do you not want to use the fixed statement?

Reasoning: (for better or worst)
The byte array is used throughout the life time of the program,
and would have to be fixed -least- every 20ms for processing.
The Idea is that the array would be up and out of the way from
the garbage collector, because there realy isnt a point in including
it in the gc process.
I know the fixed statement doesnt incurr much at all for pinnning,
atleast until the garbage collection cycle is triggered when the
object is pinned.

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.
