Abstract

Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for allowing accesses to unmanaged memory. An unmanaged memory application programming interface is provided for allowing accesses to unmanaged memory. The application programming interface has a constructor, dispose method, read method, and write method. The constructor allows an instance of an unmanaged memory object to be created. The dispose method allows the instance of the unmanaged object to be controlled. The read method accepts a pointer as a parameter and yields a structure containing one or more values that were read. The write method performs a write operation to a specified location. The application programming interface enables random access to previously allocated unmanaged memory in a type-safe and memory-safe way, with the random access being allowed to any location within the unmanaged memory.
