Does this generate unsafe c# or safe c# code? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

No. The generated C# is unsafe, and uses pointers under the hood. The optimization pipeline removes some of the unsafely, but, for performance reasons, the code is fundamentally unsafe. In principle, Rust could be compiled to safe C#, but this is not something I am working on. |

I just mean using things like memory, spam, ref, in, and out instead of raw pointers. Is that really slower then exposing raw pointers? |
