System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Identify and apply the most efficient scratch-buffer strategy to minimize allocations and zeroing on hot paths in .NET applications across net481 and net10.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Options: [SkipLocalsInit] with stackalloc, zeroed stackalloc, BufferScope<T> with stack-then-pool fallback, and ArrayPool<T>.Shared renting.
  • Guidance: Provides a decision tree and crossover thresholds to pick the cheapest valid path for given buffer size and lifetime, with cross-framework considerations.
  • Use Case: When profiling a hot path that allocates a short-lived scratch buffer and you need to minimize allocations and zeroing while staying within stack limits.

Quick Start

Use the recommended scratch-buffer strategy for a hot-path buffer decision in your codebase.
