Struct BlobAssetReference<T>
A reference to a blob asset stored in unmanaged memory.
Namespace: Unity.Entities
Syntax
public struct BlobAssetReference<T> : IDisposable, IEquatable<BlobAssetReference<T>> where T : struct
Type Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| T | The struct data type defining the data structure of the blob asset. |
Remarks
Create a blob asset using a BlobBuilder or by deserializing a serialized blob asset.
Properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| IsCreated | Reports whether this instance references a valid blob asset. |
| Null | A "null" blob asset reference that can be used to test if a BlobAssetReference instance |
| Value | A reference to the blob asset data, a struct of type T that is stored in the blob asset. |
Methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Create(T) | Creates a blob asset from an instance of a struct. |
| Create(Byte[]) | Creates a blob asset from a byte array. |
| Create(Void*, Int32) | Creates a blob asset from a pointer to data and a specified size. |
| Dispose() | Destroys the referenced blob asset and frees its memory. |
| Equals(Object) | Two BlobAssetReferences are equal when they reference the same data. |
| Equals(BlobAssetReference<T>) | Two BlobAssetReferences are equal when they reference the same data. |
| GetHashCode() | Generates the hash code for this object. |
| GetUnsafePtr() | Provides an unsafe pointer to the blob asset data. |
| TryRead(String, Int32, out BlobAssetReference<T>) | Reads bytes from a fileName, validates the expected serialized version, and deserializes them into a new blob asset. |
| TryRead<U>(U, Int32, out BlobAssetReference<T>) | Reads bytes from a binary reader, validates the expected serialized version, and deserializes them into a new blob asset. |
| Write(BlobBuilder, String, Int32) | Writes the blob data to a path with serialized version. |
| Write<U>(U, BlobBuilder, Int32) | Writes the blob data to a path with serialized version. |
Operators
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Equality(BlobAssetReference<T>, BlobAssetReference<T>) | Two BlobAssetReferences are equal when they reference the same data. |
| Inequality(BlobAssetReference<T>, BlobAssetReference<T>) | Two BlobAssetReferences are not equal unless they reference the same data. |
