The main purpose is that limited number of frequently used objects can be kept in the pool for further recycling. Notes: 1) it is not the goal to keep all returned objects. Pool is not meant for storage. If there is no space in the pool, extra returned objects will be dropped. 2) it is implied that if object was obtained from a pool, the caller will return it back in a relatively short time. Keeping checked out objects for long durations is ok, but reduces usefulness of pooling. Just new up your own. Not returning objects to the pool in not detrimental to the pool's work, but is a bad practice. Rationale: If there is no intent for reusing the object, do not use pool - just use "new". Not using System.Func{T} because this file is linked into the (debugger) Formatter, which does not have that type (since it compiles against .NET 2.0). Produces an instance. Search strategy is a simple linear probing which is chosen for it cache-friendliness.

This is called when an object is returned to the pool. It may also be explicitly called if an object allocated from the pool is intentionally not being returned to the pool. This can be of use with pooled arrays if the consumer wants to return a larger array to the pool than was originally allocated. this is RAII object to automatically release pooled object when its owning pool Shared object pool for roslyn Use this shared pool if only concern is reducing object allocations. if perf of an object pool itself is also a concern, use ObjectPool directly. For example, if you want to create a million of small objects within a second, use the ObjectPool directly. it should have much less overhead than using this. pool that uses default constructor with 100 elements pooled pool that uses default constructor with 20 elements pooled pool that uses string as key with StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase as key comparer pool that uses string as element with StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase as element comparer pool that uses string as element with StringComparer.Ordinal as element comparer Used to reduce the # of temporary byte[]s created to satisfy serialization and other I/O requests pooled memory : 4K * 512 = 4MB Manages pools of RecyclableMemoryStream objects. There are two pools managed in here. The small pool contains same-sized buffers that are handed to streams as they write more data. For scenarios that need to call GetBuffer(), the large pool contains buffers of various sizes, all multiples/exponentials of LargeBufferMultiple (1 MB by default). They are split by size to avoid overly-wasteful buffer usage. There should be far fewer 8 MB buffers than 1 MB buffers, for example.

Whether dirty buffers can be immediately returned to the buffer pool. E.g. when GetBuffer() is called on a stream and creates a single large buffer, if this setting is enabled, the other blocks will be returned to the buffer pool immediately. Note when enabling this setting that the user is responsible for ensuring that any buffer previously retrieved from a stream which is subsequently modified is not used after modification (as it may no longer be valid). Causes an exception to be thrown if ToArray is ever called. Calling ToArray defeats the purpose of a pooled buffer. Use this property to discover code that is calling ToArray.

MemoryStream implementation that deals with pooling and managing memory streams which use potentially large buffers. This class works in tandem with the RecyclableMemoryStreamManager to supply MemoryStream objects to callers, while avoiding these specific problems: 1. LOH allocations - since all large buffers are pooled, they will never incur a Gen2 GC 2. Memory waste - A standard memory stream doubles its size when it runs out of room. This leads to continual memory growth as each stream approaches the maximum allowed size. 3. Memory copying - Each time a MemoryStream grows, all the bytes are copied into new buffers. This implementation only copies the bytes when GetBuffer is called. 4. Memory fragmentation - By using homogeneous buffer sizes, it ensures that blocks of memory can be easily reused. The stream is implemented on top of a series of uniformly-sized blocks. As the stream's length grows, additional blocks are retrieved from the memory manager. It is these blocks that are pooled, not the stream object itself. The biggest wrinkle in this implementation is when GetBuffer() is called. This requires a single contiguous buffer. If only a single block is in use, then that block is returned. If multiple blocks are in use, we retrieve a larger buffer from the memory manager. These large buffers are also pooled, split by size--they are multiples/exponentials of a chunk size (1 MB by default). Once a large buffer is assigned to the stream the small blocks are NEVER again used for this stream. All operations take place on the large buffer. The large buffer can be replaced by a larger buffer from the pool as needed. All blocks and large buffers are maintained in the stream until the stream is disposed (unless AggressiveBufferReturn is enabled in the stream manager). All of these blocks must be the same size This list is used to store buffers once they're replaced by something larger. This is for the cases where you have users of this class that may hold onto the buffers longer than they should and you want to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the data. This is only set by GetBuffer() if the necessary buffer is larger than a single block size, or on construction if the caller immediately requests a single large buffer. If this field is non-null, it contains the concatenation of the bytes found in the individual blocks. Once it is created, this (or a larger) largeBuffer will be used for the life of the stream.

A string identifying this stream for logging and debugging purposes The initial requested size to prevent future allocations An initial buffer to use. This buffer will be owned by the stream and returned to the memory manager upon Dispose. The finalizer will be called when a stream is not disposed properly. Failing to dispose indicates a bug in the code using streams. Care should be taken to properly account for stream lifetime. Returns the memory used by this stream back to the pool. Whether we're disposing (true), or being called by the finalizer (false) Equivalent to Dispose Gets or sets the capacity Capacity is always in multiples of the memory manager's block size, unless the large buffer is in use. Capacity never decreases during a stream's lifetime. Explicitly setting the capacity to a lower value than the current value will have no effect. This is because the buffers are all pooled by chunks and there's little reason to allow stream truncation. Writing past the current capacity will cause Capacity to automatically increase, until MaximumStreamCapacity is reached. Object has been disposed Gets the number of bytes written to this stream. Object has been disposed Gets the current position in the stream Object has been disposed Whether the stream can currently read Whether the stream can currently seek Always false Whether the stream can currently write Returns a single buffer containing the contents of the stream. The buffer may be longer than the stream length. A byte[] buffer IMPORTANT: Doing a Write() after calling GetBuffer() invalidates the buffer. The old buffer is held onto until Dispose is called, but the next time GetBuffer() is called, a new buffer from the pool will be required. Object has been disposed Returns an ArraySegment that wraps a single buffer containing the contents of the stream. An ArraySegment containing a reference to the underlying bytes. Always returns true. GetBuffer has no failure modes (it always returns something, even if it's an empty buffer), therefore this method always returns a valid ArraySegment to the same buffer returned by GetBuffer. Returns a new array with a copy of the buffer's contents. You should almost certainly be using GetBuffer combined with the Length to access the bytes in this stream. Calling ToArray will destroy the benefits of pooled buffers, but it is included for the sake of completeness.
