Methods

Add<T>(T, Int32)

Adds an element offset to the given reference.
Add<T>(T, IntPtr)

Adds an element offset to the given reference.
Add<T>(Void*, Int32)

Adds an element offset to the given void pointer.
AddByteOffset<T>(T, IntPtr)

Adds a byte offset to the given reference.
AreSame<T>(T, T)

Determines whether the specified references point to the same location.
As<T>(Object)

Casts the given object to the specified type.
As<TFrom,TTo>(TFrom)

Reinterprets the given reference as a reference to a value of type TTo.
AsPointer<T>(T)

Returns a pointer to the given by-ref parameter.
AsRef<T>(T)

Reinterprets the given read-only reference as a reference.
AsRef<T>(Void*)

Reinterprets the given location as a reference to a value of type T.
ByteOffset<T>(T, T)

Determines the byte offset from origin to target from the given references.
Copy<T>(T, Void*)

Copies a value of type T to the given location.
Copy<T>(Void*, T)

Copies a value of type T to the given location.
CopyBlock(Byte, Byte, UInt32)

Copies bytes from the source address to the destination address.
CopyBlock(Void*, Void*, UInt32)

Initializes a block of memory at the given location with a given initial value without assuming architecture dependent alignment of the address.
InitBlockUnaligned(Void*, Byte, UInt32)

Initializes a block of memory at the given location with a given initial value without assuming architecture dependent alignment of the address.
IsAddressGreaterThan<T>(T, T)

Returns a value that indicates whether a specified reference is greater than another specified reference.
IsAddressLessThan<T>(T, T)

Returns a value that indicates whether a specified reference is less than another specified reference.
Read<T>(Void*)

Reads a value of type T from the given location.
ReadUnaligned<T>(Byte)
