Passing Unmanaged Pointer as Pixels buffer in ImageSharp about imagesharp HOT 5 CLOSED

In addition especially for server side processing, as right now images allocate array on the .NET Heap ( which inevitable end up on the LOH etc.. ) it would be great to use this to store the image data in off heap memory using unsafe operations... maybe introduce a base interface like IPixelStorage with a provider IPixelStorageProvider that allows different strategies to be put int

We are currently waiting for reliable VS2017 tooling (for C#7 ref returns) and for new official corefx packages for Span<T> and other low level memory management stuff.

I think we could introduce design changes based on these features. 👍 for something like IPixelStorageProvider.

I see, so it potentially possible that Mono would not be supported in this case. (I don't know if it's still maintained to backport Corefx.)

No that should be fine. Mono supports NetStandard
