Migrate an old program to .net. There was a piece of code like this .
Public Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (Destination As Any, Source As Any, ByVal Length As Long) For n = 0 To 4 lbt(0) = strRead(n * 4 + 3 + 3) lbt(1) = strRead(n * 4 + 3 + 2) lbt(2) = strRead(n * 4 + 3 + 1) lbt(3) = strRead(n * 4 + 3) CopyMemory ByVal VarPtr(fTempData(n)), ByVal VarPtr(lbt(0)), 4 Next
Translate directly into C#, As a result, the running time is wrong Trying to read or write to protected memory . This usually indicates that other memory is corrupted .
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", EntryPoint = "RtlMoveMemory", CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)] public extern static long CopyMemory(IntPtr dest, IntPtr source, int size); for (n = 0; n <= 4; n++) { lbt[0] = bytRead[n * 4 + 3 + 3]; lbt[1] = bytRead[n * 4 + 3 + 2]; lbt[2] = bytRead[n * 4 + 3 + 1]; lbt[3] = bytRead[n * 4 + 3]; CopyMemory ((IntPtr)(fTempData[n]), (IntPtr)(lbt[0]), 4); }
In fact, this code is byte array to floating point number , You can use this code fTempData[n] = BitConverter.ToSingle(lbt, 0);
It can also be used. System.Buffer.BlockCopy(lbt, 0, fTempData, 0, 4); This is not involved unsafe operation
But this involves memory operations , I haven't studied it before C# unsafe Memory operations for . I thought that if you just open the program to allow unsafe code . Add... To the function unsafe Key words are enough . The result is not .
