These points needs to be remember.
1. As pointers are not safe from memory point of view. So they are categories as unsafe/unmanaged code.
2. If you want some work having pointer you must have unsafe keyword with function declaration.
static unsafe void Check() {}
3. Unsafe code is handled by OS directly not by CLR.
4. Unmanaged object's address can be accessible through it.
An example having string,int points use
static unsafe void Check()
{
string s = "saurabh";
string s1 = "saurabh";
int x = 10;
int y = 10;
fixed (char* pointer = s1)
{
Console.WriteLine("dsds");
}
fixed (char* pointer1 = s)
{
Console.WriteLine("dsds");
}
//void* add1 = &s;
//void* add2 = &y;
//Console.WriteLine(x, (int)add1, *add1);
}
}
Note : To build unmanaged code from c sharp or vs you have to allow build unsafe code from project property build tag.
