CryptoHives.Foundation.Memory

NuGet Tests

Pooled buffer management for .NET, built to keep allocations and GC pressure out of high-throughput transformation pipelines and crypto workloads.

Installation

dotnet add package CryptoHives.Foundation.Memory

Key Features

  • Pooled memory streams — a MemoryStream replacement backed by ArrayPool<byte>.Shared; no resize-copy, no LOH pressure
  • Zero-copy handoff — expose written data as a ReadOnlySequence<byte> without copying anything
  • IBufferWriter<T> support — ArrayPoolBufferWriter<T> works directly with Utf8JsonWriter, PipeWriter, or any other IBufferWriter consumer
  • Read-only sequence streaming — wrap an existing ReadOnlySequence<byte> as a Stream without copying
  • RAII ownership — ObjectOwner<T> returns pooled objects automatically on dispose

Quick Examples

Pooled Memory Stream

using CryptoHives.Foundation.Memory.Buffers;

// Write data in chunks, then hand off as ReadOnlySequence — zero copy
using var stream = new ArrayPoolMemoryStream();

await stream.WriteAsync(headerBytes, ct).ConfigureAwait(false);
await stream.WriteAsync(payloadBytes, ct).ConfigureAwait(false);

// No copy — memory stays in the pool segments
ReadOnlySequence<byte> sequence = stream.GetReadOnlySequence();
await SendAsync(sequence, ct).ConfigureAwait(false);

// Pooled buffers are returned when the stream is disposed

Buffer Writer (e.g. with Utf8JsonWriter)

using CryptoHives.Foundation.Memory.Buffers;
using System.Text.Json;

using var writer = new ArrayPoolBufferWriter<byte>();
using var json   = new Utf8JsonWriter(writer);

json.WriteStartObject();
json.WriteString("key", "value");
json.WriteEndObject();
json.Flush();

ReadOnlySequence<byte> result = writer.GetReadOnlySequence();
await socket.SendAsync(result.First, WebSocketMessageType.Text, true, ct).ConfigureAwait(false);

// Pooled chunks returned on dispose

Read-Only Sequence as Stream

using CryptoHives.Foundation.Memory.Buffers;

// Consume an existing ReadOnlySequence<byte> through a Stream interface — zero copy
ReadOnlySequence<byte> data = pipeline.GetData();

using var stream = new ReadOnlySequenceMemoryStream(data);
await DeserializeFromStreamAsync(stream, ct).ConfigureAwait(false);

RAII Object Ownership

using CryptoHives.Foundation.Memory.Pools;

var pool = ObjectPools.Create<MyExpensiveObject>();

using var owner = new ObjectOwner<MyExpensiveObject>(pool);
MyExpensiveObject obj = owner.Object;

// Use obj...

// Automatically returned to the pool when owner is disposed — even on exception
