public static void ZeroMemory(Span<byte> buffer);static member ZeroMemory : Span<byte> -> unitPublic Shared Sub ZeroMemory (buffer As Span(Of Byte))This method exists to future-proof against potential optimizations in the .NET runtime that could eliminate memory writes that aren't followed by memory reads.
