abstract member GetSpan : int -> Span<'T>
Public Function GetSpan (Optional sizeHint As Integer = 0) As Span(Of T)
Parameters
Returns
A Span<T> of at least the size sizeHint
. If sizeHint
is 0, returns a non-empty buffer.
Remarks
There is no guarantee that successive calls will return the same buffer or the same-sized buffer.
This method must never return Span<T>.Empty, but it can throw if the requested buffer size is not available.
You must request a new buffer after calling Advance
to continue writing more data; you cannot write to a previously acquired buffer.
