RunByRef<T>(T, int)
public static void RunByRef<T>(this ref T jobData, int arrayLength) where T : struct, IJobFor
Parameters
This job's Execute method will be called this many times, with its index argument ranging from 0 to (arrayLength - 1). Typically, this corresponds to the length of an array or array-like container passed in the job struct, but this is not necessarily the case.
Remarks
This variant passes the job struct by reference instead of by value, which can be faster than IJobForExtensions.Run for larger job structs. Note that worker threads always operate on a local copy of the job struct.
While this method is useful in development or test environments, it is typically a mistake to use it in production; it offers no real benefits over implementing the job code as a simple main-thread function call. To schedule a job to run asynchronously, use IJobForExtensions.ScheduleByRef.
