ScheduleByRef<T>(T, JobHandle)
public static JobHandle ScheduleByRef<T>(this ref T jobData, JobHandle dependsOn = default) where T : struct, IJob
Parameters
The dependency of the job. Dependencies ensure that a job executes on worker threads after the dependency has completed execution, and that two jobs reading or writing to same data do not run in parallel.
Returns
Type | Description |
|---|---|
| JobHandle | The handle identifying the scheduled job, which you can use as a dependency for a later job or to ensure completion on the main thread. |
Remarks
This variant passes the job struct by reference instead of by value, which can be faster than IJobExtensions.Schedule for larger job structs. Note that worker threads always operate on a local copy of the job struct.
