Description of Change
Prevent the GC from collecting
this
and some cases where we no longer reference the object, just pixel data.Reading pixels takes long enough that the GC will collect the object. Use GC.KeepAlive to prevent this.
Often the cause is that we go
SKImage
->SKPixmap
. This basically tells the GC that the bitmap is free, but in actual fact it is not - the pixmap is just a pointer to the pixel data.Bugs Fixed
API Changes
None.
