The Stream.ReadByte method is implemented by allocating a 1 byte buffer and calling into Read(byte[], int, int). Override ReadByte in derived classes to avoid needing to allocate this small temp buffer.
Also, fix some bugs in the stream implementations. Remove Write capability from MergedStream that didn't make sense. Add guards into SegmentStream to ensure reads and writes belonged to the segment - otherwise a reader or writer could access regions of the base stream that were outside the intended segment.
- Clone method will use the node count to create the correct capacity.
- ResolveInherits will use the node count as the suggested initial capacity.
- FromStream will now stream lines, rather than reading the whole file into memory and then splitting into lines.
- Avoid creating new strings in SpriteRenderer.Flush.
- ProductionQueue.CancelUnbuildableItems can exit early if the queue is empty. It can also use a set of names for quicker lookups.
- OpenGL.CheckGLError avoids a Enum.HasFlag call.
- VertexBuffer interface redefined to remove an IntPtr overload for SetData. This removes some unsafe code in TerrainSpriteLayer. This also allows the ThreadedVertexBuffer to use a buffer and post these calls, meaning the SetData call can now be non-blocking.
- ThreadedTexture SetData now checks the incoming array size. As the arrays sent here are usually large (megabytes) this allows us to avoid creating temp arrays in the LOH and skip Array.Copy calls on large arrays. This means the call is now blocking more often, but significantly reduces memory churn and GC Gen2 collections.
These config files often contain many repeated strings which result in different string references in memory. By using a pool, we can detect when the strings are equal and reuse an existing reference as strings are immutable.
The FromLines will now use a pool to de-duplicate strings for a single call. By allowing a pool to be provided as a parameter, we can reuse even more strings. The MapCache defines such a pool so that strings are reused across all maps in the cache for even more savings.
