Is ArrayPool.Rent(Int32) Method thread-safe?












6














I just found out about ArrayPool existence, but it's documentation is somewhat lacking.



I'd like to know if Rent(.) and Return(.) are thread-safe.



Edit: looks like I didn't notice the "Thread Safety" part of documentation; but reading some of the comments and answers I was relieved I wasn't the only one that didn't.

          It literally says on
          Thread safety This
          class is thread-safe. All members may be used by multiple threads
          concurrently




          Original



          It doesn't say it on docs.microsoft.com, however there is a few references to the fact it is



          Add a new System.Buffers namespace to the BCL for Resource Pooling




          The Pool will be lightweight and thread-safe, allowing for fast Rent
          and Return calls from any thread within the process, along with
          minimal locking overhead, and 0 heap allocations on most Rent calls
          (exceptions to this will be called out below in the description of the
          Rent function).

          Recommended: use the ArrayPool.Shared property, which returns a
          shared pool instance. It’s thread safe and all you need to remember is
          that it has a default max array length, equal to 2^20 (1024*1024 = 1

            it's documentation is somewhat lacking.




            You can read about thread safety under Thread Safety:
