How to read native process memory in C# without creating Garbage Collector allocations:

CSHARP
public static unsafe T ReadMemory<T>(IntPtr hProcess, IntPtr address) where T : unmanaged {
    T val = default;
    ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, address, &val, sizeof(T), out _);
    return val;
}

// Reading arrays with stackalloc Span
Span<byte> buffer = stackalloc byte[1024];
ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, address, buffer, out int bytesRead);
ReadOnlySpan<float> matrix = MemoryMarshal.Cast<byte, float>(buffer);

Zero GC gen-0 allocations, execution latency matches C++!

MemoryMarshal.Cast reinterprets bytes into floats with 0 copies. Pure performance.

C# memory management has evolved so much in .NET 7/8.
