Unity Engineering Manager for .NET Compilers and Runtimes Josh Peterson walks through the latest efforts the team has gone through to allow the CoreCLR GC to work hand in hand with native engine code.

The Unity Blog offers insights, tutorials, and updates on Unity, a popular game engine used for building interactive experiences across various platforms. Covering topics such as game development, virtual reality, and augmented reality, the blog provides resources for game developers and creators. Developers can learn how to use Unity's features, tools, and APIs to build immersive games, simulations, and interactive experiences.

Unity is working on bringing the latest .NET technology to its users by porting the Unity engine to the CoreCLR GC. This involves making changes to the Unity code, including the custom marshaling tools used. The goal is to improve performance and efficiency by using the CoreCLR GC's precise and moving garbage collection approach. One important aspect of the porting process is handling managed memory in native code, which is achieved using the ScriptingObjectPtr and ScriptingReferenceWrapper abstractions.
