Is it possible to pass extra parameters into function pointers?

[atomic prairie]

E.G if there is a delegate bool public delegate bool CheckPair(int point,int pos,int scale);
public static bool Block(int point,int pos,int scale) => (point >= pos && point < pos + scale);
could another function have an extra parameter such as e.g. int noiseValue added to it?

[frigid cobalt]

no, it's strongly fixed by declaration of delegate

also, judging from names of example it looks like you plan to burst compile such little methods

if that's the case I heavily advice against it, because cost of calling function pointers is pretty high

[atomic prairie]

thats true. have noticed the heavy dip in performance delegates have

[atomic prairie]

what do you think is a decent alternative in that case? it would be best if i could still control some perameters which are going into the function

[frigid cobalt]

don't use function pointers at all

write all your logic normally

also have only one entry point

basically, do prep work in managed context

pass that data to burst compiled method

[atomic prairie]

so like a switch statement or something?

[frigid cobalt]

get data back

[frigid cobalt]

Your entry point is going to be static function

so write everything using all C# power (in burst compatible manner ofc)

right i see

and what if i need the function(s) to be modular in a class?

[frigid cobalt]

you don't have classes in burst

[atomic prairie]

sorry i mean struct

[frigid cobalt]

I don't get the question

[atomic prairie]

public static bool Block(int point,int pos,int scale) => (point >= pos && point < pos + scale); is used to check wether a point is inside or outside a given area

but it would be useful if this was dynamic so i could check if something is inside a sphere etc.

and this is done around 500 or so times checking different points

[frigid cobalt]

then write different method for that

[atomic prairie]

yes but then how could i put this in the same native array for example

[frigid cobalt]

it heavily depends on what you are doing

but the way I see it

you are trying to force object oriented practice here

it might work, or it might not work depending on context

but you probably should just rethink design

[atomic prairie]

i see
