Motivation
Eliminate decompression pinning which can help with GC when compression/decompression is run a lot. GC will be able to move memory even when in the middle of a compression or decompression run and update the ref pointers.
Modifications
Switch all usages of buffer, bufferEnd, and op to be
ref byte
.Results
Neutral or a performance improvement across all platforms. This also finishes eliminating pinning for decompression.
