Combining unmanaged (bursted) Jobs and managed Jobs

Hello, short question, is there problem when combining managed and unmanaged jobs?

Managed are still IJob but has GCHandle reference.

What I have is: managed IJobFor that has GCHandle, that spawns jobs: and I want to spawn mix of managed and unmanaged jobs here then wait for all them to complete.

Is that possible or no? Meaning: will burstable Jobs be actually bursted?

Thanks!

p.s.: rationale here is to get multithreaded working ASAP without having to rewrite all my codebase to burstable, since it's huge pain for some parts of code. Little or no allocations done in managed code.

 

The job system doesn't really care about what you do in a job. Mixing managed & unmanaged is fine. You can also call burst functions from managed code running in a job. (small side-note; last time I tested the burst function had to do a first-time-run on the mainthread or it throws an error; some dodgy reflection code fixed that for me)
Just means you lack the safety mechanics and such related to NativeArrays, [ReadOnly], [WriteOnly] etc. It's more like a Task<>.

I don't think you can spawn a job from a job though.

 

Thanks!

I tried it and it works. I see both managed/unmanaged jobs in Workers.
Hmm didn't knew jobs can't spawn jobs, makes sense I got errors.
