# Calling Burst-compiled code
|
|
|
|
You can call Burst-compiled methods direct from managed code. Calling generic methods or methods whose declaring type is generic isn't supported, otherwise the rules as for [function pointers](csharp-function-pointers.md) apply. However, you don't need to worry about the extra boiler plate needed for function pointers.
|
|
|
|
The following example shows a Burst-compiled utility class. Because it uses structs, it passes by reference per the [function pointer](csharp-function-pointers.md) rules.
|
|
|
|
```c#
|
|
[BurstCompile]
|
|
public static class MyBurstUtilityClass
|
|
{
|
|
[BurstCompile]
|
|
public static void BurstCompiled_MultiplyAdd(in float4 mula, in float4 mulb, in float4 add, out float4 result)
|
|
{
|
|
result = mula * mulb + add;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
Use this method from managed code like so:
|
|
|
|
```c#
|
|
public class MyMonoBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
|
|
{
|
|
void Start()
|
|
{
|
|
var mula = new float4(1, 2, 3, 4);
|
|
var mulb = new float4(-1,1,-1,1);
|
|
var add = new float4(99,0,0,0);
|
|
MyBurstUtilityClass.BurstCompiled_MultiplyAdd(mula, mulb, add, out var result);
|
|
Debug.Log(result);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you attach this script to an object and run it, `float4(98f, 2f, -3f, 4f)` is printed to the log.
|
|
|
|
## Code transformation
|
|
|
|
Burst uses IL Post Processing to automatically transform the code into a function pointer and call. For more information, see the documentation on [Function pointers](csharp-function-pointers.md).
|
|
|
|
To disable the direct call transformation, add`DisableDirectCall = true` to the BurstCompile options. This prevents the Post Processor from running on the code:
|
|
|
|
```c#
|
|
[BurstCompile]
|
|
public static class MyBurstUtilityClass
|
|
{
|
|
[BurstCompile(DisableDirectCall = true)]
|
|
public static void BurstCompiled_MultiplyAdd(in float4 mula, in float4 mulb, in float4 add, out float4 result)
|
|
{
|
|
result = mula * mulb + add;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
``` |
