Give Your .NET Object A Shot Of Lifeline [Tutorial]

In this post, we will see an example of a scenario where we may want to extend the lifetime of an object.

The key feature of this method is the attribute on the method [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.NoInlining) This guarantees the JIT will never try to inline this method.
