Garbage Collector Alloc from String issue

Questions & Answers
1

Hi, From Looking at the Profiler, the following code seem to generate 56B of Garbage

It seems to come from String related stuff.

Can anyone tell me why and how should I solve this?

THX

protected bool CompareBaseState(string stateName)
	{
		AnimatorStateInfo currentBaseState = anim.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo((int)MOTIONLAYER.BASE);
		
		stateName = "Base." + stateName;
		
		if(currentBaseState.nameHash == Animator.StringToHash(stateName)) { return true; }
		return false;
	}

using System.Collections.Generic;

 ...

 Dictionary<string, string> baseNames = new Dictionary<string,string>();

protected bool CompareBaseState(string stateName)
{
   AnimatorStateInfo currentBaseState = anim.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo((int)MOTIONLAYER.BASE);
   if(!baseNames.ContainsKey(stateName))
        baseNames[stateName] = "Base." + stateName;
   stateName = baseNames[stateName];

   if(currentBaseState.nameHash == Animator.StringToHash(stateName)) { return true; }
   return false;
}
