I want to achieve something like the following. This is a public API that should be consumable from job code but may also be used directly from managed code. I want it to run the Burst compiled version in both cases. public Foo() { if (WasCalledFromAlreadyBurstedCode()) FooInternal(); …

You can add the [BurstCompile] attribute to your method if I’m not mistaken

[image] WAYNGames: You can add the [BurstCompile] attribute to your method if I’m not mistaken Woah, we can directly compile methods? How long has that been a thing without me knowing? Are you sure? I’ve not seen that anywhere in the main Burst documentation, although looking at the documenta…

it seem that burst only work for jobs [image] Burst Question Unity Engine Per the documentation I know you can put a “[BurstCompile]” tag prior to the definition a struct that inherits from a Job interface. A few questions: Where else can I put the “[BurstCompile]” tag?…

Job.WithCode doesn’t seem relevant to me. That’s a SystemBase feature and my code isn’t in a system, and I’m not sure how it would address my requirement even if I were. The method I showed is static.

This works : using Unity.Entities; using Unity.Jobs; using UnityEngine; public class TestBurstMethod : MonoBehaviour { BurstedMehtod methods; // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { methods = World.DefaultGameObjectInjectionWorld.GetOrCreateSystem<B…

I think you may have misunderstood my requirements. This is a convoluted way to burst compile a method, but we can do that with jobs anyway. I have an expensive computation that is painfully slow when not called from Burst compiled code. I want to ensure that it is always Bursted. That fact is an i…

No it does not. My idea is to provide a way to define the method. Then call a method with that definition from managed code (that will handle the job wraping part) and have another method that take in the same method definition but just run it without wrapping it into a job. For that I’m trying to…

public void RunBursted(CustomJob job) { bool dispatched = false; TryDispatch(job, ref dispatched); if (!dispatched) job.Execute(); } [BurstDiscard] void TryDispatch(CustomJob job, ref bool dispatched) { dispatched = true; job.Run(); }

Sorry haven’t read the whole thread, but ECB does something like this, changes how it plays back depending if it’s in a job or not. var foundCommand = false; // Won't get called if we are already inside of Burst PlaybackUnmanagedCommandWrapper(mgr->EntityComponentStore, header, ref playbackState, …

Is there a way to branch based on whether code is being executed in a bursted job?

Maybe try with Job.WithCode. Using Job.WithCode | Entities | 0.7.0-preview.19
Also maybe make the method static, no idea if that has an impact.
