But don't I get into problems with GC when I do that? So I create the
data structure heap allocated in one thread, then get an unsafe pointer
to it and sent
this to all other threads. Of course in the originating thread I need to
keep the reference to the data, otherwise the unsafe pointer will point
to garbage.
Right. You'd need to keep a reference to it alive.
