Class NativeFileWatcher

Namespace

GrindFest

Assembly

GrindFest.dll

Drop-in replacement for FileSystemWatcher that avoids Mono's DefaultWatcher polling (which allocates ~300 KB/frame of GC).

On Windows: Uses ReadDirectoryChangesW (event-based, zero-GC steady state). On other platforms: Falls back to periodic polling with controlled interval.

Events fire on a background thread, same as FileSystemWatcher.
