This is an ancient article. Pretty much only Rust has .drop() with such strong steroids. Either way struct in C# means something very specific and it is the same as struct in C. You can cast a malloced pointer in C to a struct and use it as such, you can do the same in C# (not that you should, but you can). In terms for article contents - structs absolutely do go on the stack when you declare them as locals except select scenarios: async and iterator methods, both of which can capture variables that live across yields or awaits into a state machine struct or class (debug/release difference, and also ValueTask which does not alloc when it completes synchronously). If you care about memory lifetimes, the compiler will helpfully error out when you are returning a 'ref' to a local scope, violating the lifetime (because it has rudimentary lifetime analysis underneath hence scoped and unscoped semantics).
