void[] makes actually little sense as the result of whole-file read that
allocates. byte[] is at least usable and more accurate. In fact, it's a
little dangerous to use void[], since you could assign
pointer-containing values to the void[] and it should be marked as
NOSCAN (no pointers inside file data).
I see what you're saying, byte[] is what *is* allocated.. but my point is
that it's not what those bytes actually represent.
Are you saying void[] *is* currently marked NOSCAN?
However, when using the more conventional read(void[]) makes a LOT of
sense, since any T[] implicitly casts to void[].
Indeed. :)
