lidavidm opened a new pull request #12341: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12341
This is useful to implement, for instance, a copy from a void* (from an external API) to a buffer on a different device (the current API would require allocating a shared_ptr, and provides no way to get back a unique_ptr). Note that while we have the BufferWriter API, that also fails (because it needs ownership of the buffer to write to, and there isn't a good way to express "a temporary writer that does not have ownership of the target buffer"). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
