Hello Yao G.,
I'm here with another n00b question:
When dealing with big buffers (or files), which is better to use as
storage? void[] or byte[]?
If the data may contain pointers into the heap, use void[] if it will not
use byte[]. byte[] is "raw" data, void[] is anything at all.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each one? I've seen that
void[] is used in some Phobos modules, like std.zlib, and in other
modules the choice is byte[] (chunk in std.stdio).
Is there a place where this stuff is documented? Or choosing one or
another is just a matter of preference and the differences are
trivial?
Thanks in advance.
