For trivial data types (like UInt8) this will work, but if you want to follow the rules I recommend reading the following: * UnsafeRawPointer Migration <https://swift.org/migration-guide/se-0107-migrate.html> * SE-0107 “UnsafeRawPointer API” <https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0107-unsaferawpointer.md> Spoiler: that’ll point you to `initialize(to:count:)` (-: * * * Also, why are you manually allocating this rather than using [UInt8]? The latter is easier, safer, and likely to have similar levels of efficiency.
