Follow-up from #24329.
This patchset is the last in the Writergate series. With this, the purification of
std.Io
is complete, and it is now an empty vessel, ready to accept the new Io interface.std.Io.Writer.Allocating & Alignment
This API now has a new field:
This is a runtime-known alignment value. The Allocator API supports this if you use the "raw" function variants.
I tried this out in order to be able to reuse
std.Io.Writer.Allocating
in a place that needed alignment. It worked out pretty well. So well in fact, that this might be an opportunity to do something similar tostd.array_list.Aligned

std.fs.Dir.readFileAlloc
Note that the limit has a difference; if it's reached it also returns the error. Also the error has been changed from
FileTooBig
toStreamTooLong
