Addresses review comment #151 (comment).
A lot of our type issues were due to
slice_memory
returning a&[u8]
whereas we want a fixed length array. This leads to us having more information than the compiler and so need totry_into().unwrap()
in a lot of places.I've fixed this by giving the compiler more hints about what we want returned from
slice_memory
, it's now generic with a const parameterSIZE
and will return a[u8; SIZE]
array. We no longer pass a length argument but will often have to provide a type hint when calling the function.This isn't always usable for all situations where we need to read from memory (as we don't always know the length of the array at compile time. I've then added
read_memory_variable_length()
which has the current behaviour ofslice_memory
