Ryu.writeshortest
is documented to have a method that "allows passing in a byte buffer", just likeRyu.writefixed
andRyu.writeexp
, but unlike those functionswriteshortest
is type constrained to::Vector{UInt8}
. This PR loosens that to::AbstractVector{UInt8}
, to allow the "byte buffer" to e.g. be aMemory
rather than aVector
.I've added tests and updated the docstrings for all three functions to ensure that they're not just restricted to
Vector{UInt8}
.This change was prompted by our private codebase hitting
MethodError: no method matching writeshortest(::Memory{UInt8}, ::Int64, ::Float64, ...)
when trying it out with Julia v1.12.0-DEV.(cc @quinnj -- i think you added this method originally, but i couldn't see any reason why e.g. Memory shouldn't be allowed now we have it)
