For all intents and purposes this is fine but is bound to break on files larger than 2GB. The alternative here is to instead use `(ReadOnly)Sequence\u003cT\u003e`, but this introduces the need for special care across individual span boundaries.\n\nNormally this is also a non-issue because `TACT || CASC` files are not larger than 2 GB, but this is something to keep in mind for the future.\n\nThe general consensus would be to use [ReadOnlySequenceAccessor](https://dotnet.github.io/dotNext/api/DotNext.IO.MemoryMappedFiles.ReadOnlySequenceAccessor.html) and work off the sequence, trying to abstract away the span boundaries.\n\nReferences:\n1. https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/24805","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Warpten","@type":"Person","name":"Warpten"},"datePublished":"2025-02-01T16:13:19.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/3/TACTSharp/issues/3"}
