There has been some discussion about this and the consensus is that `uint8_t` is a better option than `std::byte` as the former represents a determinate number of bytes ( https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/intrinsic-types#bits-per-byte). So `span<const uint8_t>, and `span<uint8_t>` for immutable and mutable bytes respectively. On Wed, Dec 4, 2024 at 1:03 PM Dominique Devienne <ddevienne@gmail.com> wrote:

function that takes a pair of void*/size_t should be a span<uint_8>
or rather `std::span<[const ]std::byte>`. --DD
