This PR adds a
CopyTo
operator, which operates similar toArray.CopyTo
orList.CopyTo
. This is useful for copying data from a stream to a pre-existing array orIList<>
, such as an array rented from anArrayPool<>
.To match semantics with existing methods, this method will throw an exception if there is not enough room in the specified destination for the input data to be stored. If the consumer does not care about excess data, they can apply the
Take
operator before callingCopyTo
to avoid the exception.One difference between this operator and the collection methods is that this version returns an
int
. With the collection methods, it is easy to know pre or post how much data should be copied, because theCount
/Length
property is available. ForIEnumerable<>
this information is not as readily available, soCopyTo
returns how many elements were stored in the destination.Fixes #963
