The
Bytesabletrait is what indicates how we want to serialize messages, should we need to do that. There is an advantage to data containers beingu64aligned, specifically forcolumnarimplementations but potentially for other implementations. This PR adds up to 7 bytes for each message to ensure that each part ends upu64aligned. With these changes, thecolumnarexample does not need to relocate (memcpy) in order to get aligned data.Tbd: other containers (e.g.
Vec,FlatStack) don't have the same defensive measures in place yet, and we'll want to figure out how to prevent them from messing anything up either. TheirContainerBytesimplementation could do this, or theBytesableimplementation forMessagecould round up once it has serialized everything.
