bigjt 1a7495a6dd [C#] Add GetBytes methods for fixed arrays (#8633)
* [C#] Add GetBytes methods for fixed arrays

I wanted to direct access to fixed array bytes. I made some changes to the idl generator to create GetBytes functions following the same naming conventions used for vectors of scalar types. There was not a 'Length' field present to bound the existing index accessor so I added that too.

+ Add generic GetBytes for fixed length arrays of scalar types
+ Implement conditional compilation for ENABLE_SPAN_T:
  - ENABLE_SPAN_T: Returns `Span<T>` using `MemoryMarshal.Cast<byte, T>()` as needed.
  - Else: Returns `ArraySegment<byte>?` for raw byte access
+ Added tests reusing arrays_test.fbs definitions
+ Added const int Length field to support existing index based accessors

* [C#] Sync generated code for after adding GetBytes methods for fixed arrays

.NET Tests

Running on Linux

Prerequisites

To run the tests on a Linux a few prerequisites are needed:

  1. mono
  2. msbuild

Running

To run the tests:

./NetTest.sh

This will download the .NET installer and core SDK if those are not already installed. Then it will build the tests using msbuild and run the resulting test binary with mono.

After running the tests, the downloaded .NET installer and SDK are not removed as they can be reused in subsequent invocations. The files are ignored by git by default, and can remain in the working directory.

Cleaning

If you want to clean up the downloaded .NET installer and SDK, run:

./clean.sh

This will wipe away the downloaded files and directories. Those will be automatically re-downloaded when running NetTest.sh.
