// WriteBlittable assumes same endianness for server & client.
// All Unity 2018+ platforms are little endian.
// => run NetworkWriterTests.BlittableOnThisPlatform() to verify!
//
// This is not safe to expose to random structs.
// * StructLayout.Sequential is the default, which is safe.
// if the struct contains a reference type, it is converted to Auto.
// but since all structs here are unmanaged blittable, it's safe.
// see also: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.runtime.interopservices.layoutkind?view=netframework-4.8#system-runtime-interopservices-layoutkind-sequential
// * StructLayout.Pack depends on CPU word size.
// this may be different 4 or 8 on some ARM systems, etc.
// this is not safe, and would cause bytes/shorts etc. to be padded.
// see also: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.runtime.interopservices.structlayoutattribute.pack?view=net-6.0
// * If we force pack all to '1', they would have no padding which is
// great for bandwidth. but on some android systems, CPU can't read
// unaligned memory.
// see also: https://github.com/vis2k/Mirror/issues/3044
// * The only option would be to force explicit layout with multiples
// of word size. but this requires lots of weaver checking and is
// still questionable (IL2CPP etc.).
