MemorySegment::map should live in FileChannel

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      There are many dependencies between MemorySegment::map and FileChannel::map - they both require a MapMode, for instance. In addition, clients that want to create mapped memory regions might want to map the same file in multiple regions, in which case working on a FileChannel seems more convenient than working off a Path (which would require creating the channel twice, under the hood).

      For these reasons, the mapped memory segment factory should move as an instance method on FileChannel, and renamed to `mapAsMemorySegment`. Also some of the parameter names of the methods should be renamed to match those in FileChannel::map.
