I have a function that takes a slice as one of it's parameters. However, there are increasingly times where I want to pass in a single pointer, rather than wrapping it in a new slice.
I know I could change the parameter type to anytype and have the function check whether it is a slice, but I lose compiler visibility on valid types. Is there any other way to implement this?

if you need to support multiple types then anytype is the way to go, yes
there's no signature overloading in zig

That's what I figured. Thanks!

std.meta has a few helpers to validate the 'anytype' args: https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/std/#root;meta.trait.isPtrTo
