Module bytemuck::checked

Checked versions of the casting functions exposed in crate root that support CheckedBitPattern types.

Enums

• CheckedCastError
  The things that can go wrong when casting between CheckedBitPattern data forms.

Traits

• CheckedBitPattern
  A marker trait that allows types that have some invalid bit patterns to be used in places that otherwise require AnyBitPattern or Pod types by performing a runtime check on a perticular set of bits. This is particularly useful for types like fieldless (‘C-style’) enums, char, bool, and structs containing them.

Functions

• cast
  Cast A into B
• cast_mut
  Cast &mut A into &mut B.
• cast_ref
  Cast &A into &B.
• cast_slice
  Cast &[A] into &[B].
• cast_slice_mut
  Cast &mut [A] into &mut [B].
• from_bytes
  Re-interprets &[u8] as &T.
• from_bytes_mut
  Re-interprets &mut [u8] as &mut T.
• pod_read_unaligned
  Reads the slice into a T value.
• try_cast
  Try to cast A into B.
• try_cast_mut
  Try to convert a &mut A into &mut B.
• try_cast_ref
  Try to convert a &A into &B.
• try_cast_slice
  Try to convert &[A] into &[B] (possibly with a change in length).
• try_cast_slice_mut
  Try to convert &mut [A] into &mut [B] (possibly with a change in length).
• try_from_bytes
  Re-interprets &[u8] as &T.
• try_from_bytes_mut
  Re-interprets &mut [u8] as &mut T.
• try_pod_read_unaligned
  Reads from the bytes as if they were a T.
