Trait byte_slice_cast::AsSliceOf

pub trait AsSliceOf {
    // Required method
    fn as_slice_of<T: FromByteSlice>(&self) -> Result<&[T], Error>;
}

Trait for converting from a byte slice to a slice of a fundamental, built-in numeric type.

This trait is usually more convenient to use than FromByteSlice.

Example

use byte_slice_cast::*;

let slice = [1u8, 2u8, 3u8, 4u8, 5u8, 6u8];
let converted_slice = slice.as_slice_of::<u16>().unwrap();

if cfg!(target_endian = "big") {
    assert_eq!(converted_slice, &[0x0102, 0x0304, 0x0506]);
} else {
    assert_eq!(converted_slice, &[0x0201, 0x0403, 0x0605]);
}

Required Methods

fn as_slice_of<T: FromByteSlice>(&self) -> Result<&[T], Error>

Object Safety

This trait is not object safe.
