Struct zerovec::ZeroVec

pub struct ZeroVec<'a, T>
where
    T: AsULE,
{
    vector: EyepatchHackVector<T::ULE>,
    marker: PhantomData<(Vec<T::ULE>, &'a [T::ULE])>,
}

A zero-copy, byte-aligned vector for fixed-width types.

ZeroVec<T> is designed as a drop-in replacement for Vec<T> in situations where it is desirable to borrow data from an unaligned byte slice, such as zero-copy deserialization.

T must implement AsULE, which is auto-implemented for a number of built-in types, including all fixed-width multibyte integers. For variable-width types like str, see VarZeroVec. zerovec::make_ule may be used to automatically implement AsULE for a type and generate the underlying ULE type.

Typically, the zero-copy equivalent of a Vec<T> will simply be ZeroVec<'a, T>.

Most of the methods on ZeroVec<'a, T> come from its Deref implementation to ZeroSlice<T>.

For creating zero-copy vectors of fixed-size types, see VarZeroVec.

ZeroVec<T> behaves much like Cow, where it can be constructed from owned data (and then mutated!) but can also borrow from some buffer.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

// The little-endian bytes correspond to the numbers on the following line.
let nums: &[u16] = &[211, 281, 421, 461];

#[derive(serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
struct Data<'a> {
    #[serde(borrow)]
    nums: ZeroVec<'a, u16>,
}

// The owned version will allocate
let data = Data {
    nums: ZeroVec::alloc_from_slice(nums),
};
let bincode_bytes =
    bincode::serialize(&data).expect("Serialization should be successful");

// Will deserialize without allocations
let deserialized: Data = bincode::deserialize(&bincode_bytes)
    .expect("Deserialization should be successful");

// This deserializes without allocation!
assert!(!deserialized.nums.is_owned());
assert_eq!(deserialized.nums.get(2), Some(421));
assert_eq!(deserialized.nums, nums);

How it Works

ZeroVec<T> represents a slice of T as a slice of T::ULE. The difference between T and T::ULE is that T::ULE must be encoded in little-endian with 1-byte alignment. When accessing items from ZeroVec<T>, we fetch the T::ULE, convert it on the fly to T, and return T by value.

Benchmarks can be found in the project repository, with some results found in the crate-level documentation.

See the design doc for more details.

Fields

vector: EyepatchHackVector<T::ULE>

marker: PhantomData<(Vec<T::ULE>, &'a [T::ULE])>

Marker type, signalling variance and dropck behavior by containing all potential types this type represents

Implementations

impl<'a, T> ZeroVec<'a, T>

where T: AsULE + ?Sized,

pub const fn new() -> Self

Creates a new, borrowed, empty ZeroVec<T>.

Examples

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let zv: ZeroVec<u16> = ZeroVec::new();
assert!(zv.is_empty());

pub const fn const_len(&self) -> usize

Same as ZeroSlice::len, which is available through Deref and not const.

pub fn new_owned(vec: Vec<T::ULE>) -> Self

Creates a new owned ZeroVec using an existing allocated backing buffer

If you have a slice of &[T]s, prefer using Self::alloc_from_slice().

pub const fn new_borrowed(slice: &'a [T::ULE]) -> Self

Creates a new borrowed ZeroVec using an existing backing buffer

pub fn with_capacity(capacity: usize) -> Self

Creates a new, owned, empty ZeroVec<T>, with a certain capacity pre-allocated.

pub fn parse_byte_slice(bytes: &'a [u8]) -> Result<Self, ZeroVecError>

Parses a &[u8] buffer into a ZeroVec<T>.

This function is infallible for built-in integer types, but fallible for other types, such as char. For more information, see ULE::parse_byte_slice.

The bytes within the byte buffer must remain constant for the life of the ZeroVec.

Endianness

The byte buffer must be encoded in little-endian, even if running in a big-endian environment. This ensures a consistent representation of data across platforms.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");

assert!(!zerovec.is_owned());
assert_eq!(zerovec.get(2), Some(421));

pub const unsafe fn from_bytes_unchecked(bytes: &'a [u8]) -> Self

Uses a &[u8] buffer as a ZeroVec<T> without any verification.

Safety

bytes need to be an output from ZeroSlice::as_bytes().

pub fn into_bytes(self) -> ZeroVec<'a, u8>

Converts a ZeroVec<T> into a ZeroVec<u8>, retaining the current ownership model.

Note that the length of the ZeroVec may change.

Examples

Convert a borrowed ZeroVec:

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");
let zv_bytes = zerovec.into_bytes();

assert!(!zv_bytes.is_owned());
assert_eq!(zv_bytes.get(0), Some(0xD3));

Convert an owned ZeroVec:

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let nums: &[u16] = &[211, 281, 421, 461];
let zerovec = ZeroVec::alloc_from_slice(nums);
let zv_bytes = zerovec.into_bytes();

assert!(zv_bytes.is_owned());
assert_eq!(zv_bytes.get(0), Some(0xD3));

pub fn cast<P>(self) -> ZeroVec<'a, P>

where P: AsULE<ULE = T::ULE>,

Casts a ZeroVec<T> to a compatible ZeroVec<P>.

T and P are compatible if they have the same ULE representation.

If the ULEs of T and P are different types but have the same size, use Self::try_into_converted().

Examples

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x80];

let zerovec_u16: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");
assert_eq!(zerovec_u16.get(3), Some(32973));

let zerovec_i16: ZeroVec<i16> = zerovec_u16.cast();
assert_eq!(zerovec_i16.get(3), Some(-32563));

pub fn try_into_converted<P: AsULE>( self, ) -> Result<ZeroVec<'a, P>, ZeroVecError>

Converts a ZeroVec<T> into a ZeroVec<P>, retaining the current ownership model.

If T and P have the exact same ULE, use Self::cast().

Panics

Panics if T::ULE and P::ULE are not the same size.

Examples

Convert a borrowed ZeroVec:

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0x7F, 0xF3, 0x01, 0x49, 0xF6, 0x01];
let zv_char: ZeroVec<char> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("valid code points");
let zv_u8_3: ZeroVec<[u8; 3]> =
    zv_char.try_into_converted().expect("infallible conversion");

assert!(!zv_u8_3.is_owned());
assert_eq!(zv_u8_3.get(0), Some([0x7F, 0xF3, 0x01]));

Convert an owned ZeroVec:

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let chars: &[char] = &['🍿', '🙉'];
let zv_char = ZeroVec::alloc_from_slice(chars);
let zv_u8_3: ZeroVec<[u8; 3]> =
    zv_char.try_into_converted().expect("length is divisible");

assert!(zv_u8_3.is_owned());
assert_eq!(zv_u8_3.get(0), Some([0x7F, 0xF3, 0x01]));

If the types are not the same size, we refuse to convert:

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0x7F, 0xF3, 0x01, 0x49, 0xF6, 0x01];
let zv_char: ZeroVec<char> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("valid code points");

// Panics! mem::size_of::<char::ULE> != mem::size_of::<u16::ULE>
zv_char.try_into_converted::<u16>();

Instead, convert to bytes and then parse:

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0x7F, 0xF3, 0x01, 0x49, 0xF6, 0x01];
let zv_char: ZeroVec<char> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("valid code points");
let zv_u16: ZeroVec<u16> =
    zv_char.into_bytes().try_into_parsed().expect("infallible");

assert!(!zv_u16.is_owned());
assert_eq!(zv_u16.get(0), Some(0xF37F));

pub fn is_owned(&self) -> bool

Check if this type is fully owned

pub fn as_maybe_borrowed(&self) -> Option<&'a ZeroSlice<T>>

If this is a borrowed ZeroVec, return it as a slice that covers its lifetime parameter

pub fn owned_capacity(&self) -> Option<NonZeroUsize>

If the ZeroVec is owned, returns the capacity of the vector.

Otherwise, if the ZeroVec is borrowed, returns None.

Examples

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let mut zv = ZeroVec::<u8>::new_borrowed(&[0, 1, 2, 3]);
assert!(!zv.is_owned());
assert_eq!(zv.owned_capacity(), None);

// Convert to owned without appending anything
zv.with_mut(|v| ());
assert!(zv.is_owned());
assert_eq!(zv.owned_capacity(), Some(4.try_into().unwrap()));

// Double the size by appending
zv.with_mut(|v| v.push(0));
assert!(zv.is_owned());
assert_eq!(zv.owned_capacity(), Some(8.try_into().unwrap()));

impl<'a> ZeroVec<'a, u8>

pub fn try_into_parsed<T: AsULE>(self) -> Result<ZeroVec<'a, T>, ZeroVecError>

Converts a ZeroVec<u8> into a ZeroVec<T>, retaining the current ownership model.

Note that the length of the ZeroVec may change.

Examples

Convert a borrowed ZeroVec:

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let zv_bytes = ZeroVec::new_borrowed(bytes);
let zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> = zv_bytes.try_into_parsed().expect("infallible");

assert!(!zerovec.is_owned());
assert_eq!(zerovec.get(0), Some(211));

Convert an owned ZeroVec:

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: Vec<u8> = vec![0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let zv_bytes = ZeroVec::new_owned(bytes);
let zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> = zv_bytes.try_into_parsed().expect("infallible");

assert!(zerovec.is_owned());
assert_eq!(zerovec.get(0), Some(211));

impl<'a, T> ZeroVec<'a, T>

where T: AsULE,

pub fn alloc_from_slice(other: &[T]) -> Self

Creates a ZeroVec<T> from a &[T] by allocating memory.

This function results in an Owned instance of ZeroVec<T>.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

// The little-endian bytes correspond to the numbers on the following line.
let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let nums: &[u16] = &[211, 281, 421, 461];

let zerovec = ZeroVec::alloc_from_slice(nums);

assert!(zerovec.is_owned());
assert_eq!(bytes, zerovec.as_bytes());

pub fn to_vec(&self) -> Vec<T>

Creates a Vec<T> from a ZeroVec<T>.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let nums: &[u16] = &[211, 281, 421, 461];
let vec: Vec<u16> = ZeroVec::alloc_from_slice(nums).to_vec();

assert_eq!(nums, vec.as_slice());

impl<'a, T> ZeroVec<'a, T>

where T: EqULE,

pub fn try_from_slice(slice: &'a [T]) -> Option<Self>

Attempts to create a ZeroVec<'a, T> from a &'a [T] by borrowing the argument.

If this is not possible, such as on a big-endian platform, None is returned.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

// The little-endian bytes correspond to the numbers on the following line.
let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let nums: &[u16] = &[211, 281, 421, 461];

if let Some(zerovec) = ZeroVec::try_from_slice(nums) {
    assert!(!zerovec.is_owned());
    assert_eq!(bytes, zerovec.as_bytes());
}

pub fn from_slice_or_alloc(slice: &'a [T]) -> Self

Creates a ZeroVec<'a, T> from a &'a [T], either by borrowing the argument or by allocating a new vector.

This is a cheap operation on little-endian platforms, falling back to a more expensive operation on big-endian platforms.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

// The little-endian bytes correspond to the numbers on the following line.
let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let nums: &[u16] = &[211, 281, 421, 461];

let zerovec = ZeroVec::from_slice_or_alloc(nums);

// Note: zerovec could be either borrowed or owned.
assert_eq!(bytes, zerovec.as_bytes());

impl<'a, T> ZeroVec<'a, T>

where T: AsULE,

pub fn for_each_mut(&mut self, f: impl FnMut(&mut T))

Mutates each element according to a given function, meant to be a more convenient version of calling .iter_mut() with ZeroVec::with_mut() which serves fewer use cases.

This will convert the ZeroVec into an owned ZeroVec if not already the case.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let mut zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");

zerovec.for_each_mut(|item| *item += 1);

assert_eq!(zerovec.to_vec(), &[212, 282, 422, 462]);
assert!(zerovec.is_owned());

pub fn try_for_each_mut<E>( &mut self, f: impl FnMut(&mut T) -> Result<(), E>, ) -> Result<(), E>

Same as ZeroVec::for_each_mut(), but bubbles up errors.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let mut zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");

zerovec.try_for_each_mut(|item| {
    *item = item.checked_add(1).ok_or(())?;
    Ok(())
})?;

assert_eq!(zerovec.to_vec(), &[212, 282, 422, 462]);
assert!(zerovec.is_owned());

pub fn into_owned(self) -> ZeroVec<'static, T>

Converts a borrowed ZeroVec to an owned ZeroVec. No-op if already owned.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");
assert!(!zerovec.is_owned());

let owned = zerovec.into_owned();
assert!(owned.is_owned());

pub fn with_mut<R>(&mut self, f: impl FnOnce(&mut Vec<T::ULE>) -> R) -> R

Allows the ZeroVec to be mutated by converting it to an owned variant, and producing a mutable vector of ULEs. If you only need a mutable slice, consider using Self::to_mut_slice() instead.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let mut zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");
assert!(!zerovec.is_owned());

zerovec.with_mut(|v| v.push(12_u16.to_unaligned()));
assert!(zerovec.is_owned());

pub fn to_mut_slice(&mut self) -> &mut [T::ULE]

Allows the ZeroVec to be mutated by converting it to an owned variant (if necessary) and returning a slice to its backing buffer. Self::with_mut() allows for mutation of the vector itself.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let mut zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");
assert!(!zerovec.is_owned());

zerovec.to_mut_slice()[1] = 5u16.to_unaligned();
assert!(zerovec.is_owned());

pub fn clear(&mut self)

Remove all elements from this ZeroVec and reset it to an empty borrowed state.

pub fn take_first(&mut self) -> Option<T>

Removes the first element of the ZeroVec. The ZeroVec remains in the same borrowed or owned state.

Examples

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let mut zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");
assert!(!zerovec.is_owned());

let first = zerovec.take_first().unwrap();
assert_eq!(first, 0x00D3);
assert!(!zerovec.is_owned());

let mut zerovec = zerovec.into_owned();
assert!(zerovec.is_owned());
let first = zerovec.take_first().unwrap();
assert_eq!(first, 0x0119);
assert!(zerovec.is_owned());

pub fn take_last(&mut self) -> Option<T>

Removes the last element of the ZeroVec. The ZeroVec remains in the same borrowed or owned state.

Examples

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x01];
let mut zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");
assert!(!zerovec.is_owned());

let last = zerovec.take_last().unwrap();
assert_eq!(last, 0x01CD);
assert!(!zerovec.is_owned());

let mut zerovec = zerovec.into_owned();
assert!(zerovec.is_owned());
let last = zerovec.take_last().unwrap();
assert_eq!(last, 0x01A5);
assert!(zerovec.is_owned());

pub fn into_cow(self) -> Cow<'a, [T::ULE]>

Converts the type into a Cow<'a, [T::ULE]>, which is the logical equivalent of this type’s internal representation

Methods from Deref<Target = ZeroSlice<T>>

pub fn as_zerovec(&self) -> ZeroVec<'_, T>

Get this ZeroSlice as a borrowed ZeroVec

ZeroSlice does not have most of the methods that ZeroVec does, so it is recommended to convert it to a ZeroVec before doing anything.

pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8]

Returns this slice as its underlying &[u8] byte buffer representation.

Useful for serialization.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

// The little-endian bytes correspond to the numbers on the following line.
let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x80];
let nums: &[u16] = &[211, 281, 421, 32973];

let zerovec = ZeroVec::alloc_from_slice(nums);

assert_eq!(bytes, zerovec.as_bytes());

pub fn as_ule_slice(&self) -> &[T::ULE]

Dereferences this slice as &[T::ULE].

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of elements in this slice.

Example

use zerovec::ule::AsULE;
use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x80];
let zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");

assert_eq!(4, zerovec.len());
assert_eq!(
    bytes.len(),
    zerovec.len() * std::mem::size_of::<<u16 as AsULE>::ULE>()
);

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns whether this slice is empty.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x80];
let zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");
assert!(!zerovec.is_empty());

let emptyvec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(&[]).expect("infallible");
assert!(emptyvec.is_empty());

pub fn get(&self, index: usize) -> Option<T>

Gets the element at the specified index. Returns None if out of range.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x80];
let zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");

assert_eq!(zerovec.get(2), Some(421));
assert_eq!(zerovec.get(4), None);

pub fn get_as_array<const N: usize>(&self) -> Option<[T; N]>

Gets the entire slice as an array of length N. Returns None if the slice does not have exactly N elements.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x80];
let zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");
let array: [u16; 4] =
    zerovec.get_as_array().expect("should be 4 items in array");

assert_eq!(array[2], 421);

pub fn get_subslice(&self, range: Range<usize>) -> Option<&ZeroSlice<T>>

Gets a subslice of elements within a certain range. Returns None if the range is out of bounds of this ZeroSlice.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x80];
let zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");

assert_eq!(
    zerovec.get_subslice(1..3),
    Some(&*ZeroVec::from_slice_or_alloc(&[0x0119, 0x01A5]))
);
assert_eq!(zerovec.get_subslice(3..5), None);

pub fn get_ule_ref(&self, index: usize) -> Option<&T::ULE>

Get a borrowed reference to the underlying ULE type at a specified index.

Prefer Self::get() over this method where possible since working directly with ULE types is less ergonomic

pub fn cast<P>(&self) -> &ZeroSlice<P>

where P: AsULE<ULE = T::ULE>,

Casts a ZeroSlice<T> to a compatible ZeroSlice<P>.

T and P are compatible if they have the same ULE representation.

If the ULEs of T and P are different, use Self::try_as_converted().

Examples

use zerovec::ZeroSlice;

const BYTES: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x80];
const ZS_U16: &ZeroSlice<u16> = {
    match ZeroSlice::<u16>::try_from_bytes(BYTES) {
        Ok(s) => s,
        Err(_) => unreachable!(),
    }
};

let zs_i16: &ZeroSlice<i16> = ZS_U16.cast();

assert_eq!(ZS_U16.get(3), Some(32973));
assert_eq!(zs_i16.get(3), Some(-32563));

pub fn try_as_converted<P: AsULE>(&self) -> Result<&ZeroSlice<P>, ZeroVecError>

Converts a &ZeroSlice<T> into a &ZeroSlice<P>.

The resulting slice will have the same length as the original slice if and only if T::ULE and P::ULE are the same size.

If T and P have the exact same ULE, use Self::cast().

Examples

use zerovec::ZeroSlice;

const BYTES: &[u8] = &[0x7F, 0xF3, 0x01, 0x00, 0x49, 0xF6, 0x01, 0x00];
const ZS_U32: &ZeroSlice<u32> = {
    match ZeroSlice::<u32>::try_from_bytes(BYTES) {
        Ok(s) => s,
        Err(_) => unreachable!(),
    }
};

let zs_u8_4: &ZeroSlice<[u8; 4]> =
    ZS_U32.try_as_converted().expect("valid code points");

assert_eq!(ZS_U32.get(0), Some(127871));
assert_eq!(zs_u8_4.get(0), Some([0x7F, 0xF3, 0x01, 0x00]));

pub fn first(&self) -> Option<T>

Gets the first element. Returns None if empty.

Example

use zerovec::ZeroVec;

let bytes: &[u8] = &[0xD3, 0x00, 0x19, 0x01, 0xA5, 0x01, 0xCD, 0x80];
let zerovec: ZeroVec<u16> =
    ZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).expect("infallible");

assert_eq!(zerovec.first(), Some(211));

pub fn last(&self) -> Option<T>

Gets the last element. Returns None if empty.
