Enum zerovec::varzerovec::vec::VarZeroVec

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum VarZeroVec<'a, T: ?Sized, F = Index16> {
    Owned(VarZeroVecOwned<T, F>),
    Borrowed(&'a VarZeroSlice<T, F>),
}

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

VarZeroVec<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, and where T’s data is variable-length (e.g. String)

T must implement VarULE, which is already implemented for str and [u8]. For storing more complicated series of elements, it is implemented on ZeroSlice<T> as well as VarZeroSlice<T> for nesting. zerovec::make_varule may be used to generate a dynamically-sized VarULE type and conversions to and from a custom type.

For example, here are some owned types and their zero-copy equivalents:

• Vec<String>: VarZeroVec<'a, str>
• Vec<Vec<u8>>>: VarZeroVec<'a, [u8]>
• Vec<Vec<u32>>: VarZeroVec<'a, ZeroSlice<u32>>
• Vec<Vec<String>>: VarZeroVec<'a, VarZeroSlice<str>>

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

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

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

The F type parameter is a VarZeroVecFormat (see its docs for more details), which can be used to select the precise format of the backing buffer with various size and performance tradeoffs. It defaults to Index16.

Bytes and Equality

Two VarZeroVecs are equal if and only if their bytes are equal, as described in the trait VarULE. However, we do not guarantee stability of byte equality or serialization format across major SemVer releases.

To compare a Vec<T> to a VarZeroVec<T>, it is generally recommended to use Iterator::eq, since it is somewhat expensive at runtime to convert from a Vec<T> to a VarZeroVec<T> or vice-versa.

Prior to zerovec reaching 1.0, the precise byte representation of VarZeroVec is still under consideration, with different options along the space-time spectrum. See #1410.

Example

use zerovec::VarZeroVec;

// The little-endian bytes correspond to the list of strings.
let strings = vec!["w", "ω", "文", "𑄃"];

#[derive(serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
struct Data<'a> {
    #[serde(borrow)]
    strings: VarZeroVec<'a, str>,
}

let data = Data {
    strings: VarZeroVec::from(&strings),
};

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");

assert_eq!(deserialized.strings.get(2), Some("文"));
assert_eq!(deserialized.strings, &*strings);

Here’s another example with ZeroSlice<T> (similar to [T]):

use zerovec::VarZeroVec;
use zerovec::ZeroSlice;

// The structured list correspond to the list of integers.
let numbers: &[&[u32]] = &[
    &[12, 25, 38],
    &[39179, 100],
    &[42, 55555],
    &[12345, 54321, 9],
];

#[derive(serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
struct Data<'a> {
    #[serde(borrow)]
    vecs: VarZeroVec<'a, ZeroSlice<u32>>,
}

let data = Data {
    vecs: VarZeroVec::from(numbers),
};

let bincode_bytes =
    bincode::serialize(&data).expect("Serialization should be successful");

let deserialized: Data = bincode::deserialize(&bincode_bytes)
    .expect("Deserialization should be successful");

assert_eq!(deserialized.vecs[0].get(1).unwrap(), 25);
assert_eq!(deserialized.vecs[1], *numbers[1]);

VarZeroVecs can be nested infinitely via a similar mechanism, see the docs of VarZeroSlice for more information.

How it Works

VarZeroVec<T>, when used with non-human-readable serializers (like bincode), will serialize to a specially formatted list of bytes. The format is:

• 4 bytes for length (interpreted as a little-endian u32)
• 4 * length bytes of indices (interpreted as little-endian u32)
• Remaining bytes for actual data

Each element in the indices array points to the starting index of its corresponding data part in the data list. The ending index can be calculated from the starting index of the next element (or the length of the slice if dealing with the last element).

See the design doc for more details.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Owned(VarZeroVecOwned<T, F>)

An allocated VarZeroVec, allowing for mutations.

Examples

use zerovec::VarZeroVec;

let mut vzv = VarZeroVec::<str>::default();
vzv.make_mut().push("foo");
vzv.make_mut().push("bar");
assert!(matches!(vzv, VarZeroVec::Owned(_)));

Borrowed(&'a VarZeroSlice<T, F>)

A borrowed VarZeroVec, requiring no allocations.

If a mutating operation is invoked on VarZeroVec, the Borrowed is converted to Owned.

Examples

use zerovec::VarZeroVec;

let bytes = &[
    4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 3, 0, 6, 0, 119, 207, 137, 230, 150, 135, 240,
    145, 132, 131,
];

let vzv: VarZeroVec<str> = VarZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(bytes).unwrap();
assert!(matches!(vzv, VarZeroVec::Borrowed(_)));

Implementations

impl<'a, T: VarULE + ?Sized, F: VarZeroVecFormat> VarZeroVec<'a, T, F>

pub const fn new() -> Self

Creates a new, empty VarZeroVec<T>.

Examples

use zerovec::VarZeroVec;

let vzv: VarZeroVec<str> = VarZeroVec::new();
assert!(vzv.is_empty());

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

Parse a VarZeroVec from a slice of the appropriate format

Slices of the right format can be obtained via VarZeroSlice::as_bytes().

Example

let strings = vec!["foo", "bar", "baz", "quux"];
let vec = VarZeroVec::<str>::from(&strings);

assert_eq!(&vec[0], "foo");
assert_eq!(&vec[1], "bar");
assert_eq!(&vec[2], "baz");
assert_eq!(&vec[3], "quux");

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

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

Safety

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

pub fn make_mut(&mut self) -> &mut VarZeroVecOwned<T, F>

Convert this into a mutable vector of the owned T type, cloning if necessary.

Example

let strings = vec!["foo", "bar", "baz", "quux"];
let mut vec = VarZeroVec::<str>::from(&strings);

assert_eq!(vec.len(), 4);
let mutvec = vec.make_mut();
mutvec.push("lorem ipsum".into());
mutvec[2] = "dolor sit".into();
assert_eq!(&vec[0], "foo");
assert_eq!(&vec[1], "bar");
assert_eq!(&vec[2], "dolor sit");
assert_eq!(&vec[3], "quux");
assert_eq!(&vec[4], "lorem ipsum");

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

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

Example

let strings = vec!["foo", "bar", "baz", "quux"];
let vec = VarZeroVec::<str>::from(&strings);

assert_eq!(vec.len(), 4);
// has 'static lifetime
let owned = vec.into_owned();

pub fn as_slice(&self) -> &VarZeroSlice<T, F>

Obtain this VarZeroVec as a VarZeroSlice

pub fn into_bytes(self) -> Vec<u8>

Takes the byte vector representing the encoded data of this VarZeroVec. If borrowed, this function allocates a byte vector and copies the borrowed bytes into it.

The bytes can be passed back to Self::parse_byte_slice().

To get a reference to the bytes without moving, see VarZeroSlice::as_bytes().

Example

let strings = vec!["foo", "bar", "baz"];
let bytes = VarZeroVec::<str>::from(&strings).into_bytes();

let mut borrowed: VarZeroVec<str> = VarZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(&bytes)?;
assert_eq!(borrowed, &*strings);

pub fn is_owned(&self) -> bool

Return whether the VarZeroVec is operating on owned or borrowed data. VarZeroVec::into_owned() and VarZeroVec::make_mut() can be used to force it into an owned type

Methods from Deref<Target = VarZeroSlice<T, F>>

pub(crate) fn as_components<'a>(&'a self) -> VarZeroVecComponents<'a, T, F>

let vec = VarZeroVec::<str>::from(&strings);

assert!(vec.is_empty());

pub fn iter<'b>(&'b self) -> impl Iterator<Item = &'b T>

Obtain an iterator over this slice’s elements

Example

let strings = vec!["foo", "bar", "baz", "quux"];

assert_eq!(iter_results[0], "foo");
assert_eq!(iter_results[1], "bar");
assert_eq!(iter_results[2], "baz");
assert_eq!(iter_results[3], "quux");

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

Get one of this slice’s elements, returning None if the index is out of bounds

Example

let strings = vec!["foo", "bar", "baz", "quux"];
let vec = VarZeroVec::<str>::from(&strings);

let mut iter_results: Vec<&str> = vec.iter().collect();
assert_eq!(vec.get(0), Some("foo"));
assert_eq!(vec.get(1), Some("bar"));
assert_eq!(vec.get(2), Some("baz"));
assert_eq!(vec.get(3), Some("quux"));
assert_eq!(vec.get(4), None);

pub unsafe fn get_unchecked(&self, idx: usize) -> &T

Get one of this slice’s elements

Safety

index must be in range

Example

let strings = vec!["foo", "bar", "baz", "quux"];
let vec = VarZeroVec::<str>::from(&strings);

let mut iter_results: Vec<&str> = vec.iter().collect();
unsafe {
    assert_eq!(vec.get_unchecked(0), "foo");
    assert_eq!(vec.get_unchecked(1), "bar");
    assert_eq!(vec.get_unchecked(2), "baz");
    assert_eq!(vec.get_unchecked(3), "quux");
}

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

Obtain an owned Vec<Box<T>> out of this

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

Get a reference to the entire encoded backing buffer of this slice

The bytes can be passed back to Self::parse_byte_slice().

To take the bytes as a vector, see VarZeroVec::into_bytes().

Example

let strings = vec!["foo", "bar", "baz"];
let vzv = VarZeroVec::<str>::from(&strings);

assert_eq!(vzv, VarZeroVec::parse_byte_slice(vzv.as_bytes()).unwrap());

pub fn as_varzerovec<'a>(&'a self) -> VarZeroVec<'a, T, F>

Get this VarZeroSlice as a borrowed VarZeroVec

If you wish to repeatedly call methods on this VarZeroSlice, it is more efficient to perform this conversion first

pub fn binary_search(&self, x: &T) -> Result<usize, usize>

Binary searches a sorted VarZeroVec<T> for the given element. For more information, see the standard library function binary_search.

Example

let strings = vec!["a", "b", "f", "g"];

// Same behavior as binary_search when the range covers the whole slice:
assert_eq!(vec.binary_search_in_range("g", 0..7), Some(Ok(3)));
assert_eq!(vec.binary_search_in_range("h", 0..7), Some(Err(4)));

// Will not look outside of the range:

assert_eq!(vec.binary_search_in_range("g", 6..7), Some(Err(0)));

// Will return indices relative to the start of the range:
assert_eq!(vec.binary_search_in_range("g", 1..6), Some(Ok(2)));
assert_eq!(vec.binary_search_in_range("h", 1..6), Some(Err(3)));

// Will return `None` if the range is out of bounds:
assert_eq!(vec.binary_search_in_range("x", 100..200), None);
assert_eq!(vec.binary_search_in_range("x", 0..200), None);

pub fn binary_search_by( &self, predicate: impl FnMut(&T) -> Ordering, ) -> Result<usize, usize>

If the range is out of bounds, returns None. Otherwise, returns a Result according to the behavior of the standard library function binary_search.

The index is returned relative to the start of the range.

Example

let strings = vec!["a", "b", "f", "g", "m", "n", "q"];
let vec = VarZeroVec::<str>::from(&strings);

// Same behavior as binary_search when the range covers the whole slice:
assert_eq!(
    vec.binary_search_in_range_by(|v| v.cmp("g"), 0..7),
    Some(Ok(3))
);
assert_eq!(
    vec.binary_search_in_range_by(|v| v.cmp("h"), 0..7),
    Some(Err(4))
);

// Will not look outside of the range:
assert_eq!(
    vec.binary_search_in_range_by(|v| v.cmp("g"), 0..1),
    Some(Err(1))
);
assert_eq!(
    vec.binary_search_in_range_by(|v| v.cmp("g"), 6..7),
    Some(Err(0))
);

// Will return indices relative to the start of the range:
assert_eq!(
    vec.binary_search_in_range_by(|v| v.cmp("g"), 1..6),
    Some(Ok(2))
);
assert_eq!(
    vec.binary_search_in_range_by(|v| v.cmp("h"), 1..6),
    Some(Err(3))
);

// Will return `None` if the range is out of bounds:
assert_eq!(
    vec.binary_search_in_range_by(|v| v.cmp("x"), 100..200),
    None
);
assert_eq!(vec.binary_search_in_range_by(|v| v.cmp("x"), 0..200), None);
