19 //! This crate gives small utilities for casting between plain data types.
20 //!
21 //! ## Basics
22 //!
23 //! Data comes in five basic forms in Rust, so we have five basic casting
24 //! functions:
25 //!
26 //! * `T` uses [`cast`]
27 //! * `&T` uses [`cast_ref`]
28 //! * `&mut T` uses [`cast_mut`]
29 //! * `&[T]` uses [`cast_slice`]
30 //! * `&mut [T]` uses [`cast_slice_mut`]
31 //!
32 //! Depending on the function, the [`NoUninit`] and/or [`AnyBitPattern`] traits
33 //! are used to maintain memory safety.
34 //!
35 //! **Historical Note:** When the crate first started the [`Pod`] trait was used
36 //! instead, and so you may hear people refer to that, but it has the strongest
37 //! requirements and people eventually wanted the more fine-grained system, so
38 //! here we are. All types that impl `Pod` have a blanket impl to also support
39 //! `NoUninit` and `AnyBitPattern`. The traits unfortunately do not have a
40 //! perfectly clean hierarchy for semver reasons.
41 //!
42 //! ## Failures
43 //!
44 //! Some casts will never fail, and other casts might fail.
45 //!
46 //! * `cast::<u32, f32>` always works (and [`f32::from_bits`]).
47 //! * `cast_ref::<[u8; 4], u32>` might fail if the specific array reference
48 //! given at runtime doesn't have alignment 4.
49 //!
50 //! In addition to the "normal" forms of each function, which will panic on
51 //! invalid input, there's also `try_` versions which will return a `Result`.
52 //!
53 //! If you would like to statically ensure that a cast will work at runtime you
54 //! can use the `must_cast` crate feature and the `must_` casting functions. A
55 //! "must cast" that can't be statically known to be valid will cause a
56 //! compilation error (and sometimes a very hard to read compilation error).
57 //!
58 //! ## Using Your Own Types
59 //!
60 //! All the functions listed above are guarded by the [`Pod`] trait, which is a
61 //! sub-trait of the [`Zeroable`] trait.
62 //!
63 //! If you enable the crate's `derive` feature then these traits can be derived
64 //! on your own types. The derive macros will perform the necessary checks on
65 //! your type declaration, and trigger an error if your type does not qualify.
66 //!
67 //! The derive macros might not cover all edge cases, and sometimes they will
68 //! error when actually everything is fine. As a last resort you can impl these
69 //! traits manually. However, these traits are `unsafe`, and you should
70 //! carefully read the requirements before using a manual implementation.
71 //!
72 //! ## Cargo Features
73 //!
74 //! The crate supports Rust 1.34 when no features are enabled, and so there's
75 //! cargo features for thing that you might consider "obvious".
76 //!
77 //! The cargo features **do not** promise any particular MSRV, and they may
78 //! increase their MSRV in new versions.
79 //!
80 //! * `derive`: Provide derive macros for the various traits.
81 //! * `extern_crate_alloc`: Provide utilities for `alloc` related types such as
82 //! Box and Vec.
83 //! * `zeroable_maybe_uninit` and `zeroable_atomics`: Provide more [`Zeroable`]
84 //! impls.
85 //! * `pod_saturating`: Provide more [`Pod`] and [`Zeroable`] impls.
86 //! * `wasm_simd` and `aarch64_simd`: Support more SIMD types.
87 //! * `min_const_generics`: Provides appropriate impls for arrays of all lengths
88 //! instead of just for a select list of array lengths.
89 //! * `must_cast`: Provides the `must_` functions, which will compile error if
90 //! the requested cast can't be statically verified.
91 //! * `const_zeroed`: Provides a const version of the `zeroed` function.
92 //!
93 //! ## Related Crates
94 //!
95 //! - [`pack1`](https://docs.rs/pack1), which contains `bytemuck`-compatible
96 //! packed little-endian, big-endian and native-endian integer and floating
97 //! point number types.
