Expand description
Traits over unaligned little-endian data (ULE, pronounced “yule”).
The main traits for this module are ULE, AsULE and, VarULE.
See the design doc for details on how these traits works under the hood.

Modules§
- Documentation on implementing custom VarULE types.
- ULE impls for tuples.
Structs§
- A u8 array of little-endian data corresponding to a Unicode scalar value.
- This type is used by the custom derive to represent multiple
VarULEfields packed into a single end-of-struct field. It is not recommended to use this type directly. - Optional type which uses
NichedOptionULE<U,N>as ULE type. The implementors guarantee thatN == core::mem::sizeo_of::<Self>()[repr(transparent)] guarantees that the layout is same asOption<U> - A u8 array of little-endian data with infallible conversions to and from &u8.
- A u8 array of little-endian data that is expected to be a Unicode scalar value, but is not validated as such.
- A byte slice that is expected to be a UTF-8 string but does not enforce that invariant.
Traits§
- A trait for any type that has a 1:1 mapping with an unaligned little-endian (ULE) type.
- Allows types to be encoded as VarULEs. This is highly useful for implementing VarULE on custom DSTs where the type cannot be obtained as a reference to some other type.
- An
EqULEtype is one whose byte sequence equals the byte sequence of its ULE type on little-endian platforms. This enables certain performance optimizations, such asZeroVec::try_from_slice. - The
ULEtypes implementing this trait guarantee thatNicheBytes::NICHE_BIT_PATTERNcan never occur as a valid byte representation of the type. - A trait for a type where aligned slices can be cast to unaligned slices.
- Fixed-width, byte-aligned data that can be cast to and from a little-endian byte slice.
- Variable-width, byte-aligned data that can be cast to and from a little-endian byte slice.
Functions§
Unions§
ULEtype forNichedOption<U,N>where U implementsNicheBytes. The invalid bit pattern is used as the niche.
