Trait AllocBytes

pub trait AllocBytes:
    Clone
    + Debug
    + Deref<Target = [u8]>
    + DerefMut<Target = [u8]> {
    // Required methods
    fn from_bytes<'a>(slice: impl Into<Cow<'a, [u8]>>, _align: Align) -> Self;

Functionality required for the bytes of an Allocation.

Required Methods

fn from_bytes<'a>(slice: impl Into<Cow<'a, [u8]>>, _align: Align) -> Self

Create an AllocBytes from a slice of u8.

fn zeroed(size: Size, _align: Align) -> Option<Self>

Create a zeroed AllocBytes of the specified size and alignment. Returns None if we ran out of memory on the host.

fn as_mut_ptr(&mut self) -> *mut u8

Gives direct access to the raw underlying storage.

Crucially this pointer is compatible with:

• other pointers returned by this method, and
• references returned from deref(), as long as there was no write.

fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const u8

Gives direct access to the raw underlying storage.

Crucially this pointer is compatible with:

• other pointers returned by this method, and
• references returned from deref(), as long as there was no write.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.

Implementations on Foreign Types

impl AllocBytes for Box<[u8]>

Default bytes for Allocation is a Box<u8>.

fn from_bytes<'a>(slice: impl Into<Cow<'a, [u8]>>, _align: Align) -> Self

fn zeroed(size: Size, _align: Align) -> Option<Self>

fn as_mut_ptr(&mut self) -> *mut u8

fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const u8
