Function safe_transmute::guarded_transmute_pod_vec_pedantic

pub fn guarded_transmute_pod_vec_pedantic<T: PodTransmutable>(
    bytes: Vec<u8>
) -> Result<Vec<T>, Error>

Trasform a byte vector into a vector of POD.

The vector's allocated byte buffer will be reused when possible, and should not have extraneous data.

Errors

An error is raised in one of the following situations:

• The data does not have a memory alignment compatible with T. You will have to make a copy anyway, or modify how the data was originally made.
• The data does not have enough bytes for a single value T.
• The last chunk of the size of T is not large enough for a value, leaving extraneous bytes.

Examples

// Little-endian
assert_eq!(guarded_transmute_pod_vec_pedantic::<u16>(vec![0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x02])?,
           vec![0x0100, 0x0200]);

assert!(guarded_transmute_pod_vec_pedantic::<u32>(vec![0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xED])
          .is_err());
