Function safe_transmute::guarded_transmute_vec

pub unsafe fn guarded_transmute_vec<T>(bytes: Vec<u8>) -> Result<Vec<T>, Error>

Trasform a byte vector into a vector of an arbitrary type.

The resulting vec will reuse the allocated byte buffer when possible, and should have at least enough bytes to fill a single instance of a type. Extraneous data is ignored.

Examples

// Little-endian
assert_eq!(guarded_transmute_vec::<u16>(vec![0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x02])?,
           vec![0x0100, 0x0200]);
assert_eq!(guarded_transmute_vec::<u32>(vec![0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xED])?,
           vec![0x0000_0004]);

assert!(guarded_transmute_vec::<i16>(vec![0xED]).is_err());
