[][src]Function safe_transmute::transmute_vec_permissive

pub fn transmute_vec_permissive<T: TriviallyTransmutable>(
    bytes: Vec<u8>
) -> Result<Vec<T>, Error>

Transform a byte vector into a vector of values.

The vector's allocated byte buffer will be reused when possible, and have as many instances of a type as will fit, rounded down. Extraneous data is ignored.

Errors

An error is returned in one of the following situations:

Examples

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