A Rust library for converting slices of bytes to vectors of a specific type.
bytes_to_type
allows you to conveniently convert slices of byte data into vectors of a specific type, handling necessary conversions and memory alignment seamlessly.
- Type Conversion: Easily convert slices of bytes into vectors of a specified type.
- Memory Safety: Ensures that conversions maintain Rust’s guarantees of memory safety.
Add bytes_to_type
to your Cargo.toml
file:
[dependencies]
bytes_to_type = "0.1.1"
use bytes_to_type::bytes_to_type;
// This macro will generate a function with the following signature:
// pub fn bytes_to_u32(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Vec<u32>, anyhow::Error>
bytes_to_type!(u32);
fn main() {
let bytes = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8];
let result = bytes_to_u32(&bytes).expect("Failed to convert bytes to u32");
assert_eq!(result, vec![67305985, 134678021]);
}
