Enum ScalarKind 

pub enum ScalarKind {
    Unsigned,
    Signed,
}

Represents the kind of scalar value (signed vs unsigned integer).

This enum distinguishes between signed and unsigned integer types in circuit interfaces, allowing the system to properly serialize/deserialize values and generate correct Rust types.

Examples

use arcis_interface::{Value, ScalarKind};

// Unsigned 32-bit integer (u32)
let unsigned = Value::Scalar {
    size_in_bits: 32,
    kind: ScalarKind::Unsigned
};

// Signed 32-bit integer (i32)
let signed = Value::Scalar {
    size_in_bits: 32,
    kind: ScalarKind::Signed
};

Variants

Unsigned

Unsigned integer type (u8, u16, u32, u64, u128).

This is the default for backward compatibility with existing circuits that were created before signed integer support was added.

Signed

Signed integer type (i8, i16, i32, i64, i128).

Signed integers use two’s complement representation in the MPC protocol.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ScalarKind

fn clone(&self) -> ScalarKind

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for ScalarKind

impl Debug for ScalarKind

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for ScalarKind

fn default() -> ScalarKind

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl Eq for ScalarKind

impl PartialEq for ScalarKind

fn eq(&self, other: &ScalarKind) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
