Crate as_slice[−][src]
AsSlice
and AsMutSlice
traits
These traits are somewhat similar to the AsRef
and AsMut
except that they are NOT
polymorphic (no input type parameter) and their methods always return slices ([T]
).
The main use case of these traits is writing generic code that accepts (fixed size) buffers. For
example, a bound T: StableDeref + AsMutSlice<Element = u8> + 'static
will accepts types like
&'static mut [u8]
and &'static mut [u8; 128]
– all
of them are appropriate for DMA transfers.
Minimal Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
This crate is guaranteed to compile on stable Rust 1.51 and up. It might compile on older versions but that may change in any new patch release.
