[−][src]Module bitvec::bits
Permit use of Rust native types as bit collections.
This module exposes two traits, Bits
and BitsMut
, which function similarly
to the AsRef
and AsMut
traits in the standard library. These traits allow an
implementor to express the means by which it can be interpreted as a collection
of bits.
Trait coherence rules forbid the following blanket implementation,
ⓘThis example is not tested
impl<C: Cursor, T: Bits> AsRef<BitSlice<C, T::Store>> for T { fn as_ref(&self) -> &BitSlice<C, T::Store> { Bits::as_bitslice(self) } } impl<C: Cursor, T: BitsMut> AsMut<BitSlice<C, T::Store>> for T { fn as_ref(&mut self) -> &mut BitSlice<C, T::Store> { BitsMut::as_mut_bitslice(self) } }
but it is correct in theory, and so all types which implement Bits
should
implement AsRef<BitSlice>
and all types which implement BitsMut
should
implement AsMut<BitSlice>
.
