abomonation 0.7.3

//! Abomonation (spelling intentional) is a fast serialization / deserialization crate.
//!
//! Abomonation takes typed elements and simply writes their contents as binary.
//! It then gives the element the opportunity to serialize more data, which is
//! useful for types with owned memory such as `String` and `Vec`.
//! The result is effectively a copy of reachable memory.
//! Deserialization results in a shared reference to the type, pointing at the binary data itself.
//!
//! Abomonation does several unsafe things, and should ideally be used only through the methods
//! `encode` and `decode` on types implementing the `Abomonation` trait. Implementing the
//! `Abomonation` trait is highly discouraged; instead, you can use the [`abomonation_derive` crate](https://crates.io/crates/abomonation_derive).
//!
//! **Very important**: Abomonation reproduces the memory as laid out by the serializer, which will
//! reveal architectural variations. Data encoded on a 32bit big-endian machine will not decode
//! properly on a 64bit little-endian machine. Moreover, it could result in undefined behavior if
//! the deserialization results in invalid typed data. Please do not do this.
//!
//!
//! # Examples
//! ```
//! use abomonation::{encode, decode};
//!
//! // create some test data out of abomonation-approved types
//! let vector = (0..256u64).map(|i| (i, format!("{}", i)))
//!                         .collect::<Vec<_>>();
//!
//! // encode a Vec<(u64, String)> into a Vec<u8>
//! let mut bytes = Vec::new();
//! unsafe { encode(&vector, &mut bytes); }
//!
//! // decode a &Vec<(u64, String)> from &mut [u8] binary data
//! if let Some((result, remaining)) = unsafe { decode::<Vec<(u64, String)>>(&mut bytes) } {
//!     assert!(result == &vector);
//!     assert!(remaining.len() == 0);
//! }
//! ```

/// Encodes a typed reference into a binary buffer.

/// # Examples

/// use abomonation::{encode, decode};

///
/// `decode` treats the first `mem::size_of::<T>()` bytes as a `T`, and will then `exhume` the
/// element, offering it the ability to consume prefixes of `bytes` to back any owned data.
/// The return value is either a pair of the typed reference `&T` and the remaining `&mut [u8]`
/// binary data, or `None` if decoding failed due to lack of data.
///
/// # Safety
///
/// The `decode` method is unsafe due to a number of unchecked invariants.
///
/// Decoding arbitrary `&[u8]` data can
/// result in invalid utf8 strings, enums with invalid discriminants, etc. `decode` *does*
/// perform bounds checks, as part of determining if enough data are present to completely decode,
/// and while it should only write within the bounds of its `&mut [u8]` argument, the use of invalid
/// utf8 and enums are undefined behavior.
///
/// Please do not decode data that was not encoded by the corresponding implementation.
///
/// In addition, `decode` does not ensure that the bytes representing types will be correctly aligned.
/// On several platforms unaligned reads are undefined behavior, but on several other platforms they
/// are only a performance penalty.
