Ergonomic, checked cast functions for primitive types
Documentation
//! Ergonomic, checked cast functions for primitive types
//!
//! This crate provides one checked cast function for each numeric primitive. Use these functions
//! to perform a cast from any other numeric primitive:
//!
//! ```
//! extern crate cast;
//!
//! use cast::{u8, u16, Error};
//!
//! # fn main() {
//! // Infallible operations, like integer promotion, are equivalent to a normal cast with `as`
//! assert_eq!(u16(0u8), 0u16);
//!
//! // Everything else will return a `Result` depending on the success of the operation
//! assert_eq!(u8(0u16), Ok(0u8));
//! assert_eq!(u8(256u16), Err(Error::Overflow));
//! assert_eq!(u8(-1i8), Err(Error::Underflow));
//! assert_eq!(u8(1. / 0.), Err(Error::Infinite));
//! assert_eq!(u8(0. / 0.), Err(Error::NaN));
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! There are no namespace problems between these functions, the "primitive modules" in `core`/`std`
//! and the built-in primitive types, so all them can be in the same scope:
//!
//! ```
//! extern crate cast;
//!
//! use std::u8;
//! use cast::{u8, u16};
//!
//! # fn main() {
//! // `u8` as a type
//! let x: u8 = 0;
//! // `u8` as a module
//! let y = u16(u8::MAX);
//! // `u8` as a function
//! let z = u8(y).unwrap();
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! The checked cast functionality is also usable with type aliases via the `cast` static method:
//!
//! ```
//! extern crate cast;
//!
//! use std::os::raw::c_ulonglong;
//! // NOTE avoid shadowing `std::convert::From` - cf. rust-lang/rfcs#1311
//! use cast::From as _0;
//!
//!
//! # fn main() {
//! assert_eq!(c_ulonglong::cast(0u8), 0u64);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! This crate also provides a `From` trait that can be used, for example, to create a generic
//! function that accepts any type that can be infallibly casted to `u32`.
//!
//! ```
//! extern crate cast;
//!
//! fn to_u32<T>(x: T) -> u32
//!     // reads as: "where u32 can be casted from T with output u32"
//!     where u32: cast::From<T, Output=u32>,
//! {
//!     cast::u32(x)
//! }
//!
//! # fn main() {
//! assert_eq!(to_u32(0u8), 0u32);
//! assert_eq!(to_u32(1u16), 1u32);
//! assert_eq!(to_u32(2u32), 2u32);
//!
//! // to_u32(-1i32);  // Compile error
//! # }
//! ```
//!
