Crate generic_array [−] [src]

This crate implements a structure that can be used as a generic array type.use Core Rust array types [T; N] can't be used generically with respect to N, so for example this:

struct Foo<T, N> {
    data: [T; N]
}

won't work.

generic-array exports a GenericArray<T,N> type, which lets the above be implemented as:

struct Foo<T, N: ArrayLength<T>> {
    data: GenericArray<T,N>
}

The ArrayLength<T> trait is implemented by default for tuples consisting of binary structs _1 and _0, like ((_1, _0), _1). This allows one to define length types as, for example, type _6 = ((_1, _1), _0).

Currently, the crate implements its own numeric types. This might change in the future.

Structs

GenericArray	Struct representing a generic array - GenericArray works like [T; N]
GenericArrayImplEven	Internal type used to generate a struct of appropriate size
GenericArrayImplOdd	Internal type used to generate a struct of appropriate size
_0	Struct representing bit O
_1	Struct representing bit 1

Traits

ArrayLength	Trait making GenericArray work, marking types to be used as length of an array
Nat	Nonnegative type-level integer, e.g., `((_1,_0),_1) = 0b101 = 5`. Copied from shoggoth.rs
