Struct Parser

pub struct Parser<'a> {
    pub bytes: &'a [u8],
}

A byte-oriented parser, for use in decoding CodeView records.

Fields

bytes: &'a [u8]

The bytes that have not yet been parsed.

Implementations

impl<'a> Parser<'a>

pub fn new(bytes: &'a [u8]) -> Self

Starts a new parser.

pub fn peek_rest(&self) -> &'a [u8]

Gets the rest of the unparsed bytes in the parser. The parser still retains a reference to the same data.

pub fn take_rest(&mut self) -> &'a [u8]

Gets the rest of the unparsed

pub fn into_rest(self) -> &'a [u8]

Consumes this Parser and returns the unparsed bytes within it.

This should be used in situations where there is no valid reason to use the Parser after taking the rest of the bytes within it. In situations where a parse() method only has access to &mut Parser, then this function cannot be used, and the caller should use Parser::take_rest.

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Indicates whether there are any bytes left to parse.

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of unparsed bytes in the parser.

pub fn needs(&self, n: usize) -> Result<(), ParserError>

Checks that the buffer has at least n bytes.

This can be used as an optimization improvement in some situations. Ordinarily, code like this will compile to a series of bounds checks:

let mut p = Parser::new(bytes);
let a = p.u32()?;
let b = p.u16()?;
let c = p.u16()?;
let d = p.u32()?;

Inserting a a.needs(12)? statement can sometimes enable the compiler to collapse a series of bounds checks (4, in this case) to a single bounds check.

pub fn bytes(&mut self, n: usize) -> Result<&'a [u8], ParserError>

Takes the next n bytes of input and returns a slice to it. The parser is advanced by n.

pub fn skip(&mut self, n: usize) -> Result<(), ParserError>

Skips n bytes.

pub fn get<T: FromBytes + Unaligned + KnownLayout + Immutable>( &mut self, ) -> Result<&'a T, ParserError>

Parses a reference to a structure. The input must contain at least size_of::<T>() bytes.

pub fn copy<T: FromBytes + Unaligned>(&mut self) -> Result<T, ParserError>

Parses a copy of a structure. The input must contain at least size_of::<T>() bytes.

pub fn parse<T: Parse<'a>>(&mut self) -> Result<T, ParserError>

Parses a T from the input, if T knows how to read from a Parser.

This exists mainly to allow more succinct calls, using type inference.

pub fn slice<T: FromBytes + Unaligned + Immutable>( &mut self, len: usize, ) -> Result<&'a [T], ParserError>

Parses a slice of items. The input must contain at least [size_of::<T>() * n] bytes.

pub fn array<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> Result<[u8; N], ParserError>

Copies an array of items with a constant size and advances the parser.

pub fn u8(&mut self) -> Result<u8, ParserError>

Reads one byte and advances.

pub fn i8(&mut self) -> Result<i8, ParserError>

Reads one signed byte and advances.

pub fn i16(&mut self) -> Result<i16, ParserError>

Reads an i16 (in little-endian order) and advances.

pub fn i32(&mut self) -> Result<i32, ParserError>

Reads an i32 (in little-endian order) and advances.

pub fn i64(&mut self) -> Result<i64, ParserError>

Reads an i64 (in little-endian order) and advances.

pub fn u16(&mut self) -> Result<u16, ParserError>

Reads an u16 (in little-endian order) and advances.

pub fn u32(&mut self) -> Result<u32, ParserError>

Reads an u32 (in little-endian order) and advances.

pub fn u64(&mut self) -> Result<u64, ParserError>

Reads an u64 (in little-endian order) and advances.

pub fn u128(&mut self) -> Result<u128, ParserError>

Reads an u128 (in little-endian order) and advances.

pub fn i128(&mut self) -> Result<i128, ParserError>

Reads an i128 (in little-endian order) and advances.

pub fn f32(&mut self) -> Result<f32, ParserError>

Reads an f32 (in little-endian order) and advances.

pub fn f64(&mut self) -> Result<f64, ParserError>

Reads an f64 (in little-endian order) and advances.

pub fn skip_strz(&mut self) -> Result<(), ParserError>

Skips over a NUL-terminated string.

pub fn strz(&mut self) -> Result<&'a BStr, ParserError>

Reads a NUL-terminated string, without checking that it is UTF-8 encoded.

pub fn strt_raw(&mut self) -> Result<&'a BStr, ParserError>

Reads a length-prefixed string, without checking that it is UTF-8 encoded.

pub fn strt(&mut self) -> Result<&'a str, ParserError>

Reads a length-prefixed string.

pub fn type_index(&mut self) -> Result<TypeIndex, ParserError>

Parses a 32-bit TypeIndex.

pub fn number(&mut self) -> Result<Number<'a>, ParserError>

Parses a generic number value.
