A wrapper around the decomposed parts of a `Vec<T>`.

This struct contains the `Vec`'s internal pointer, length, and allocated
capacity.

`RawParts` makes [`Vec::from_raw_parts`] and [`Vec::into_raw_parts`] easier to
use by giving names to the returned values. This prevents errors from mixing up
the two `usize` values of length and capacity.

## Usage

Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
raw-parts = "2.2.3"
```

Then decompose `Vec<T>`s like:

```rust
use raw_parts::RawParts;

let v: Vec<i32> = vec![-1, 0, 1];

let RawParts { ptr, length, capacity } = RawParts::from_vec(v);

let rebuilt = unsafe {
    // We can now make changes to the components, such as
    // transmuting the raw pointer to a compatible type.
    let ptr = ptr as *mut u32;
    let raw_parts = RawParts { ptr, length, capacity };

    raw_parts.into_vec()
};
assert_eq!(rebuilt, [4294967295, 0, 1]);
```

## `no_std`

raw-parts is `no_std` compatible with a required dependency on [`alloc`].

## Minimum Supported Rust Version

This crate requires at least Rust 1.76.0. This version can be bumped in minor
releases.
