//! as special case opt-in raw-copy overrides (see [`pod_wrapper!`]).
//!
//! # Examples
//! Raw byte vec with solana short vec length encoding:
//!
//! ```
//! # #[cfg(all(feature = "solana-short-vec", feature = "alloc"))] {
//! # use wincode::{containers::self, len::ShortU16};

//! #[derive(Serialize, SchemaWrite)]
//! struct MyStruct {
//!     #[serde(with = "solana_short_vec")]
//!     #[wincode(with = "containers::Vec<_, ShortU16>")]
//!     vec: Vec<u8>,
//! }
//!
//! let my_struct = MyStruct {
//!     vec: vec![1, 2, 3],
//! };
//! let wincode_bytes = wincode::serialize(&my_struct).unwrap();
//! let bincode_bytes = bincode::serialize(&my_struct).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(wincode_bytes, bincode_bytes);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! Vector with struct elements and custom length encoding:
//!
//! ```
//! # #[cfg(all(feature = "solana-short-vec", feature = "alloc", feature = "derive"))] {
//! # use wincode_derive::SchemaWrite;
//! # use wincode::{containers::self, len::ShortU16};
//! # use serde::Serialize;

/// Creates a wrapper type for a type that is represented by raw bytes and does not have any invalid
/// bit patterns.
///
/// By using `pod_wrapper!`, you are telling wincode that it can serialize and deserialize a type
/// with a single memcpy -- it wont pay attention to things like struct layout, endianness, or
/// anything else that would require validity or bit pattern checks. This is a very strong claim to
/// make, so be sure that your type adheres to those requirements.
///
/// Composable with sequence [`containers`](self) or compound types (structs, tuples) for
/// an optimized read/write implementation.
///
/// This can be useful outside of sequences as well, for example on newtype structs
/// containing byte arrays with `#[repr(transparent)]`.
///
/// ---
/// 💡 **Note:** as of `wincode` `0.2.0`, `pod_wrapper!` is no longer needed for types that wincode
/// can determine are "memcpy-safe".
///
/// This includes:
/// - [`u8`]
/// - [`[u8; N]`](prim@array)
/// - structs comprised of the above, and;
///     - annotated with `#[derive(SchemaWrite)]` or `#[derive(SchemaRead)]`, and;
///     - annotated with `#[repr(transparent)]` or `#[repr(C)]`.
///
/// Similarly, using built-in std collections like `Vec<T>` or `Box<[T]>` where `T` is one of the
/// above will also be automatically optimized.
///
/// You'll really only need to reach for [`pod_wrapper!`] when dealing with foreign types for which
/// you cannot derive `SchemaWrite` or `SchemaRead`. Or you're in a controlled scenario where you
/// explicitly want to avoid endianness or layout checks.
///
/// # Safety
///
/// - The type must allow any bit pattern (e.g., no `bool`s, no `char`s, etc.)
/// - If used on a compound type like a struct, all fields must be also be memcpy-able, its layout
///   must be guaranteed (via `#[repr(transparent)]` or `#[repr(C)]`), and the struct must not have
///   any padding.
/// - Must not contain references or pointers (includes types like `Vec` or `Box`).
///     - Note, you may use `pod_wrapper!` created types *inside* types like `Vec` or `Box`, e.g.,
///       `Vec<PodT>` or `Box<[PodT]>`, but using `pod_wrapper!` on the outer type is invalid.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// A repr-transparent newtype struct containing a byte array where you cannot derive `SchemaWrite`
/// or `SchemaRead`:
/// ```
/// # #[cfg(all(feature = "alloc", feature = "derive"))] {
/// # use wincode::containers;
/// # use wincode_derive::{SchemaWrite, SchemaRead};
/// # use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
/// # use std::array;
/// #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Clone, Copy)]
/// #[repr(transparent)]
/// struct Address([u8; 32]);
///
/// wincode::pod_wrapper! {
///     unsafe struct PodAddress(Address);
/// }
///
/// #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, SchemaWrite, SchemaRead)]
/// struct MyStruct {
///     #[wincode(with = "PodAddress")]
///     address: Address
/// }
///
/// let my_struct = MyStruct {
///     address: Address(array::from_fn(|i| i as u8)),
/// };
/// let wincode_bytes = wincode::serialize(&my_struct).unwrap();
/// let bincode_bytes = bincode::serialize(&my_struct).unwrap();
