config.rs

//! The config module is used to change the behavior of bincode's encoding and decoding logic.
//!
//! *Important* make sure you use the same config for encoding and decoding, or else bincode will not work properly.
//!
//! To use a config, first create a type of [Configuration]. This type will implement trait [Config] for use with bincode.
//!
//! ```
//! # extern crate cu_bincode as bincode;
//! let config = bincode::config::standard()
//!     // pick one of:
//!     .with_big_endian()
//!     .with_little_endian()
//!     // pick one of:
//!     .with_variable_int_encoding()
//!     .with_fixed_int_encoding();
//! ```
//!
//! See [Configuration] for more information on the configuration options.

// When adding more features to configuration, follow these steps:
// - Create 2 or more structs that can be used as a type (e.g. Limit and NoLimit)
// - Add an `Internal...Config` to the `internal` module
// - Make sure `Config` and `impl<T> Config for T` extend from this new trait
// - Add a generic to `Configuration`
// - Add this generic to `impl<...> Default for Configuration<...>`
// - Add this generic to `const fn generate<...>()`
// - Add this generic to _every_ function in `Configuration`
// - Add your new methods

    /// Encoding an unsigned integer v (of any type excepting u8) works as follows:
    ///
    /// 1. If `u < 251`, encode it as a single byte with that value.
    /// 2. If `251 <= u < 2**16`, encode it as a literal byte 251, followed by a u16 with value `u`.
    /// 3. If `2**16 <= u < 2**32`, encode it as a literal byte 252, followed by a u32 with value `u`.
    /// 4. If `2**32 <= u < 2**64`, encode it as a literal byte 253, followed by a u64 with value `u`.
    /// 5. If `2**64 <= u < 2**128`, encode it as a literal byte 254, followed by a u128 with value `u`.
    ///
    /// Then, for signed integers, we first convert to unsigned using the zigzag algorithm,
    /// and then encode them as we do for unsigned integers generally. The reason we use this
    /// algorithm is that it encodes those values which are close to zero in less bytes; the
    /// obvious algorithm, where we encode the cast values, gives a very large encoding for all
    /// negative values.
    ///
    /// The zigzag algorithm is defined as follows:
    ///
    /// ```rust
/// # extern crate cu_bincode as bincode;
    /// # type Signed = i32;
    /// # type Unsigned = u32;
    /// fn zigzag(v: Signed) -> Unsigned {
    ///     match v {
    ///         0 => 0,
    ///         // To avoid the edge case of Signed::min_value()
    ///         // !n is equal to `-n - 1`, so this is:
    ///         // !n * 2 + 1 = 2(-n - 1) + 1 = -2n - 2 + 1 = -2n - 1
    ///         v if v < 0 => !(v as Unsigned) * 2 - 1,
    ///         v if v > 0 => (v as Unsigned) * 2,
    /// #       _ => unreachable!()
    ///     }
    /// }
    /// ```

    /// ```rust
/// # extern crate cu_bincode as bincode;
    /// # let zigzag = |n: i64| -> u64 {
    /// #     match n {
