Trait Vint 

pub trait Vint: Into<u64> + Copy {
    // Provided methods
    fn as_vint(self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, ToolError> { ... }
    fn as_vint_with_length<const LENGTH: usize>(
        &self,
    ) -> Result<[u8; LENGTH], ToolError> { ... }
}

Trait to enable easy serialization to a vint.

This is only available for types that can be cast as u64.

Provided Methods

fn as_vint(self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, ToolError>

Returns a representation of the current value as a vint array.

Errors

This can return an error if the value is too large to be representable as a vint.

fn as_vint_with_length<const LENGTH: usize>( &self, ) -> Result<[u8; LENGTH], ToolError>

Returns a representation of the current value as a vint array with a specified length.

Errors

This can return an error if the value is too large to be representable as a vint.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
