Struct BinaryBlob 

pub struct BinaryBlob<'a, T>
where
    T: Copy,
{
    pub vec: &'a mut Vec<T>,
}

Proxy struct for plain data. It is used to serialize arrays of trivially copyable data (Vec<u8>) directly as a large chunk of data. For example, an attempt to serialize Vec<u8> serialize each byte as a separate node which is very inefficient.

BinaryBlob stores data very much like crate::visitor::pod::PodVecView except that BinaryBlob has less type safety. In practice, it is used with T = u8 for Strings and Paths. However, it accepts any type T that is Copy, and it lacks the type_id system that PodVecView has for checking that the data it is reading comes from the expected type.

Fields

vec: &'a mut Vec<T>

A reference to a vector that represents a binary blob.

Trait Implementations

impl<T> Visit for BinaryBlob<'_, T>

where T: Copy + Pod,

fn visit(&mut self, name: &str, visitor: &mut Visitor) -> VisitResult

Read or write this value, depending on whether Visitor::is_reading() is true or false.
