Struct null_terminated::Nul

#[repr(C)]
pub struct Nul<A>(_, _);

Generic unsized null-terminated array

&Nul<A> is a thin pointer, so it can be readily used with FFI.

Examples

One can safely take views of null-terminated slices with TryFrom::try_from:

extern "C" {
    fn c_f(path: *const u8) -> i32;
}

fn f(path: &[u8]) -> Result<i32, ()> {
    <&Nul<u8> as ::std::convert::TryFrom<_>>::try_from(path)
        .map(|path| unsafe { c_f(path.as_ptr()) })
}

Implementations

impl<A> Nul<A>

pub const fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const A

Return a pointer to the start of the array.

pub fn as_mut_ptr(&mut self) -> *mut A

Return a mutable pointer to the start of the array.

pub const fn iter(&self) -> Iter<'_, A>

Iterate over array elements.

pub fn iter_mut(&mut self) -> IterMut<'_, A>

Iterate over array elements, mutably.

pub const unsafe fn new_unchecked(p: *const A) -> &'static Self

Create a reference to a null-terminated array, given a pointer to its start.

The caller must make sure the argument does, in fact, point to a null-terminated array, and the returned reference not live longer than the array it refers to. These requirements are not checked.

pub unsafe fn new_unchecked_mut(p: *mut A) -> &'static mut Self

Create a mutable reference to a null-terminated array, given a pointer to its start.

The caller must make sure the argument does, in fact, point to a null-terminated array, and the returned reference not live longer than the array it refers to. These requirements are not checked.

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Return array length. O(n)

pub fn get(&self, i: usize) -> Option<&A>

Get element at given position. O(n) to check bounds

pub fn get_mut(&mut self, i: usize) -> Option<&mut A>

Get element at given position, mutably. O(n) to check bounds

pub fn split_at(&self, i: usize) -> (&[A], &Self)

Split array at given position.

Panics

Panics if index out of bounds.

pub fn split_at_mut(&mut self, i: usize) -> (&mut [A], &mut Self)

Split array at given position, mutably.

Panics

Panics if index out of bounds.

pub fn try_split_at(&self, i: usize) -> Option<(&[A], &Self)>

Split array at given position; return None if index out of bounds.

pub fn try_split_at_mut(&mut self, i: usize) -> Option<(&mut [A], &mut Self)>

Split array at given position, mutably; return None if index out of bounds.
