Struct Section 

pub struct Section<'view> { /* private fields */ }

Borrowed view of one validated section in a snapshot.

A Section carries the section’s byte payload along with its declared metadata. Payload bytes are bounds- and overlap-checked at snapshot open time. Typed-slice access via Section::try_as_slice verifies the actual borrowed pointer’s alignment at the call site.

Performance

All methods are O(1) or O(payload.len()) for typed conversions.

Implementations

impl<'view> Section<'view>

pub const fn kind(&self) -> u32

Returns the section’s opaque kind identifier.

Performance

This method is O(1).

pub const fn version(&self) -> u32

Returns the section’s opaque version identifier.

Performance

This method is O(1).

pub const fn declared_alignment(&self) -> usize

Returns the alignment the producer declared for this payload.

This is metadata recorded at build time, not a guarantee about the actual borrowed pointer. Callers that intend to interpret the payload as a typed slice should prefer Section::try_as_slice, which checks the actual payload pointer.

Performance

This method is O(1).

pub const fn bytes(&self) -> &'view [u8]

Returns the section’s borrowed payload bytes.

Performance

This method is O(1).

pub fn try_as_slice<T>(&self) -> Result<&'view [T], SectionViewError>

where T: FromBytes + Immutable + KnownLayout,

Borrows the payload as a typed slice of T.

Errors if (a) payload.len() is not a multiple of core::mem::size_of::<T>() or (b) the payload’s actual base address does not satisfy core::mem::align_of::<T>(). The producer’s declared alignment_log2 is not consulted; the actual borrowed pointer is checked directly so that mmap’d or sub-sliced inputs cannot bypass the check.

Errors

Returns SectionViewError when the payload cannot be borrowed as &[T] without copying.

Performance

This method is O(1) modulo the bounds and alignment checks; it performs no allocation and no per-element work.
