Struct PeriodicArray

#[repr(C)]
pub struct PeriodicArray<T: Clone + Copy, const N: usize> { /* private fields */ }

A struct representing a fixed-size array that provides periodic access to its elements.

Elements in the array are accessed such that indexing beyond the array’s bounds will wrap around to the beginning, effectively treating the array as infinite/periodic. Internally, bounds checks are skipped via the use of get_unchecked and get_unchecked_mut.

Copy is optionally derived when the "copy" feature is enabled. This separation is done for those of us that want full control on when copies are performed.

Type Parameters

• T - The type of elements held in the array.
• N - The compile-time fixed size of the array.

Examples

use periodic_array::p_arr;

let pa = p_arr![1, 2, 3];
assert_eq!(pa[1], 2);
assert_eq!(pa[4], 2); // Access beyond the length wraps around

Implementations

impl<T: Clone + Copy, const N: usize> PeriodicArray<T, N>

pub fn new(inner: [T; N]) -> Self

Methods from Deref<Target = [T; N]>

pub fn as_ascii(&self) -> Option<&[AsciiChar; N]>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ascii_char)

Converts this array of bytes into an array of ASCII characters, or returns None if any of the characters is non-ASCII.

Examples

#![feature(ascii_char)]

const HEX_DIGITS: [std::ascii::Char; 16] =
    *b"0123456789abcdef".as_ascii().unwrap();

assert_eq!(HEX_DIGITS[1].as_str(), "1");
assert_eq!(HEX_DIGITS[10].as_str(), "a");

pub unsafe fn as_ascii_unchecked(&self) -> &[AsciiChar; N]

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ascii_char)

Converts this array of bytes into an array of ASCII characters, without checking whether they’re valid.

Safety

Every byte in the array must be in 0..=127, or else this is UB.

pub fn as_slice(&self) -> &[T]

Returns a slice containing the entire array. Equivalent to &s[..].

pub fn as_mut_slice(&mut self) -> &mut [T]

Returns a mutable slice containing the entire array. Equivalent to &mut s[..].

pub fn each_ref(&self) -> [&T; N]

Borrows each element and returns an array of references with the same size as self.

Example

let floats = [3.1, 2.7, -1.0];
let float_refs: [&f64; 3] = floats.each_ref();
assert_eq!(float_refs, [&3.1, &2.7, &-1.0]);

This method is particularly useful if combined with other methods, like map. This way, you can avoid moving the original array if its elements are not Copy.

let strings = ["Ferris".to_string(), "♥".to_string(), "Rust".to_string()];
let is_ascii = strings.each_ref().map(|s| s.is_ascii());
assert_eq!(is_ascii, [true, false, true]);

// We can still access the original array: it has not been moved.
assert_eq!(strings.len(), 3);

pub fn each_mut(&mut self) -> [&mut T; N]

Borrows each element mutably and returns an array of mutable references with the same size as self.

Example

let mut floats = [3.1, 2.7, -1.0];
let float_refs: [&mut f64; 3] = floats.each_mut();
*float_refs[0] = 0.0;
assert_eq!(float_refs, [&mut 0.0, &mut 2.7, &mut -1.0]);
assert_eq!(floats, [0.0, 2.7, -1.0]);

pub fn split_array_ref<const M: usize>(&self) -> (&[T; M], &[T])

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (split_array)

Divides one array reference into two at an index.

The first will contain all indices from [0, M) (excluding the index M itself) and the second will contain all indices from [M, N) (excluding the index N itself).

Panics

Panics if M > N.

Examples

#![feature(split_array)]

let v = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

{
   let (left, right) = v.split_array_ref::<0>();
   assert_eq!(left, &[]);
   assert_eq!(right, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.split_array_ref::<2>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[3, 4, 5, 6]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.split_array_ref::<6>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[]);
}

pub fn split_array_mut<const M: usize>(&mut self) -> (&mut [T; M], &mut [T])

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (split_array)

Divides one mutable array reference into two at an index.

The first will contain all indices from [0, M) (excluding the index M itself) and the second will contain all indices from [M, N) (excluding the index N itself).

Panics

Panics if M > N.

Examples

#![feature(split_array)]

let mut v = [1, 0, 3, 0, 5, 6];
let (left, right) = v.split_array_mut::<2>();
assert_eq!(left, &mut [1, 0][..]);
assert_eq!(right, &mut [3, 0, 5, 6]);
left[1] = 2;
right[1] = 4;
assert_eq!(v, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);

pub fn rsplit_array_ref<const M: usize>(&self) -> (&[T], &[T; M])

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (split_array)

Divides one array reference into two at an index from the end.

The first will contain all indices from [0, N - M) (excluding the index N - M itself) and the second will contain all indices from [N - M, N) (excluding the index N itself).

Panics

Panics if M > N.

Examples

#![feature(split_array)]

let v = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

{
   let (left, right) = v.rsplit_array_ref::<0>();
   assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
   assert_eq!(right, &[]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.rsplit_array_ref::<2>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2, 3, 4]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[5, 6]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.rsplit_array_ref::<6>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
