Struct ValidatedPath 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct ValidatedPath {
    pub anchor_index: usize,
    pub depth: usize,
}

The result of a successful certificate path validation.

Fields are pub for direct read access. #[non_exhaustive] prevents external code from constructing ValidatedPath directly and from pattern-matching exhaustively, preserving the ability to add fields in future minor versions without a breaking change.

Copy stability

ValidatedPath derives Copy and is committed to remain Copy within the current major version. Any future field additions that are non-Copy will require an explicit removal of the Copy derive, constituting a breaking change per semantic versioning. Callers may depend on Copy within the 0.x series at the corresponding minor version pin.

Fields (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive structs could have additional fields added in future. Therefore, non-exhaustive structs cannot be constructed in external crates using the traditional Struct { .. } syntax; cannot be matched against without a wildcard ..; and struct update syntax will not work.

anchor_index: usize

Index into the anchors slice of the trust anchor that terminated the path.

depth: usize

Number of certificates in the validated chain minus one (chain.len() - 1).

For a single self-signed certificate, depth == 0. For a leaf + one intermediate, depth == 1. This equals chain.len().saturating_sub(1).

Note: this counts all certificates except the trust anchor — including self-issued intermediates that RFC 5280 §4.2.1.9 excludes from the pathLenConstraint count. For chains with self-issued intermediates the depth field may be larger than the RFC 5280 path length.

Do not compare depth directly against a certificate’s BasicConstraints pathLenConstraint value. RFC 5280 §4.2.1.9 defines pathLenConstraint as the number of non-self-issued intermediates below the issuing CA, which differs from this field’s total certificate count. Use the RFC 5280 §6.1.4(b) accounting performed by chain_walk instead.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ValidatedPath

fn clone(&self) -> ValidatedPath

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ValidatedPath

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Hash for ValidatedPath

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl PartialEq for ValidatedPath

fn eq(&self, other: &ValidatedPath) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
