Trait ark_serialize::Flags[][src]

pub trait Flags: Default + Clone + Copy + Sized {
    const BIT_SIZE: usize;

    fn u8_bitmask(&self) -> u8;
fn from_u8(value: u8) -> Option<Self>; fn from_u8_remove_flags(value: &mut u8) -> Option<Self> { ... } }
Expand description

Represents metadata to be appended to an object’s serialization. For example, when serializing elliptic curve points, one can use a Flag to represent whether the serialization is the point at infinity, or whether the y coordinate is positive or not. These bits will be appended to the end of the point’s serialization, or included in a new byte, depending on space available.

This is meant to be provided to CanonicalSerializeWithFlags and CanonicalDeserializeWithFlags

Associated Constants

The number of bits required to encode Self. This should be at most 8.
