Function safe_transmute::to_bytes::transmute_to_bytes_vec
source · pub fn transmute_to_bytes_vec<S: TriviallyTransmutable>(
from: Vec<S>
) -> Result<Vec<u8>, Error<'static, S, u8>>
Expand description
Transmute a vector of elements of an arbitrary type into a vector of their bytes, using the same memory buffer as the former.
This is equivalent to calling full::transmute_vec()
where
the target type is u8
.
§Errors
An error is returned if the minimum memory alignment requirements are not
the same between S
and u8
:
std::mem::align_of::<S>() != 1
The only truly safe way of doing this is to create a transmuted slice view of the vector or make a copy anyway.
