Expand description

Marker trait for types that can be safely converted to bytes.

Required Associated Constants§

source

const MIN_LAYOUT: Layout

Specified the minimum layout requirements for the allocation:

  • is at least as big as MIN_LAYOUT.size()
  • referenced/pointed data is at least as aligned as MIN_LAYOUT.align()

For DSTs, final size should be exactly the same as the allocation’s.

Safety

In Rust, it is considered UB for pointers/references/Box<T>es to be dangling, unaligned or pointing to invalid value.

The alignment check is done using MIN_LAYOUT and thus can cause UB if implemented incorrectly.
