Module checked

Checked versions of the casting functions exposed in crate root that support CheckedBitPattern types.

Enums

CheckedCastError

The things that can go wrong when casting between CheckedBitPattern data forms.

Traits

CheckedBitPattern

A marker trait that allows types that have some invalid bit patterns to be used in places that otherwise require AnyBitPattern or Pod types by performing a runtime check on a perticular set of bits. This is particularly useful for types like fieldless (‘C-style’) enums, char, bool, and structs containing them.

Functions

Cast A into B

cast_mut

Cast &mut A into &mut B.

cast_ref
