Trait mz_ore::cast::ReinterpretCast
source · pub trait ReinterpretCast<T> {
// Required method
fn reinterpret_cast(from: T) -> Self;
}Expand description
A trait for reinterpreting casts.
ReinterpretCast is like as, but it allows the caller to be specific about their
intentions to reinterpreting the bytes from one type to another. For example, if we
have some u32 that we want to use as the return value of a postgres function, and
we don’t mind converting large unsigned numbers to negative signed numbers, then
we would use ReinterpretCast<i32>.
ReinterpretCast should be preferred to the as operator, since it explicitly
conveys the intention to reinterpret the type.
