Bounded Integer

This crate provides two types of bounded integer for use in Rust.

Macro-generated bounded integers

The [bounded_integer!] macro allows you to define your own bounded integer type, given a specific range it inhabits. For example:

rust bounded_integer! { struct MyInteger { 0..8 } } let num = MyInteger::new(5).unwrap(); assert_eq!(num, 5);

This macro supports both structs and enums. See the [examples] module for the documentation of generated types.

Const generics-based bounded integers

You can also create ad-hoc bounded integers via types in this library that use const generics, for example:

rust let num = <BoundedU8<0, 7>>::new(5).unwrap(); assert_eq!(num, 5);

These integers are shorter to use as they don't require a type declaration or explicit name, and they interoperate better with other integers that have different ranges. However due to the limits of const generics, they do not implement some traits like Default.

`no_std`

All the integers in this crate depend only on libcore and so work in #![no_std] environments.

Crate Features

By default, no crate features are enabled. - std: Interopate with std — implies alloc. Enables the following things: - An implementation of [Error] for [ParseError]. - alloc: Interopate with alloc. Enables the following things: - Support for indexing with the const-generic integers on Vec and VecDeque. - macro: Enable the [bounded_integer!] macro. - types: Enable the bounded integer types that use const generics. - arbitrary1: Implement [Arbitrary] for the bounded integers. This is useful when using bounded integers as fuzzing inputs. - bytemuck1: Implement [Contiguous] for all bounded integers, and [Zeroable] for macro-generated bounded integers that support it. - num-traits02: Implement [Bounded], [AsPrimitive], [FromPrimitive], [NumCast], [ToPrimitive], [CheckedAdd], [CheckedDiv], [CheckedMul], [CheckedNeg], [CheckedRem], [CheckedSub], [MulAdd], [SaturatingAdd], [SaturatingMul] and [SaturatingSub] for all const-generic bounded integers. - serde1: Implement [Serialize] and [Deserialize] for the bounded integers, making sure all values will never be out of bounds. This has a deprecated alias serde. - zerocopy06: Implement [AsBytes] and [Unaligned] for macro-generated bounded integers. We can't implement them for const generic bounded integers due to limitations in Zerocopy. - step_trait: Implement the [Step] trait which allows the bounded integers to be easily used in ranges. This will require you to use nightly and place #![feature(step_trait)] in your crate root if you use the macro.
