Non standard integer types like
u122,u9,i67,u10,u63,i7,i9etc
rust
struct Packet {
header: u3,
timestamp: u5,
hash: u4,
mode: u2,
}
I have merely merged the pull requests on this fork and added features what would otherwise have been my pull request to him.
I am still a rust beginner. Examine this yourself before deciding to use it!
When non-standard-width integers is required in an application, the norm is to use a larger container and make sure the value is within range after manipulation.
numX aims to take care of this once and for all by:
- Providing u1-u127 and i1-i127 types that should behave as similar as possible to the built in rust types
- The methods of the defined types are the same as for the built in types (far from all is implemented at this point but fill out an issue or create a PR if something essential for you is missing)
- Overflow will panic in debug and wrap in release.
- All possible lossless conversions are possible by using From.
- All possible lossy conversions are possible by using TryFrom.
- Support for serde by serializing into the next bigger container.
- All possible conversions to isize and usize for the target architecture.
- Implementations of some num-traits.
Thank to all the contributors from the original project and to the people who sent the pull requests that I merged: - adamnemecek - Atul Bhosale - Kevin Boos - Angelo Bulfone - meh
