slice-cast

This Rust library provides support for performing cast operations on slices.

The cast() and cast_mut() functions perform casts between slice types:

```rust extern crate slice_cast;

fn main() { let foo: [u8; 4] = [1, 0, 0, 0]; let bar: &[u32] = unsafe { slice_cast::cast(&foo) }; println!("{:?}", bar); } ```

The cast_to() and cast_to_mut() functions perform casts from slices into concrete types:

```rust extern crate slice_cast;

fn main() { let foo: [u8; 4] = [1, 0, 0, 0]; let bar: &u32 = unsafe { slicecast::castto(&foo) }; println!("{}", bar); } ```

Usage

Add the following line to your [dependencies] in Cargo.toml:

toml slice-cast = "0.1"

And add the following line to your crate root:

rust extern crate slice_cast;
