}Expand description
Trait for converting raw bytes to/from the internal representation of a type. For example, field elements are represented in Montgomery form and serialized/deserialized without Montgomery reduction.
Required Methods§
Sourcefn from_raw_bytes_unchecked(bytes: &[u8]) -> Self
fn from_raw_bytes_unchecked(bytes: &[u8]) -> Self
The purpose of unchecked functions is to read the internal memory representation of a type from bytes as quickly as possible. No sanitization checks are performed to ensure the bytes represent a valid object. As such this function should only be used internally as an extension of machine memory. It should not be used to deserialize externally provided data.
fn from_raw_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> Option<Self>
fn to_raw_bytes(&self) -> Vec<u8>
Sourcefn read_raw_unchecked<R: Read>(reader: &mut R) -> Self
fn read_raw_unchecked<R: Read>(reader: &mut R) -> Self
The purpose of unchecked functions is to read the internal memory representation of a type from disk as quickly as possible. No sanitization checks are performed to ensure the bytes represent a valid object. This function should only be used internally when some machine state cannot be kept in memory (e.g., between runs) and needs to be reloaded as quickly as possible.
fn read_raw<R: Read>(reader: &mut R) -> Result<Self>
fn write_raw<W: Write>(&self, writer: &mut W) -> Result<()>
Dyn Compatibility§
This trait is not dyn compatible.
In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
