Struct bytes::buf::UninitSlice

#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct UninitSlice(_);

Uninitialized byte slice.

Returned by BufMut::chunk_mut(), the referenced byte slice may be uninitialized. The wrapper provides safe access without introducing undefined behavior.

The safety invariants of this wrapper are:

1. Reading from an UninitSlice is undefined behavior.
2. Writing uninitialized bytes to an UninitSlice is undefined behavior.

The difference between &mut UninitSlice and &mut [MaybeUninit<u8>] is that it is possible in safe code to write uninitialized bytes to an &mut [MaybeUninit<u8>], which this type prohibits.

Implementations

impl UninitSlice

pub unsafe fn from_raw_parts_mut<'a>(
    ptr: *mut u8,
    len: usize
) -> &'a mut UninitSlice

Create a &mut UninitSlice from a pointer and a length.

Safety

The caller must ensure that ptr references a valid memory region owned by the caller representing a byte slice for the duration of 'a.

Examples

use bytes::buf::UninitSlice;

let bytes = b"hello world".to_vec();
let ptr = bytes.as_ptr() as *mut _;
let len = bytes.len();

let slice = unsafe { UninitSlice::from_raw_parts_mut(ptr, len) };

pub fn write_byte(&mut self, index: usize, byte: u8)

Write a single byte at the specified offset.

Panics

The function panics if index is out of bounds.

Examples

use bytes::buf::UninitSlice;

let mut data = [b'f', b'o', b'o'];
let slice = unsafe { UninitSlice::from_raw_parts_mut(data.as_mut_ptr(), 3) };

slice.write_byte(0, b'b');

assert_eq!(b"boo", &data[..]);

pub fn copy_from_slice(&mut self, src: &[u8])

Copies bytes from src into self.

The length of src must be the same as self.

Panics

The function panics if src has a different length than self.

Examples

use bytes::buf::UninitSlice;

let mut data = [b'f', b'o', b'o'];
let slice = unsafe { UninitSlice::from_raw_parts_mut(data.as_mut_ptr(), 3) };

slice.copy_from_slice(b"bar");

assert_eq!(b"bar", &data[..]);

pub fn as_mut_ptr(&mut self) -> *mut u8

Return a raw pointer to the slice’s buffer.

Safety

The caller must not read from the referenced memory and must not write uninitialized bytes to the slice either.

Examples

use bytes::BufMut;

let mut data = [0, 1, 2];
let mut slice = &mut data[..];
let ptr = BufMut::chunk_mut(&mut slice).as_mut_ptr();

pub unsafe fn as_uninit_slice_mut<'a>(&'a mut self) -> &'a mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]

Return a &mut [MaybeUninit<u8>] to this slice’s buffer.

Safety

The caller must not read from the referenced memory and must not write uninitialized bytes to the slice either. This is because BufMut implementation that created the UninitSlice knows which parts are initialized. Writing uninitalized bytes to the slice may cause the BufMut to read those bytes and trigger undefined behavior.

Examples

use bytes::BufMut;

let mut data = [0, 1, 2];
let mut slice = &mut data[..];
unsafe {
    let uninit_slice = BufMut::chunk_mut(&mut slice).as_uninit_slice_mut();
};

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of bytes in the slice.

Examples

use bytes::BufMut;

let mut data = [0, 1, 2];
let mut slice = &mut data[..];
let len = BufMut::chunk_mut(&mut slice).len();

assert_eq!(len, 3);
