Trait HasByteRepresentation 

pub trait HasByteRepresentation {
    const REPR_NUM_BYTES: usize;

    // Required methods
    fn from_bytes_le(bytes: &[u8]) -> Self;
    fn to_bytes_le(&self) -> Vec<u8> ;
    fn to_u64s_le(&self) -> Vec<u64>;
    fn from_u64s_le(words: Vec<u64>) -> Self
       where Self: Sized;
    fn vec_from_bytes_le(bytes: &[u8]) -> Vec<Self>
       where Self: Sized;
}

Simple trait which allows us to convert to and from a little-endian byte representation.

Required Associated Constants

const REPR_NUM_BYTES: usize

Number of bytes within the element’s representation.

Required Methods

fn from_bytes_le(bytes: &[u8]) -> Self

Constructor which creates an instance of the element from a vec of less than or equal to length REPR_NUM_BYTES. If length less than REPR_NUM_BYTES, pads the most significant bits with 0s until it is of equal length to REPR_NUM_BYTES.

fn to_bytes_le(&self) -> Vec<u8>

Function which creates an equivalent representation of the element in a byte array of length REPR_NUM_BYTES.

fn to_u64s_le(&self) -> Vec<u64>

Similar to to_bytes_le but returns chunks of u64s.

fn from_u64s_le(words: Vec<u64>) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Similar to from_bytes_le but takes chunks of u64s.

fn vec_from_bytes_le(bytes: &[u8]) -> Vec<Self>

where Self: Sized,

Creates a Vec of elements from an arbitrary string of bytes.

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.
