9 /// A marker trait that allows types that have some invalid bit patterns to be
10 /// used in places that otherwise require [`AnyBitPattern`] or [`Pod`] types by
11 /// performing a runtime check on a perticular set of bits. This is particularly
12 /// useful for types like fieldless ('C-style') enums, [`char`], bool, and
13 /// structs containing them.
14 ///
15 /// To do this, we define a `Bits` type which is a type with equivalent layout
16 /// to `Self` other than the invalid bit patterns which disallow `Self` from
17 /// being [`AnyBitPattern`]. This `Bits` type must itself implement
18 /// [`AnyBitPattern`]. Then, we implement a function that checks whether a
19 /// certain instance of the `Bits` is also a valid bit pattern of `Self`. If
20 /// this check passes, then we can allow casting from the `Bits` to `Self` (and
21 /// therefore, any type which is able to be cast to `Bits` is also able to be
22 /// cast to `Self`).
23 ///
24 /// [`AnyBitPattern`] is a subset of [`CheckedBitPattern`], meaning that any `T:
25 /// AnyBitPattern` is also [`CheckedBitPattern`]. This means you can also use
26 /// any [`AnyBitPattern`] type in the checked versions of casting functions in
27 /// this module. If it's possible, prefer implementing [`AnyBitPattern`] for
28 /// your type directly instead of [`CheckedBitPattern`] as it gives greater
29 /// flexibility.
30 ///
31 /// # Derive
32 ///
33 /// A `#[derive(CheckedBitPattern)]` macro is provided under the `derive`
34 /// feature flag which will automatically validate the requirements of this
35 /// trait and implement the trait for you for both enums and structs. This is
36 /// the recommended method for implementing the trait, however it's also
37 /// possible to do manually.
38 ///
39 /// # Example
40 ///
41 /// If manually implementing the trait, we can do something like so:
42 ///
43 /// ```rust
44 /// use bytemuck::{CheckedBitPattern, NoUninit};
45 ///
46 /// #[repr(u32)]
47 /// #[derive(Copy, Clone)]
48 /// enum MyEnum {
49 /// Variant0 = 0,
50 /// Variant1 = 1,
51 /// Variant2 = 2,
52 /// }
53 ///
54 /// unsafe impl CheckedBitPattern for MyEnum {
55 /// type Bits = u32;
56 ///
57 /// fn is_valid_bit_pattern(bits: &u32) -> bool {
58 /// match *bits {
59 /// 0 | 1 | 2 => true,
60 /// _ => false,
61 /// }
62 /// }
63 /// }
64 ///
65 /// // It is often useful to also implement `NoUninit` on our `CheckedBitPattern` types.
66 /// // This will allow us to do casting of mutable references (and mutable slices).
67 /// // It is not always possible to do so, but in this case we have no padding so it is.
68 /// unsafe impl NoUninit for MyEnum {}
69 /// ```
70 ///
71 /// We can now use relevant casting functions. For example,
72 ///
73 /// ```rust
74 /// # use bytemuck::{CheckedBitPattern, NoUninit};
75 /// # #[repr(u32)]
76 /// # #[derive(Copy, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Debug)]

84 /// # type Bits = u32;
85 /// # fn is_valid_bit_pattern(bits: &u32) -> bool {
86 /// # match *bits {
87 /// # 0 | 1 | 2 => true,
88 /// # _ => false,
89 /// # }
90 /// # }
91 /// # }
92 /// use bytemuck::{bytes_of, bytes_of_mut};
93 /// use bytemuck::checked;
94 ///
95 /// let bytes = bytes_of(&2u32);

100 /// let bytes = bytes_of(&100u32);
101 /// let result = checked::try_from_bytes::<MyEnum>(bytes);
102 /// assert!(result.is_err());
103 ///
104 /// // Since we implemented NoUninit, we can also cast mutably from an original type
105 /// // that is `NoUninit + AnyBitPattern`:
106 /// let mut my_u32 = 2u32;
107 /// {
