Trait ToBytes
pub trait ToBytes {
// Required methods
fn binary_size(&self) -> usize;
fn write<W>(&self, writer: W) -> Result<(), Error>
where W: Write;
fn default_repr() -> impl ToBytes;
}Expand description
Convert a field to binary representation
Required Methods§
fn binary_size(&self) -> usize
fn binary_size(&self) -> usize
Return the number of bytes needed to store the field
fn write<W>(&self, writer: W) -> Result<(), Error>where
W: Write,
fn write<W>(&self, writer: W) -> Result<(), Error>where
W: Write,
Write the binary representation to writer
fn default_repr() -> impl ToBytes
fn default_repr() -> impl ToBytes
Return the default representation for the field type
Note: this does not need to be the same type as the implementing type.
For example, an empty C-style string can be represented e.g. by returning 0u8.
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.
