pub fn try_cast<A: NoUninit, B: CheckedBitPattern>(
a: A
) -> Result<B, CheckedCastError>
Expand description
Try to cast T
into U
.
Note that for this particular type of cast, alignment isn’t a factor. The input value is semantically copied into the function and then returned to a new memory location which will have whatever the required alignment of the output type is.
Failure
- If the types don’t have the same size this fails.
- If
a
contains an invalid bit pattern forB
this fails.
