🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (transmutability)

Available on crate feature mtls only.

Marks that Src is transmutable into Self.

Implementation

This trait cannot be implemented explicitly. It is implemented on-the-fly by the compiler for all types Src and Self such that, given a set of safety obligations on the programmer (see Assume), the compiler has proved that the bits of a value of type Src can be soundly reinterpreted as a Self.

Safety

If Dst: TransmuteFrom<Src, ASSUMPTIONS>, the compiler guarantees that Src is soundly union-transmutable into a value of type Dst, provided that the programmer has guaranteed that the given ASSUMPTIONS are satisfied.

A union-transmute is any bit-reinterpretation conversion in the form of:

pub unsafe fn transmute_via_union<Src, Dst>(src: Src) -> Dst {
    use core::mem::ManuallyDrop;

    #[repr(C)]
    union Transmute<Src, Dst> {
        src: ManuallyDrop<Src>,
        dst: ManuallyDrop<Dst>,
    }

    let transmute = Transmute {
        src: ManuallyDrop::new(src),
    };

    let dst = transmute.dst;

    ManuallyDrop::into_inner(dst)
}

Note that this construction is more permissive than mem::transmute_copy; union-transmutes permit conversions that extend the bits of Src with trailing padding to fill trailing uninitialized bytes of Self; e.g.:

#![feature(transmutability)]

use core::mem::{Assume, TransmuteFrom};

let src = 42u8; // size = 1

#[repr(C, align(2))]
struct Dst(u8); // size = 2
let _ = unsafe {
    <Dst as TransmuteFrom<u8, { Assume::SAFETY }>>::transmute(src)
};

Caveats

Portability

Implementations of this trait do not provide any guarantee of portability across toolchains, targets or compilations. This trait may be implemented for certain combinations of Src, Self and ASSUME on some toolchains, targets or compilations, but not others. For example, if the layouts of Src or Self are non-deterministic, the presence or absence of an implementation of this trait may also be non-deterministic. Even if Src and Self have deterministic layouts (e.g., they are repr(C) structs), Rust does not specify the alignments of its primitive integer types, and layouts that involve these types may vary across toolchains, targets or compilations.

Stability

Implementations of this trait do not provide any guarantee of SemVer stability across the crate versions that define the Src and Self types. If SemVer stability is crucial to your application, you must consult the documentation of Src and Selfs’ defining crates. Note that the presence of repr(C), alone, does not carry a safety invariant of SemVer stability. Furthermore, stability does not imply portability. For example, the size of usize is stable, but not portable.

Provided Methods

unsafe fn transmute(src: Src) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (transmutability)

Transmutes a Src value into a Self.

Safety

The safety obligations of the caller depend on the value of ASSUME:

• If ASSUME.alignment, the caller must guarantee that the addresses of references in the returned Self satisfy the alignment requirements of their referent types.
• If ASSUME.lifetimes, the caller must guarantee that references in the returned Self will not outlive their referents.
• If ASSUME.safety, the returned value might not satisfy the library safety invariants of Self, and the caller must guarantee that undefined behavior does not arise from uses of the returned value.
• If ASSUME.validity, the caller must guarantee that src is a bit-valid instance of Self.

When satisfying the above obligations (if any), the caller must not assume that this trait provides any inherent guarantee of layout portability or stability.
