Expand description

Types for which some bit patterns are valid.

A memory region of the appropriate length which contains initialized bytes can be viewed as a TryFromBytes type so long as the runtime value of those bytes corresponds to a valid instance of that type. For example, bool is TryFromBytes, so zerocopy can transmute a u8 into a bool so long as it first checks that the value of the u8 is 0 or 1.

§Implementation

Do not implement this trait yourself! Instead, use #[derive(TryFromBytes)]; e.g.:

#[derive(TryFromBytes)]
struct MyStruct {
    ...
}

#[derive(TryFromBytes)]
#[repr(u8)]
enum MyEnum {
    ...
}

#[derive(TryFromBytes, Immutable)]
union MyUnion {
    ...
}

This derive ensures that the runtime check of whether bytes correspond to a valid instance is sound. You must implement this trait via the derive.

§What is a “valid instance”?

In Rust, each type has bit validity, which refers to the set of bit patterns which may appear in an instance of that type. It is impossible for safe Rust code to produce values which violate bit validity (ie, values outside of the “valid” set of bit patterns). If unsafe code produces an invalid value, this is considered undefined behavior.

Rust’s bit validity rules are currently being decided, which means that some types have three classes of bit patterns: those which are definitely valid, and whose validity is documented in the language; those which may or may not be considered valid at some point in the future; and those which are definitely invalid.

Zerocopy takes a conservative approach, and only considers a bit pattern to be valid if its validity is a documenteed guarantee provided by the language.

For most use cases, Rust’s current guarantees align with programmers’ intuitions about what ought to be valid. As a result, zerocopy’s conservatism should not affect most users.

If you are negatively affected by lack of support for a particular type, we encourage you to let us know by filing an issue.

§TryFromBytes is not symmetrical with IntoBytes

There are some types which implement both TryFromBytes and IntoBytes, but for which TryFromBytes is not guaranteed to accept all byte sequences produced by IntoBytes. In other words, for some T: TryFromBytes + IntoBytes, there exist values of t: T such that TryFromBytes::try_ref_from_bytes(t.as_bytes()) == None. Code should not generally assume that values produced by IntoBytes will necessarily be accepted as valid by TryFromBytes.

§Safety

On its own, T: TryFromBytes does not make any guarantees about the layout or representation of T. It merely provides the ability to perform a validity check at runtime via methods like try_ref_from_bytes.

You must not rely on the #[doc(hidden)] internals of TryFromBytes. Future releases of zerocopy may make backwards-breaking changes to these items, including changes that only affect soundness, which may cause code which uses those items to silently become unsound.

Provided Methods§

source

fn try_ref_from_bytes(source: &[u8]) -> Result<&Self, TryCastError<&[u8], Self>>
where Self: KnownLayout + Immutable,

Attempts to interpret the given source as a &Self.

If the bytes of source are a valid instance of Self, this method returns a reference to those bytes interpreted as a Self. If the length of source is not a valid size of Self, or if source is not appropriately aligned, or if source is not a valid instance of Self, this returns Err. If Self: Unaligned, you can infallibly discard the alignment error.

Self may be a sized type, a slice, or a slice DST.

§Compile-Time Assertions

This method cannot yet be used on unsized types whose dynamically-sized component is zero-sized. Attempting to use this method on such types results in a compile-time assertion error; e.g.:

use zerocopy::*;

#[derive(TryFromBytes, Immutable, KnownLayout)]
#[repr(C)]
struct ZSTy {
    leading_sized: u16,
    trailing_dst: [()],
}

let _ = ZSTy::try_ref_from_bytes(0u16.as_bytes()); // ⚠ Compile Error!
§Examples
use zerocopy::TryFromBytes;

// The only valid value of this type is the byte `0xC0`
#[derive(TryFromBytes, KnownLayout, Immutable)]
#[repr(u8)]
enum C0 { xC0 = 0xC0 }

// The only valid value of this type is the byte sequence `0xC0C0`.
#[derive(TryFromBytes, KnownLayout, Immutable)]
#[repr(C)]
struct C0C0(C0, C0);

#[derive(TryFromBytes, KnownLayout, Immutable)]
#[repr(C)]
struct Packet {
    magic_number: C0C0,
    mug_size: u8,
    temperature: u8,
    marshmallows: [[u8; 2]],
}

let bytes = &[0xC0, 0xC0, 240, 77, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5][..];

let packet = Packet::try_ref_from_bytes(bytes).unwrap();

assert_eq!(packet.mug_size, 240);
assert_eq!(packet.temperature, 77);
assert_eq!(packet.marshmallows, [[0, 1], [2, 3], [4, 5]]);

// These bytes are not valid instance of `Packet`.
let bytes = &[0x10, 0xC0, 240, 77, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5][..];
assert!(Packet::try_ref_from_bytes(bytes).is_err());
source

fn try_ref_from_prefix( source: &[u8], ) -> Result<(&Self, &[u8]), TryCastError<&[u8], Self>>
where Self: KnownLayout + Immutable,

Attempts to interpret the prefix of the given source as a &Self.

This method computes the largest possible size of Self that can fit in the leading bytes of source. If that prefix is a valid instance of Self, this method returns a reference to those bytes interpreted as Self, and a reference to the remaining bytes. If there are insufficient bytes, or if source is not appropriately aligned, or if those bytes are not a valid instance of Self, this returns Err. If Self: Unaligned, you can infallibly discard the alignment error.

Self may be a sized type, a slice, or a slice DST.

source

fn try_ref_from_suffix( source: &[u8], ) -> Result<(&[u8], &Self), TryCastError<&[u8], Self>>
where Self: KnownLayout + Immutable,

Attempts to interpret the suffix of the given source as a &Self.

This method computes the largest possible size of Self that can fit in the trailing bytes of source. If that suffix is a valid instance of Self, this method returns a reference to those bytes interpreted as Self, and a reference to the preceding bytes. If there are insufficient bytes, or if the suffix of source would not be appropriately aligned, or if the suffix is not a valid instance of Self, this returns Err. If Self: Unaligned, you can infallibly discard the alignment error.

Self may be a sized type, a slice, or a slice DST.

fn try_mut_from_bytes( bytes: &mut [u8], ) -> Result<&mut Self, TryCastError<&mut [u8], Self>>
where Self: KnownLayout,

Attempts to interpret the given source as a &mut Self without copying.

fn try_mut_from_bytes_with_elems( source: &mut [u8], count: usize, ) -> Result<&mut Self, TryCastError<&mut [u8], Self>>
where Self: KnownLayout<PointerMetadata = usize>,

Attempts to interpret the given source as a &mut Self with a DST length equal to count.

This method attempts to return a reference to source interpreted as a Self with count trailing elements. If the length of source is not equal to the size of Self with count elements, if source is not appropriately aligned, or if source does not contain a valid instance of Self, this returns Err. If Self: Unaligned, you can infallibly discard the alignment error.

Attempts to interpret the prefix of the given source as a &mut Self with a DST length equal to count.

This method attempts to return a reference to the prefix of source interpreted as a Self with count trailing elements, and a reference to the remaining bytes. If the length of source is less than the size of Self with count elements, if source is not appropriately aligned, or if the prefix of source does not contain a valid instance of Self, this returns Err.

Attempts to interpret the suffix of the given source as a &mut Self with a DST length equal to count.

This method attempts to return a reference to the suffix of source interpreted as a Self with count trailing elements, and a reference to the preceding bytes. If the length of source is less than the size of Self with count elements, if the suffix of source is not appropriately aligned, or if the suffix of source does not contain a valid instance of Self, this returns Err.
