numX

Non standard integer types like u122, u9, i67, u10, u63, i7, i9 etc

struct Packet {
    header: u3,
    timestamp: u5,
    hash: u4,
    mode: u2,
}

This is a fork of uX by kjetilkjeka

I have merely merged the pull requests on this fork and added features what would otherwise have been my pull request to him.

I am still a rust beginner. Examine this yourself before deciding to use it!

Features

When non-standard-width integers is required in an application, the norm is to use a larger container and make sure the value is within range after manipulation. numX aims to take care of this once and for all by:

• Providing u1-u127 and i1-i127 types that should behave as similar as possible to the built in rust types
  • The methods of the defined types are the same as for the built in types (far from all is implemented at this point but fill out an issue or create a PR if something essential for you is missing)
  • Overflow will panic in debug and wrap in release.
• All possible lossless conversions are possible by using From.
• All possible lossy conversions are possible by using TryFrom.
• Support for serde by serializing into the next bigger container.
• All possible conversions to isize and usize for the target architecture.
• Implementations of some num-traits.
