This crate allows reading bytes representation of structs even in presence of padding bytes.

crates docs License License

Simply derive SafeBytes for structures where all field types are SafeBytes implementations. And SafeBytes::safe_bytes would initialize all padding bytes before returning &[u8]. All primitives implement SafeBytes as there is no padding bytes. Additionally some std types implement SafeBytes.

Note that in order to initialize padding bytes SafeBytes::safe_bytes takes mutable reference &mut self. And returns shareable reference &[u8] because not all bitpatterns may be allowed for the type.
