safe-bytes

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

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.
