Additional Pwrite buffers for use with Scroll.
Docs are available at docs.rs.
Since Scroll's writing traits are generic over their destination buffer, if you find the default mutable byte slice too restrictive, you can use the types in this crate for more powerful features like dynamic allocation.
Currently, this crate only defines one such buffer: the DynamicBuffer type, which
grows on-demand when writing types into it.
Add to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
scroll-buffer = "0.3.2"You can now change your TryIntoCtx implementations and start writing!
use scroll::{LE, Pwrite, ctx::TryIntoCtx};
use scroll_buffer::DynamicBuffer;
fn main() -> Result<(), scroll::Error> {
let mut buf = DynamicBuffer::new();
// works with regular ints, of course...
buf.pwrite_with(0xbeefu16, 0, LE)?;
assert_eq!(buf.get(), [0xef, 0xbe]);
// ...but also custom types!
struct MyCoolStruct(bool, u32);
impl TryIntoCtx<(), DynamicBuffer> for MyCoolStruct {
type Error = scroll::Error;
fn try_into_ctx(self, buf: &mut DynamicBuffer, _: ()) -> Result<usize, Self::Error> {
let offset = &mut 0;
if self.0 {
buf.gwrite_with(0xffu8, offset, LE)?;
} else {
buf.gwrite_with(self.1, offset, LE)?;
}
Ok(*offset)
}
}
buf.clear();
buf.pwrite(MyCoolStruct(false, 1), 0)?;
assert_eq!(buf.get(), [0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00]);
buf.pwrite(MyCoolStruct(true, 0), 4)?;
assert_eq!(buf.get(), [0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xff]);
Ok(())
