}Expand description
Trait for converting raw bytes to/from the internal representation of a type. For example, field elements are represented in Montgomery form and serialized/deserialized without Montgomery reduction.
Required Methods
sourcefn from_raw_bytes_unchecked(bytes: &[u8]) -> Self
fn from_raw_bytes_unchecked(bytes: &[u8]) -> Self
The purpose of unchecked functions is to read the internal memory representation of a type from bytes as quickly as possible. No sanitization checks are performed to ensure the bytes represent a valid object. As such this function should only be used internally as an extension of machine memory. It should not be used to deserialize externally provided data.
fn from_raw_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> Option<Self>
fn to_raw_bytes(&self) -> Vec<u8>
sourcefn read_raw_unchecked<R: Read>(reader: &mut R) -> Self
fn read_raw_unchecked<R: Read>(reader: &mut R) -> Self
The purpose of unchecked functions is to read the internal memory representation of a type from disk as quickly as possible. No sanitization checks are performed to ensure the bytes represent a valid object. This function should only be used internally when some machine state cannot be kept in memory (e.g., between runs) and needs to be reloaded as quickly as possible.
