3/// A trait which indicates that a type is a `#[repr(transparent)]` wrapper
4/// around the `Inner` value.
5///
6/// This allows safely copy transmuting between the `Inner` type and the
7/// `TransparentWrapper` type. Functions like `wrap_{}` convert from the inner
8/// type to the wrapper type and `peel_{}` functions do the inverse conversion
9/// from the wrapper type to the inner type. We deliberately do not call the
10/// wrapper-removing methods "unwrap" because at this point that word is too
11/// strongly tied to the Option/ Result methods.
12///
13/// # Safety
14///
15/// The safety contract of `TransparentWrapper` is relatively simple:
16///
17/// For a given `Wrapper` which implements `TransparentWrapper<Inner>`:
18///
19/// 1. `Wrapper` must be a wrapper around `Inner` with an identical data
20/// representations. This either means that it must be a
21/// `#[repr(transparent)]` struct which contains a either a field of type
22/// `Inner` (or a field of some other transparent wrapper for `Inner`) as
23/// the only non-ZST field.
24///
25/// 2. Any fields *other* than the `Inner` field must be trivially constructable
26/// ZSTs, for example `PhantomData`, `PhantomPinned`, etc. (When deriving
27/// `TransparentWrapper` on a type with ZST fields, the ZST fields must be
28/// [`Zeroable`]).
29///
30/// 3. The `Wrapper` may not impose additional alignment requirements over
31/// `Inner`.
32/// - Note: this is currently guaranteed by `repr(transparent)`, but there
33/// have been discussions of lifting it, so it's stated here explicitly.
34///
35/// 4. All functions on `TransparentWrapper` **may not** be overridden.
36///
37/// ## Caveats
38///
39/// If the wrapper imposes additional constraints upon the inner type which are
40/// required for safety, it's responsible for ensuring those still hold -- this
41/// generally requires preventing access to instances of the inner type, as
42/// implementing `TransparentWrapper<U> for T` means anybody can call
43/// `T::cast_ref(any_instance_of_u)`.
44///
45/// For example, it would be invalid to implement TransparentWrapper for `str`
46/// to implement `TransparentWrapper` around `[u8]` because of this.
47///
48/// # Examples
49///
50/// ## Basic
51///
52/// ```
53/// use bytemuck::TransparentWrapper;
54/// # #[derive(Default)]
55/// # struct SomeStruct(u32);
56///
57/// #[repr(transparent)]
58/// struct MyWrapper(SomeStruct);
59///
60/// unsafe impl TransparentWrapper<SomeStruct> for MyWrapper {}
61///
62/// // interpret a reference to &SomeStruct as a &MyWrapper
63/// let thing = SomeStruct::default();
64/// let inner_ref: &MyWrapper = MyWrapper::wrap_ref(&thing);
65///
66/// // Works with &mut too.
67/// let mut mut_thing = SomeStruct::default();
68/// let inner_mut: &mut MyWrapper = MyWrapper::wrap_mut(&mut mut_thing);
69///
70/// # let _ = (inner_ref, inner_mut); // silence warnings
71/// ```
72///
73/// ## Use with dynamically sized types
74///
75/// ```
76/// use bytemuck::TransparentWrapper;
77///
78/// #[repr(transparent)]
79/// struct Slice<T>([T]);
80///
81/// unsafe impl<T> TransparentWrapper<[T]> for Slice<T> {}
82///
83/// let s = Slice::wrap_ref(&[1u32, 2, 3]);
84/// assert_eq!(&s.0, &[1, 2, 3]);
85///
86/// let mut buf = [1, 2, 3u8];
87/// let sm = Slice::wrap_mut(&mut buf);
88/// ```
89///
90/// ## Deriving
91///
92/// When deriving, the non-wrapped fields must uphold all the normal
93/// requirements, and must also be `Zeroable`.
