// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 //! Helpers for performing lossless integer casts. //! //! The `as` keyword can be used to perform casts between integer types, but it unfortunately makes //! no distinction between casts that are lossless, and casts from a larger type into a smaller one //! that might silently strip data away. Thus, its use in the kernel is discouraged in favor of //! [`From`] implementations. //! //! Conversely, there are casts that are lossless depending on the build architecture (such as //! casting [`usize`] to [`u64`] on 32 or 64 bit archs), but not supported by [`From`] //! implementations in the standard library because they are not portable. It does however make //! sense for the kernel to support these, if only for code that is architecture-specific. //! //! This module provides ways to perform such conversions safely: //! //! - A series of const functions (e.g. [`usize_as_u64`]) supporting safe conversions in const //! context. Conversions supported by [`From`] implementations in the standard library are also //! covered as the [`From`] trait cannot be used in const context. //! - Two extension traits, [`FromSafeCast`] and [`IntoSafeCast`], providing conversion methods //! similar to [`From`] and [`Into`] for conversions that are safe to perform in the kernel, but //! not supported by the standard library. //! - Another series of const functions (e.g. [`u64_into_u8`]) supporting the conversion of a const //! value from a larger type into a smaller one, provided the value fits into the destination //! type. This is useful if a constant is defined as a larger type, but needs to be used as a //! smaller one. //! - An [`arch`] sub-module, defining more conversion functions that are only guaranteed to be //! lossless for a given pointer size. These can only be used in code that is specific to a //! given pointer size. //! //! # Examples //! //! ``` //! use kernel::num::casts::{self, FromSafeCast, IntoSafeCast}; //! //! // Conversion from const context. //! const USIZED_CONST: usize = casts::u8_as_usize(255u8); //! //! // Non-const conversions. //! let a = u64::from_safe_cast(4096usize); //! let b: u64 = 4096usize.into_safe_cast(); //! ``` use crate::prelude::*; /// Implements safe `as` conversion functions from a given type into a series of target types. /// /// These functions can be used in place of `as`, with the guarantee that they will be lossless. macro_rules! impl_safe_as { ($from:ty as { $($into:ty),* }) => { $( $crate::macros::paste! { #[doc = ::core::concat!( "Losslessly converts a [`", ::core::stringify!($from), "`] into a [`", ::core::stringify!($into), "`].")] /// /// This conversion is allowed as it is always lossless.
