Description
Feature gate: #![feature(integer_extend_truncate)]
This is a tracking issue for integer extension and truncation methods.
Public API
impl iX {
// `Target` is a signed integer with size >= Self
fn widen<Target>(self) -> Target
where Self: WidenTarget<Target>;
// `Target` is a signed integer with size <= Self
fn truncate<Target>(self) -> Target
where Self: TruncateTarget<Target>;
fn saturating_truncate<Target>(self) -> Target
where Self: TruncateTarget<Target>;
fn checked_truncate<Target>(self) -> Option<Target>
where Self: TruncateTarget<Target>;
}
impl uX {
// `Target` is an unsigned integer with size >= Self
fn widen<Target>(self) -> Target
where Self: WidenTarget<Target>;
// `Target` is an unsigned integer with size <= Self
fn truncate<Target>(self) -> Target
where Self: TruncateTarget<Target>;
fn saturating_truncate<Target>(self) -> Target
where Self: TruncateTarget<Target>;
fn checked_truncate<Target>(self) -> Option<Target>
where Self: TruncateTarget<Target>;
}
