# Bit View Adapters
|
|
|
|
This module provides extension traits that view ordinary memory as
|
|
bit-addressable.
|
|
|
|
The [`&BitSlice`][0] type is a reference view over memory managed elsewhere. The
|
|
inherent constructors are awkward to call, as they require function syntax and
|
|
a redundant type argument (the `T: BitStore` parameter is already known by the
|
|
data being viewed). As an alternative, the [`BitView`] trait provides methods
|
|
on `BitStore` scalars and arrays that are more convenient to create `BitSlice`
|
|
reference views.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, [`BitViewSized`], [`AsBits`], and [`AsMutBits`] inform the type
|
|
system about types that can be used as [`BitArray`] storage, immutably viewed as
|
|
bits, or mutably viewed as bits, respectively.
