Function write_unaligned
pub unsafe fn write_unaligned<T, O>(dst: BitPtr<Mut, T, O>, value: bool)👎Deprecated:
BitPtr does not have unaligned addressesExpand description
§Single-Bit Unaligned Write
This writes a bit into dst directly. It uses compiler intrinsics to tolerate
an unaligned T address. However, because BitPtr has a type invariant that
addresses are always well-aligned (and non-null), this has no benefit or
purpose.
§Original
§Safety
dstmust be valid to writedstmust be properly aligned. This is an invariant of theBitPtrtype as well as of the memory access.
Additionally, dst must point to an initialized value of T. Integers cannot
be initialized one bit at a time.
§Behavior
This is required to perform a read/modify/write cycle on the memory location. LLVM may or may not emit a bit-write instruction on targets that have them in the ISA, but this is not specified in any way.
§Examples
use bitvec::prelude::*;
use bitvec::ptr as bv_ptr;
let mut data = 0u8;
let ptr = BitPtr::<_, _, Lsb0>::from_mut(&mut data);
unsafe { bv_ptr::write_unaligned(ptr.add(2), true); }
assert_eq!(data, 4);
