Trait that implements the Compact codec.

When deriving the trait for custom structs, be aware of certain limitations/recommendations:

• Works best with structs that only have native types (eg. u64, B256, U256).
• Fixed array types (B256, Address, Bloom) are not compacted.
• Max size of T in Option<T> or Vec<T> shouldn’t exceed 0xffff.
• Any Bytes field should be placed last.
• Any other type which is not known to the derive module should be placed last in they contain a Bytes field.

The last two points make it easier to decode the data without saving the length on the StructFlags. It will fail compilation if it’s not respected. If they’re alias to known types, add their definitions to get_bit_size() or known_types in generator.rs.

Regarding the specialized_to/from_compact methods: Mainly used as a workaround for not being able to specialize an impl over certain types like Vec<T>/Option<T> where T is a fixed size array like Vec<B256>.

Caution

Due to the bitfields, every type change on the rust type (e.g. U256 to u64) is a breaking change and will lead to a new, incompatible Compact implementation. Implementers must take special care when changing or rearranging fields.

Required Methods

fn to_compact<B>(&self, buf: &mut B) -> usize

where B: BufMut + AsMut<[u8]>,

Takes a buffer which can be written to. Ideally, it returns the length written to.

fn from_compact(buf: &[u8], len: usize) -> (Self, &[u8])

Takes a buffer which can be read from. Returns the object and buf with its internal cursor advanced (eg..advance(len)).

len can either be the buf remaining length, or the length of the compacted type.

It will panic, if len is smaller than buf.len().

Provided Methods

fn specialized_to_compact<B>(&self, buf: &mut B) -> usize

where B: BufMut + AsMut<[u8]>,

“Optional”: If there’s no good reason to use it, don’t.

fn specialized_from_compact(buf: &[u8], len: usize) -> (Self, &[u8])

“Optional”: If there’s no good reason to use it, don’t.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.

Implementations on Foreign Types

impl Compact for bool

fn to_compact<B>(&self, _: &mut B) -> usize

where B: BufMut + AsMut<[u8]>,

bool vars go directly to the StructFlags and are not written to the buffer.

fn from_compact(buf: &[u8], len: usize) -> (Self, &[u8])

bool expects the real value to come in len, and does not advance the cursor.
