3/// A trait indicating that:
4///
5/// 1. A type has an equivalent representation to some known integral type.
6/// 2. All instances of this type fall in a fixed range of values.
7/// 3. Within that range, there are no gaps.
8///
9/// This is generally useful for fieldless enums (aka "c-style" enums), however
10/// it's important that it only be used for those with an explicit `#[repr]`, as
11/// `#[repr(Rust)]` fieldess enums have an unspecified layout.
12///
13/// Additionally, you shouldn't assume that all implementations are enums. Any
14/// type which meets the requirements above while following the rules under
15/// "Safety" below is valid.
16///
17/// # Example
18///
19/// ```
20/// # use bytemuck::Contiguous;
21/// #[repr(u8)]
22/// #[derive(Debug, Copy, Clone, PartialEq)]
23/// enum Foo {
24///   A = 0,
25///   B = 1,
26///   C = 2,
27///   D = 3,
28///   E = 4,
29/// }
30/// unsafe impl Contiguous for Foo {
31///   type Int = u8;
32///   const MIN_VALUE: u8 = Foo::A as u8;
33///   const MAX_VALUE: u8 = Foo::E as u8;
34/// }
35/// assert_eq!(Foo::from_integer(3).unwrap(), Foo::D);
36/// assert_eq!(Foo::from_integer(8), None);
37/// assert_eq!(Foo::C.into_integer(), 2);
38/// ```
39/// # Safety
40///
41/// This is an unsafe trait, and incorrectly implementing it is undefined
42/// behavior.
43///
44/// Informally, by implementing it, you're asserting that `C` is identical to
45/// the integral type `C::Int`, and that every `C` falls between `C::MIN_VALUE`
46/// and `C::MAX_VALUE` exactly once, without any gaps.
47///
48/// Precisely, the guarantees you must uphold when implementing `Contiguous` for
49/// some type `C` are:
50///
51/// 1. The sizeĀ of `C` and `C::Int` must be the same, and neither may be a ZST.
52///    (Note: alignment is explicitly allowed to differ)
53///
54/// 2. `C::Int` must be a primitive integer, and not a wrapper type. In the
55///    future, this may be lifted to include cases where the behavior is
56///    identical for a relevant set of traits (Ord, arithmetic, ...).
57///
58/// 3. All `C::Int`s which are in the *inclusive* range between `C::MIN_VALUE`
59///    and `C::MAX_VALUE` are bitwise identical to unique valid instances of
60///    `C`.
61///
62/// 4. There exist no instances of `C` such that their bitpatterns, when
63///    interpreted as instances of `C::Int`, fall outside of the `MAX_VALUE` /
64///    `MIN_VALUE` range -- It is legal for unsafe code to assume that if it
65///    gets a `C` that implements `Contiguous`, it is in the appropriate range.
66///
67/// 5. Finally, you promise not to provide overridden implementations of
68///    `Contiguous::from_integer` and `Contiguous::into_integer`.
69///
70/// For clarity, the following rules could be derived from the above, but are
71/// listed explicitly:
72///
73/// - `C::MAX_VALUE` must be greater or equal to `C::MIN_VALUE` (therefore, `C`
74///   must be an inhabited type).
75///
76/// - There exist no two values between `MIN_VALUE` and `MAX_VALUE` such that
77///   when interpreted as a `C` they are considered identical (by, say, match).
