uint-crate

Description

Provides facilities to construct big unsigned integer types which use no allocations (stack-based, fixed bit length). If you want to use a predefined U128, U256 or U512 type, take a look at the tetsy-primitive-types or vapory-types crate.

The focus on the provided big unsigned integer types is performance and cross-platform availability. Support a very similar API as the built-in primitive integer types.

Usage

In your Cargo.toml paste

uint = "0.9.0"

Import the macro

use uint_crate::construct_uint;

If you're using pre-edition Rust in your main file

#[macro_use]
extern crate uint_crate;

Construct your own big unsigned integer type as follows.

// U1024 with 1024 bits consisting of 16 x 64-bit words
construct_uint! {
	pub struct U1024(16);
}

Crate Features

• std: Use Rust's standard library.
  • Enables byteorder/std, rustc-hex/std
  • Enabled by default.
• quickcheck: Enable quickcheck-style property testing
  • Use with cargo test --release --features=quickcheck.
• arbitrary: Allow for creation of an uint object from random unstructured input for use with fuzzers that use the arbitrary crate.
  • Disabled by default.
