In many scenarios it is desirable to use abstract traits, such as
Buf
andBufMut
in one's API, rather than explicitly useBytes
andBytesMut
(let alone bare&[u8]
or&mut [u8]
).In encoding/decoding scenarios an also rather common requirement is to be able to obtain the length of a buffer. Unfortunately neither
Buf
norBufMut
provide afn len(&self) -> usize
method to do so.This PR aims to fill this gap without introducing a breaking change by adding a
ExactSizeBuf
trait alongside several implementations for types provided by this crate.
