uintx vs arbitrary-int vs bitbybit
Side-by-side comparison of Rust crates
45
uintx
growingv0.1.0
Unaligned unsigned integers with exact size in memory and arithmetic operations for them
69
arbitrary-int
stablev2.1.1
Modern and lightweight implementation of u2, u3, u4, ..., u127.
65
bitbybit
stablev2.0.0
Efficient implementation of bit-fields where several numbers are packed within a larger number and bit-enums. Useful for drivers, so it works in no_std environments
