Expand description
Generates a unsafe fn unchecked_transmute_from(number: Primitive) -> Self
associated function.
§Allows unsafely turning a primitive into an enum with unchecked_transmute_from
If you’re really certain a conversion will succeed, and want to avoid a small amount of overhead, you can use unsafe
code to do this conversion. Unless you have data showing that the match statement generated in the try_from
above is a
bottleneck for you, you should avoid doing this, as the unsafe code has potential to cause serious memory issues in
your program.
Note that this derive ignores any default
, catch_all
, and alternatives
attributes on the enum.
If you need support for conversions from these values, you should use TryFromPrimitive
or FromPrimitive
.
