}Expand description
Equivalent of the Rust core library’s
SliceIndex type for process slices. This helper
trait is used to abstract over indexing operators into process slices, and
is used to “overload” the .get() methods such that it can be called with
multiple different indexing operators.
While we can use the core library’s SliceIndex trait, parameterized over
our own ProcessSlice types, this trait includes mandatory methods that are
undesirable for the process buffer infrastructure, such as unchecked or
mutable index operations. Furthermore, implementing it requires the
slice_index_methods nightly feature. Thus we vendor our own, small variant
of this trait.
