Given a pointer to an array of bytes, returns a value of the specified type backed by a copy of those bytes.

Prototype

pub fn bytesToValue(comptime T: type, bytes: anytype) T

Parameters

T: type

Example

 test bytesToValue {
    const deadbeef_bytes = switch (native_endian) {
        .big => "\xDE\xAD\xBE\xEF",
        .little => "\xEF\xBE\xAD\xDE",
    };

    const deadbeef = bytesToValue(u32, deadbeef_bytes);
    try testing.expect(deadbeef == @as(u32, 0xDEADBEEF));
}
