//! Contains utility functions and traits to convert between vectors of [`u16`] bits and [`f16`] or //! [`bf16`] vectors. //! //! The utility [`HalfBitsVecExt`] sealed extension trait is implemented for [`Vec`] vectors, //! while the utility [`HalfFloatVecExt`] sealed extension trait is implemented for both //! [`Vec`] and [`Vec`] vectors. These traits provide efficient conversions and //! reinterpret casting of larger buffers of floating point values, and are automatically included //! in the [`prelude`][crate::prelude] module. //! //! This module is only available with the `std` or `alloc` feature. use super::{bf16, f16, slice::HalfFloatSliceExt}; #[cfg(feature = "alloc")] use alloc::vec::Vec; use core::mem; /// Extensions to [`Vec`] and [`Vec`] to support reinterpret operations. /// /// This trait is sealed and cannot be implemented outside of this crate. pub trait HalfFloatVecExt: private::SealedHalfFloatVec { /// Reinterprets a vector of [`f16`]or [`bf16`] numbers as a vector of [`u16`] bits. /// /// This is a zero-copy operation.
