count of iterator items used to store the destination type.
deep element type of the result slice.
a contiguous or canonical slice.
A bytegroup slice.
24 bit integers
import mir.ndslice.slice: DeepElementType, sliced; ubyte[20] data; // creates a packed unsigned integer slice with max allowed value equal to `2^^6 - 1 == 63`. auto int24ar = data[].bytegroup!(3, int); // 24 bit integers assert(int24ar.length == data.length / 3); enum checkInt = ((1 << 20) - 1); int24ar[3] = checkInt; assert(int24ar[3] == checkInt); int24ar.popFront; assert(int24ar[2] == checkInt); static assert(is(DeepElementType!(typeof(int24ar)) == int));
48 bit integers
import mir.ndslice.slice: DeepElementType, sliced; ushort[20] data; // creates a packed unsigned integer slice with max allowed value equal to `2^^6 - 1 == 63`. auto int48ar = data[].sliced.bytegroup!(3, long); // 48 bit integers assert(int48ar.length == data.length / 3); enum checkInt = ((1L << 44) - 1); int48ar[3] = checkInt; assert(int48ar[3] == checkInt); int48ar.popFront; assert(int48ar[2] == checkInt); static assert(is(DeepElementType!(typeof(int48ar)) == long));
Bytegroup slice over an integral slice.
Groups existing slice into fixed length chunks and uses them as data store for destination type.
Correctly handles scalar types on both little-endian and big-endian platforms.
