I have a array of type [u8; 32] and I want to split it into [[u8; 16]; 2]]. What would be the most ergonomic way to do it? I'm just introducing a transmute for now.
const fn split(x: [u8; 32]) -> [[u8; 16]; 2] {
let mut a = [0;16];
let mut b = [0;16];
let mut i = 0;
while i < 16 {
a[i] = x[i];
b[i] = x[i+16];
i += 1;
}
[a,b]
}
Or, on nightly:
#![feature(generic_const_exprs)]
const fn split<const N:usize, const M:usize>(x: [u8; N*M]) -> [[u8; N]; M] {
let mut out = [[0;N];M];
let mut i = 0;
while i < N {
let mut j=0;
while j < M {
out[j][i] = x[i+j*N];
j += 1;
}
i += 1;
}
out
}
