Function u8_as_u64 

pub const fn u8_as_u64(value: u8) -> u64

Losslessly converts a u8 into a u64.

This conversion is allowed as it is always lossless. Prefer this over the as keyword to ensure no lossy casts are performed.

This is for use from a const context. For non const use, prefer the FromSafeCast and IntoSafeCast traits.

Examples

use kernel::num::casts;

assert_eq!(casts::u8_as_u64(1u8), 1u64);
