nonmax provides types similar to the std NonZero* types, but instead requires that their values are not the maximum for their type. This ensures that Option<NonMax*> is no larger than NonMax*.

nonmax supports every type that has a corresponding non-zero variant in the standard library:

• NonMaxI8
• NonMaxI16
• NonMaxI32
• NonMaxI64
• NonMaxI128
• NonMaxIsize
• NonMaxU8
• NonMaxU16
• NonMaxU32
• NonMaxU64
• NonMaxU128
• NonMaxUsize

use nonmax::{NonMaxI16, NonMaxU8};

let value = NonMaxU8::new(16).expect("16 should definitely fit in a u8");
assert_eq!(value.get(), 16);
assert_eq!(std::mem::size_of_val(&value), 1);

let signed = NonMaxI16::new(i16::min_value()).expect("minimum values are fine");
assert_eq!(signed.get(), i16::min_value());
assert_eq!(std::mem::size_of_val(&signed), 2);

let oops = NonMaxU8::new(255);
assert_eq!(oops, None);

• std (default): implements [std::error::Error] for [ParseIntError] and [TryFromIntError]. Disable this feature for #![no_std] support.

• serde: implements the Serialize and Deserialize traits from serde.

nonmax supports Rust 1.83.0 and newer. Until this library reaches 1.0, changes to the MSRV will require major version bumps. After 1.0, MSRV changes will only require minor version bumps, but will need significant justification.
