A binary serialization / deserialization strategy for transforming structs into bytes and vice versa!
bincode 1.3.3 (final serde-based release): three findings — medium memory-exhaustion vector via default deserialize options on untrusted input (mitigate with .with_limit(N)), medium unmaintained status (development ceased 2025), low 2015-era unsafe pointer-cast idioms in vendored byteorder.rs. Six unsafe blocks, all sound. Safe to deploy for trusted input or with explicit limits.
