bincode::encode_to_vec is incompatible with bincode::serde::encode_to_vec in standard configuration #613
Description
Using version 2.0.0-rc.2, the following code:
fn main() {
let array: [u8; 3] = [11, 12, 13];
let stdcfg = bincode::config::standard();
assert_eq!(
bincode::encode_to_vec(&array, stdcfg).unwrap(),
bincode::serde::encode_to_vec(&array, stdcfg).unwrap(),
);
}
Fails with:
thread 'main' panicked at 'assertion failed: `(left == right)`
left: `[3, 11, 12, 13]`,
right: `[11, 12, 13]`', src/main.rs:6:5
This means bincode::encode_to_vec isn't compatible with bincode::serde::encode_to_vec. This is highly surprising.
