Remove the old path.
Rename path2 to path.
Update all clients for the new path.
Also make some miscellaneous changes to the Path APIs to help the
adoption process.
A SendStr is a string that can hold either a ~str or a &'static str.
This can be useful as an optimization when an allocation is sometimes needed but the common case is statically known.
Possible use cases include Maps with both static and owned keys, or propagating error messages across task boundaries.
SendStr implements most basic traits in a way that hides the fact that it is an enum; in particular things like order and equality are only determined by the content of the wrapped strings.
Replaced std::rt:logging::SendableString with SendStr
Added tests for using an SendStr as key in Hash- and Treemaps
The trait will keep the `Iterator` naming, but a more concise module
name makes using the free functions less verbose. The module will define
iterables in addition to iterators, as it deals with iteration in
general.
Address discussion with acrichto; inherit DoubleEndedIterator so that
`.rposition()` can be a default method, and that the nische of the trait
is clear. Use assertions when using `.size_hint()` in reverse enumerate
and `.rposition()`
This is a generalization of the vector .rposition() method, to all
double-ended iterators that have the ExactSizeHint trait.
This resolves the slight asymmetry around `position` and `rposition`
* position from front is `vec.iter().position()`
* position from the back was, `vec.rposition()` is now `vec.iter().rposition()`
Additionally, other indexed sequences (only `extra::ringbuf` I think),
will have the same method available once it implements ExactSizeHint.
Use Eq + Ord for lexicographical ordering of sequences.
For each of <, <=, >= or > as R, use::
[x, ..xs] R [y, ..ys] = if x != y { x R y } else { xs R ys }
Previous code using `a < b` and then `!(b < a)` for short-circuiting
fails on cases such as [1.0, 2.0] < [0.0/0.0, 3.0], where the first
element was effectively considered equal.
Containers like &[T] did also implement only one comparison operator `<`,
and derived the comparison results from this. This isn't correct either for
Ord.
Implement functions in `std::iterator::order::{lt,le,gt,ge,equal,cmp}` that all
iterable containers can use for lexical order.
We also visit tuple ordering, having the same problem and same solution
(but differing implementation).
Fixes most of #4989. I didn't add Persistent{Set,Map} since the only
persistent data structure is fun_treemap and its functionality is
currently too limited to build a trait out of.
I think it's WIP - but I wanted to ask for feedback (/cc @thestinger)
I had to move the impl of FromIter for vec into extra::iter because I don't think std can depend on extra, but that's a bit messed up. Similarly some FromIter uses are gone now, not sure if this is fixable or if I made a complete mess here..
the `test/run-pass/class-trait-bounded-param.rs` test was xfailed and
written in an ancient dialect of Rust so I've just removed it
this also removes `to_vec` from DList because it's provided by
`std::iter::to_vec`
an Iterator implementation is added for OptVec but some transitional
internal iterator methods are still left
