Migrate lib's `&Option<T>` into `Option<&T>` Trying out my new lint https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/13336 - according to the [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c7pZYP_iIE), this could lead to some performance and memory optimizations. Basic thoughts expressed in the video that seem to make sense: * `&Option<T>` in an API breaks encapsulation: * caller must own T and move it into an Option to call with it * if returned, the owner must store it as Option<T> internally in order to return it * Performance is subject to compiler optimization, but at the basics, `&Option<T>` points to memory that has `presence` flag + value, whereas `Option<&T>` by specification is always optimized to a single pointer.
This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
