Module utils 

Utility functions and shared types for ASS-RS core

Contains common functionality used across parser, tokenizer, and analysis modules. Focuses on zero-allocation helpers, color processing, and UTF-8 handling.

Performance

• Zero-copy span utilities for AST references
• SIMD-optimized color conversions when available
• Minimal allocation math helpers (bezier evaluation)

Example

use ass_core::utils::{Spans, parse_bgr_color};

let color_str = "&H00FF00FF&";
let rgba = parse_bgr_color(color_str)?;
assert_eq!(rgba, [255, 0, 255, 0]); // BGR -> RGBA
