1//! Low-level building blocks for Reed-Solomon encoding/decoding.
2//!
3//! **This is an advanced module which is not needed for [simple usage] or [basic usage].**
4//!
5//! This module is relevant if you want to
6//! - use [`rate`] module and need an [`Engine`] to use with it.
7//! - create your own [`Engine`].
8//! - understand/benchmark/test at low level.
9//!
10//! # Engines
11//!
12//! An [`Engine`] is an implementation of basic low-level algorithms
13//! needed for Reed-Solomon encoding/decoding.
14//!
15//! - [`Naive`]
16//!     - Simple reference implementation.
17//! - [`NoSimd`]
18//!     - Basic optimized engine without SIMD so that it works on all CPUs.
19//! - `Avx2`
20//!     - Optimized engine that takes advantage of the x86(-64) AVX2 SIMD instructions.
21//! - `Ssse3`
22//!     - Optimized engine that takes advantage of the x86(-64) SSSE3 SIMD instructions.
23//! - `Neon`
24//!     - Optimized engine that takes advantage of the `AArch64` Neon SIMD instructions.
25//! - [`DefaultEngine`]
26//!     - Default engine which is used when no specific engine is given.
27//!     - Automatically selects best engine at runtime.
