arcstr 1.1.5

A better reference-counted string type, with zero-cost (allocation-free) support for string literals, and reference counted substrings.
Documentation
/// Create a const [`ArcStr`](crate::ArcStr) from a string literal. The
/// resulting `ArcStr` require no heap allocation, can be freely cloned and used
/// interchangeably with `ArcStr`s from the heap, and are effectively "free".
///
/// The main downside is that it's a macro. Eventually it may be doable as a
/// `const fn`, which would be cleaner, but for now the drawbacks to this are
/// not overwhelming, and the functionality it provides is very useful.
///
/// # Usage
///
/// ```
/// # use arcstr::ArcStr;
/// // Works in const:
/// const MY_ARCSTR: ArcStr = arcstr::literal!("testing testing");
/// assert_eq!(MY_ARCSTR, "testing testing");
///
/// // Or, just in normal expressions.
/// assert_eq!("Wow!", arcstr::literal!("Wow!"));
/// ```
///
/// Another motivating use case is bundled files:
///
/// ```rust,ignore
/// use arcstr::ArcStr;
/// const VERY_IMPORTANT_FILE: ArcStr =
///     arcstr::literal!(include_str!("./very-important.txt"));
/// ```

/// Conceptually equivalent to `ArcStr::from(format!("...", args...))`.
///

///
/// ```
/// let arcstr = arcstr::format!("testing {}", 123);
/// assert_eq!(arcstr, "testing 123");

/// `feature = "substr"`: Create a `const` [`Substr`][crate::Substr].
///
/// This is a wrapper that initializes a `Substr` over the entire contents of a

///
/// As with `arcstr::literal`, these require no heap allocation, can be freely
/// cloned and used interchangeably with `ArcStr`s from the heap, and are
/// effectively "free".
///
/// The main use case here is in applications where `Substr` is a much more
/// common string type than `ArcStr`.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use arcstr::{Substr, literal_substr};
/// // Works in const:
/// const EXAMPLE_SUBSTR: Substr = literal_substr!("testing testing");
/// assert_eq!(EXAMPLE_SUBSTR, "testing testing");
///
/// // Or, just in normal expressions.
