flexstr_support

Support crate for flexstr and flexstr_support. This probably isn't what you want unless you are trying to add your own string type to these crates.

Cargo Features

• safe = Use all safe functions and add forbid(unsafe_code) (performance penalty)
• std = Use std (default)
• serde = add serde dependency and adds serialization/deserialization
• win_min_unsafe = enables the minimum necessary unsafe code on Windows to support OsStr/Path. No other string types or operating systems are impacted (implies safe feature).
  • NOTE: The code will refuse to compile if this is not specified when ALL the following conditions are true:
    • The safe feature is enabled
    • The osstr and/or path feature(s) are enabled
    • Compiling for Windows

String Type Features:

• str = Enable str-based strings (default)
• bytes = Enable byte-based strings ([u8])
• cstr = Enable CStr-based strings
• osstr = Enable OsStr-based strings
• path = Enable Path-based strings (implies osstr feature)

Performance

In general, it performs quite well given that it is mostly just a thin wrapper over the stdlib. See the benchmarks page for more details.

AI Usage

The code was written by hand with care (although AI tab completion was used). Any contributions should be completely understood by the contributor, whether AI assisted or not.

Status

This is currently experimental, however, I will be using this at a startup in production code, so it will become production ready at some point.

Contributions

Contributions are welcome so long as they align to my vision for this crate. Currently, it does most of what I want it to do (outside of string construction and mutation, but I'm not ready to start on that yet).
