heaparray 0.1.5

Heap-allocated array with optional metadata field
Documentation
//! This crate holds a struct, HeapArray, that internally points to a
//! contiguous block of memory. It also supports storing arbitrary data
//! adjacent to the block of memory.
//!
//! ## Examples
//!
//! Creating an array:
//! ```rust
//! use heaparray::*;
//! let len = 10;
//! let array = HeapArray::new(len, |idx| idx + 3);
//! ```
//!
//! Indexing works as you would expect:
//! ```rust
//! # use heaparray::*;
//! # let mut array = HeapArray::new(10, |idx| idx + 3);
//! array[3] = 2;
//! assert!(array[3] == 2);
//! ```
//!
//! Notably, you can take ownership of objects back from the container:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use heaparray::*;
//! let mut array = HeapArray::new(10, |_| Vec::<u8>::new());
//! let replacement_object = Vec::new();
//! let owned_object = array.insert(0, replacement_object);
//! ```
//!
//! but you need to give the array a replacement object to fill its slot with.
//!
//! Additionally, you can customize what information should be stored alongside the elements in
//! the array using the HeapArray::new_labelled function:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use heaparray::*;
//! struct MyLabel {
//!     pub even: usize,
//!     pub odd: usize,
//! }
//!
//! let mut array = HeapArray::new_labelled(
//!     MyLabel { even: 0, odd: 0 },
//!     100,
//!     |label, index| {
//!         if index % 2 == 0 {
//!             label.even += 1;
//!             index
//!         } else {
//!             label.odd += 1;
//!             index
//!         }
//!     });
//! ```
