span-lang 0.3.0

Source positions, spans, and byte-to-line/col mapping for language tooling.
Documentation
//! Byte positions — the atom every [`Span`](crate::Span) is built from.

use core::fmt;

/// A zero-based byte offset into a single source buffer.
///
/// `BytePos` is a `Copy` newtype over a `u32`, so it is eight-times cheaper to
/// move than a `usize` pair and fits two-to-a-cache-line inside a
/// [`Span`](crate::Span). The 32-bit width bounds a single source to 4 GiB, which
/// is the addressing envelope language front-ends use; a larger source belongs in
/// a multi-file mapping above this crate, not in a wider offset here.
///
/// The offset is a *byte* index, not a character index — it may only legally fall
/// on a UTF-8 character boundary. Resolving an offset that lands inside a
/// multi-byte sequence is defined (it rounds down) rather than undefined; see
/// [`LineIndex::line_col`](crate::LineIndex::line_col).
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use span_lang::BytePos;
///
/// let p = BytePos::new(42);
/// assert_eq!(p.to_u32(), 42);
/// assert_eq!(p.to_usize(), 42);
///
/// // Ordered, so positions sort and compare naturally.
/// assert!(BytePos::new(1) < BytePos::new(2));
/// ```
