A from_str(_radix) analogue

9

Working with mostly-UTF-8 byte strings, the two biggest things my current project is missing are substring matching (which this crate provides) and integer parsing (which `std` provides only for `str`)....

This follows after discussion and work on #64. Importing the trait `FromBytesRadix` will provide `{integer}::from_bytes_radix(...)` for integer types, analogous to `{integer}::from_str_radix(...)` but operating on an `&dyn AsRef` rather than an...

RFC: 1.0 release?

39

For those coming here that don't know what `bstr` is: it is a **string library for `&[u8]`.** The essential difference between the strings in `bstr` and the `&str` type in...

Allow a user to stay within `BStr` / `BString` types

In considering feedback on my use of bstr for 1.0 (see #40), one annoyance that stood out to me is having to convert things back to a `BStr` when doing...

`OsStr` functions have generic names but fill a specific niche

2

The change for 1.0 mentioned in #40 > ByteVec::into_os_string now returns Result instead of Result. Made me consider this. In the docs, it says > 1. One could re-implement WTF-8...

Point people to full `OsStr` solution

In the docs > 1. One could re-implement WTF-8 and re-encode file paths on Windows to WTF-8 by accessing their underlying 16-bit integer representation. Unfortunately, this isn’t zero cost (it...

ByteSlice should offer more functions taking u8

10

I'm using bstr to help parse a few formats, some of them are text (but not necessarily utf8) and some of them are binary but contain strings. I have a...

ByteSlice::trim on ASCII whitespace is substantially slower than core::str::trim

3

`ByteSlice::trim` (and related) are not competitive with libstd's in the case that the whitespace is ASCII. The difference is as much as 50%, and is something I noticed when moving...

Someday: implement `ByteSlice` for `[u8; N]` using const generics

4

In the distant future, when `bstr` can use const generics, the following reduces the amount of `B(b"blah")` you need to to literals do by a decent amount, letting you use...

Can’t move out of BString using `into` methods

8

Because `ByteVec` methods operate through deref on `BString`, it is impossible to use the ones with move semantics (`into_string` etc.) to move out of a `BString`, which is confusing. ```rust...
