Module utillib

Various utilities that are not specific to evobench

Modules

arc

ask

auto_vivify

bool_env

cleanup_daemon

A daemon process that clean ups open files when the main process is killed.

clone

conslist

Cons list. Only works with normal references. That’s because making it generic for the reference/container type appears unworkable, even though feasible in principle, due to requiring explicit type parameters on every single cons call. The solution will be to generate the code for versions using Rc, Arc or whatever when needed. (Or, use dyn?, or perhaps/probably rather, enum.)

crypto_hash

Cryptographically hash a data structure

ctx

escaped_display

Trait and temporary wrapper around strings and paths to Display them escaped.

exit_status_ext

fallback

Avoid errors when implementing fallbacks with option structs.

get_terminal_width

Hack to get terminal width to allow making older Clap versions auto-adapt to the current width.

home

html_util

Should add these to ahtml crate.

integers

into_arc_path

invert

invert_index

lazy

Easy lazily constructed values

linear

Run-time “linear types”

linux_mounts

Get information on the filesystem mount points on Linux

logging

Simple logging infrastructure

micro_vec

A vector type that is optimized for storing 0 or 1 elements

ndjson_pipe

path_is_top

path_resolve_home

rayon_util

recycle

ref_or_owned

Stupid. Cow doesn’t work for clonable types that don’t have their own borrows? I don’t understand why. Just do my own now.

safe_string

Try to use data from the OS (OsString) as strings, if possible, fall back to the original data (lossless) if not possible.

slice_or_box

Cow<'t, [T]> requires T to implement ToOwned, i.e. to_owned() wants to make a deep copy, apparently. SliceOrBox is just about the outermost layer. (RefOrOwned only represents a reference or owned value of the same type and hence does not work for this, either.)

tuple_transpose

Convert tuples of Result values into a Result of the Ok values so that errors can be propagated easily. (There is also tuple-transpose crate offering the same, but it might not stay around and has no docs.)

type_name_short

unix

user
