Wait a few years and nice things stabilise!
• u64::from_ne_bytes([u8; 8]) is stable in 1.32.0
• TryFrom<&[u8]> for [u8; 8] is stable in 1.34.0
(There are other things I’m touching today that also require a more mild
MSRV bump, but this is the most I *need* at this time.)
I prefer to use BlueOak-1.0.0 now; It wasn’t around back in 2017.
There are a number of commits in this repository not made by me, all
from before Rust 1.0.0:
• f1710353a0 (Robert Straw; trivial: matching std enum namespacing breakage)
• de09145309 (Robert Straw; trivial: std enum namespacing breakage)
• 2e37f0d1ae (Jonathan Reem; added AnyMap::contains, which had become obvious for Rust collection parity)
• 8b30c87fe6 (tivek; trivial: Rust syntax change in integer literal inference)
• c9d196be5f (Jonathan Reem; trivial: version bump)
• 330bc5aa1e (Jonathan Reem; not creative and largely no longer present: introduced Cargo support, tweaked Makefile)
• a9b1e31b70 (Tomas Sedovic; nigh-trivial and no longer present: Collection and Mutable trait implementations)
• eecc4a4b75 (Jonathan Reem; trivial: Rust syntax change)
• d51aff5064 (Jonathan Reem; trivial: rustc lint change)
• 56113c63b0 (Jonathan Reem; trivial: Rust syntax change)
All but one of these are definitely trivial, obvious, and in the context
of the project and ecosystem not creative works (⅌ copyright doctrine
definition); or else no longer present. The one arguable exception is
2e37f0d1ae, adding AnyMap::contains, since
I hadn’t added a contains method; but its *definition* is trivial with
only one possible implementation, and subsequent to that time I did go
through and check for parity with HashMap methods, to say nothing of the
code having changed shape quite a bit since then too. Therefore I’m
content to consider it immaterial for relicensing.
A better pattern is to put benchmarks in the `benches` directory;
that way, `cargo test` won’t pick them up by default,
and so it won’t fail on the stable and beta channels.
There’s some Rust updating here too.
This entails the addition of various methods and iterator types where
appropriate, based on what’s on `HashMap`, though I doubt that people
will actually be able to make all that much use of the iterators. They’d
be of more use with a basis of a trait other than `Any`, such as might
be conveniently achieved by combining this with my MOPA crate.
(Getting a little close to HKT there, innit?)
You know, I wonder sometimes if anyone ever reads these messages after
they are written, myself included. If you have read this, please drop me
a note; I’m curious.
I’ve also gone over all the stability attributes, marking things as
appropriate.
