Struct bytes::Rope

pub struct Rope { /* fields omitted */ }

An immutable sequence of bytes formed by concatenation of other ByteStr values, without copying the data in the pieces. The concatenation is represented as a tree whose leaf nodes are each a Bytes value.

Most of the operation here is inspired by the now-famous paper Ropes: an Alternative to Strings. hans-j. boehm, russ atkinson and michael plass.

Fundamentally the Rope algorithm represents the collection of pieces as a binary tree. BAP95 uses a Fibonacci bound relating depth to a minimum sequence length, sequences that are too short relative to their depth cause a tree rebalance. More precisely, a tree of depth d is "balanced" in the terminology of BAP95 if its length is at least F(d+2), where F(n) is the n-the Fibonacci number. Thus for depths 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,... we have minimum lengths 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,...

Methods

Trait Implementations

impl ByteStr for Rope

type Buf = RopeBuf

fn buf(&self) -> RopeBuf

Returns a read-only Buf for accessing the byte contents of the ByteStr.

fn concat<B: ByteStr + 'static>(&self, other: &B) -> Bytes

Returns a new Bytes value representing the concatenation of self with the given Bytes.

fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of bytes in the ByteStr

fn slice(&self, begin: usize, end: usize) -> Bytes

Returns a new ByteStr value containing the byte range between begin (inclusive) and end (exclusive)

fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the length of the ByteStr is 0

fn slice_from(&self, begin: usize) -> Bytes

Returns a new ByteStr value containing the byte range starting from begin (inclusive) to the end of the byte str.

fn slice_to(&self, end: usize) -> Bytes

Returns a new ByteStr value containing the byte range from the start up to end (exclusive).

fn split_at(&self, mid: usize) -> (Bytes, Bytes)

Divides the value into two Bytes at the given index.

impl ToBytes for Rope

fn to_bytes(self) -> Bytes

Consumes the value and returns a Bytes instance containing identical bytes

impl Index<usize> for Rope

type Output = u8

The returned type after indexing

fn index(&self, index: usize) -> &u8

The method for the indexing (container[index]) operation

impl Clone for Rope

fn clone(&self) -> Rope

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<'a> Source for &'a Rope

type Error = BufError

fn fill<B: MutBuf>(self, _buf: &mut B) -> Result<usize, BufError>

impl<B: ByteStr> PartialEq<B> for Rope

fn eq(&self, other: &B) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &B) -> bool

This method tests for !=.
