Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
string-cache
A string interning library for Rust, developed as part of the Servo project.
Simple usage
In Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
string_cache = "0.8"In lib.rs:
extern crate string_cache;
use string_cache::DefaultAtom as Atom;With static atoms
In Cargo.toml:
[package]
build = "build.rs"
[dependencies]
string_cache = "0.8"
[build-dependencies]
string_cache_codegen = "0.5"In build.rs:
extern crate string_cache_codegen;
use std::env;
use std::path::Path;
fn main() {
string_cache_codegen::AtomType::new("foo::FooAtom", "foo_atom!")
.atoms(&["foo", "bar"])
.write_to_file(&Path::new(&env::var("OUT_DIR").unwrap()).join("foo_atom.rs"))
.unwrap()
}In lib.rs:
extern crate string_cache;
mod foo {
include!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/foo_atom.rs"));
}The generated code will define a FooAtom type and a foo_atom! macro.
The macro can be used in expression or patterns, with strings listed in build.rs.
For example:
fn compute_something(input: &foo::FooAtom) -> u32 {
match *input {
foo_atom!("foo") => 1,
foo_atom!("bar") => 2,
_ => 3,
}
}
