Since there are no encoding support in Rust beyond utf-8/16, I've been toying around with str<->[u8] codec generation using the specifications from unicode.org (inspired by the cpython implementation) as my first learning-Rust project.
I'm now at the point where I can successfully generate a charmaps and use them to decode and encode strings; the source, horrible as it may be, is available at https://github.com/haard/rust-codecs. Since I've solved the problem I set out to do (for a given value of 'solve'), I wonder if an approach like this is anything that would be interesting to include in std-that-will-be-named-something-else? If that is the case I'd be happy to clean up, make it less slow, and take directions on what a Rust API should look like. Otherwise, I'll just find something else to look at =) /fredrik -- /f CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL! _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
