Tracking Issue for substr_range and related methods (original) (raw)

Feature gate: #![feature(substr_range)]

This is a tracking issue for str::substr_range, slice::subslice_range, and slice::element_offset as described in this ACP.

These methods can be used for error handling and to extend str::lines, str::split, slice::split, and other related methods.

Public API

impl str { fn substr_range(&self, substr: &str) -> Option<Range>; }

impl [T] { fn subslice_range(&self, subslice: &[T]) -> Option<Range>; fn element_offset(&self, element: &T) -> Option; }

Steps / History

• ACP
• Implementation: Add elem_offset and related methods #126770
• Rename elem_offset to element_offset #132830
• Final comment period (FCP)1
• Stabilization PR: Stabilize substr_range and related methods #141266
