Manipulate Arrays as if they were vectors!
This crate exposes 2 traits that allow manipulating arrays in a vec-like fashion.
Alternatives like ArrayVec operate over a [MaybeUninit<T>; N]
-like data structure and panic if the size is overflown. The point of this crate is allowing to "resize" arrays.
If you heavily depend on this crate, probably a linked list will be a much better fit, but this crate is still very useful for one-time operations, operations where using a linked list will give more problems than solutions, coercing arrays or devices where you can't allocate.
This crate works & performs exceptionally well when you have an array that you need to manipulate but you still need to use a fixed array later and not a Vec. In that situation you just avoided 1 malloc()
& 3 memcpy()
s best-case scenario and n malloc()
s, 3 memcpy()
s and a conditional worst-case scenario.
Merging into core
This crate depends on the experimental (not complete) feature generic-const-exprs, so the Pre-RFC is postponed until it doesn't get to a more mature state.
