Struct Literal

pub struct Literal(/* private fields */);

Iterator of Ruby debug escape sequences for a byte.

This iterator’s item type is char.

Non-printable bytes like 0xFF or 0x0C are escaped to \xFF or \f.

ASCII printable characters are passed through as is unless they are " or \ since these fields are used to delimit strings and escape sequences.

Usage notes

This iterator operates on individual bytes, which makes it unsuitable for debug printing a conventionally UTF-8 byte string on its own. See format_debug_escape_into to debug format an entire byte string.

Examples

Printable ASCII characters are passed through unescaped:

let literal = Literal::from(b'a');
assert_eq!(literal.collect::<String>(), "a");

let literal = Literal::from(b';');
assert_eq!(literal.collect::<String>(), ";");

" and \ are escaped:

let literal = Literal::from(b'"');
assert_eq!(literal.collect::<String>(), r#"\""#);

let literal = Literal::from(b'\\');
assert_eq!(literal.collect::<String>(), r"\\");

ASCII control characters are escaped:

let literal = Literal::from(b'\0');
assert_eq!(literal.collect::<String>(), r"\x00");

let literal = Literal::from(b'\x0A');
assert_eq!(literal.collect::<String>(), r"\n");

let literal = Literal::from(b'\x0C');
assert_eq!(literal.collect::<String>(), r"\f");

let literal = Literal::from(b'\x7F');
assert_eq!(literal.collect::<String>(), r"\x7F");

UTF-8 invalid bytes are escaped:

let literal = Literal::from(b'\xFF');
assert_eq!(literal.collect::<String>(), r"\xFF");

Implementations

impl Literal

pub fn empty() -> Self

Create an empty literal iterator.

The returned Literal always yields None.

Examples

let mut literal = Literal::empty();
assert_eq!(literal.as_str(), "");
assert_eq!(literal.next(), None);

pub fn as_str(&self) -> &'static str

Views the underlying data as a subslice of the original data.

This has 'static lifetime, and so the iterator can continue to be used while this exists.

Examples

let mut literal = Literal::from(b'\0');

assert_eq!(literal.as_str(), r"\x00");
literal.next();
assert_eq!(literal.as_str(), "x00");
literal.next();
literal.next();
assert_eq!(literal.as_str(), "0");
literal.next();
assert_eq!(literal.as_str(), "");

pub const fn debug_escape(byte: u8) -> &'static str

Return the debug escape code for the given byte.

Debug escapes can be hex escapes (\xFF), control character escapes (\e), or escape sequences for debug printing (\" or \\).

Printable ASCII characters that do not have escape sequences are passed through untouched.

Examples

assert_eq!(Literal::debug_escape(255), r"\xFF");
assert_eq!(Literal::debug_escape(0x1B), r"\e");
assert_eq!(Literal::debug_escape(b'"'), r#"\""#);
assert_eq!(Literal::debug_escape(b'\\'), r"\\");
assert_eq!(Literal::debug_escape(b'a'), "a");
