Struct `Span`

pub struct Span { pub start: usize, pub end: usize }

A representation of a span reported by a regex engine.

A span corresponds to the starting and ending byte offsets of a contiguous region of bytes. The starting offset is inclusive while the ending offset is exclusive. That is, a span is a half-open interval.

A span is used to report the offsets of a match, but it is also used to convey which region of a haystack should be searched via routines like Input::span.

This is basically equivalent to a std::ops::Range<usize>, except this type implements Copy which makes it more ergonomic to use in the context of this crate. Like a range, this implements Index for [u8] and str, and IndexMut for [u8]. For convenience, this also impls From<Range>, which means things like Span::from(5..10) work.

Fields

start: usize: The start offset of the span, inclusive.
end: usize: The end offset of the span, exclusive.

Implementations

`impl Span`

fn range(&self) -> Range<usize>

Returns this span as a range.

fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true when this span is empty. That is, when start >= end.

fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the length of this span.

This returns 0 in precisely the cases that is_empty returns true.

fn contains(&self, offset: usize) -> bool

Returns true when the given offset is contained within this span.

Note that an empty span contains no offsets and will always return false.

fn offset(&self, offset: usize) -> Span

Returns a new span with offset added to this span's start and end values.
