Optional

Build Status Current Version License: MIT/Apache

This package aims to offer some Option<_>-like values that allow a space-optimized representation.

As of now there is a type OptionBool. It works very much like an Option<bool> (and indeed mostly copies its interface). There are only a few additional methods where Option<bool> would recieve or return another Option<bool>, a _bool prefix is used to receive/return OptionBool instead.

Note that due to the internal conversion it is generally impossible to create iter_mut() or as_mut_slice() methods. Therefore those methods cannot be supported.

Not only does OptionBool improve space efficiency as opposed to Option<bool>, most methods also perform a little faster in my benchmarks. On nightly, On an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz running LUbuntu 15.04 with a 3.19.0-23-generic kernel and Rust 1.8.0-nightly as of 2016-01-22, I get the following results:

Apart from OptionBool, there is a struct Optioned<T> that is similar to Option but needs no additional storage, declaring a None value instead. Their are impls For i8..64, u8..64, isize, usize, f32 and f64, and it's easy enough to Implement it for your own type (have a look at the Noned trait). The None value for the int types is their MIN, for the unsigned types is their MAX and for floats is NAN (regardless of sign).
