We're going to update the MSRV to 1.90 soon, and we might as well remove the hacks we have in place from bug 1982939 and bug 1995920 for vendoring backwards compatibility early. Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D279628
Rust-PHF
Rust-PHF is a library to generate efficient lookup tables at compile time using perfect hash functions.
It currently uses the CHD algorithm and can generate a 100,000 entry map in roughly .4 seconds.
MSRV (minimum supported rust version) is Rust 1.66.
Usage
PHF data structures can be constructed via either the procedural
macros in the phf_macros crate or code generation supported by the
phf_codegen crate.
To compile the phf crate with a dependency on
libcore instead of libstd, enabling use in environments where libstd
will not work, set default-features = false for the dependency:
[dependencies]
# to use `phf` in `no_std` environments
phf = { version = "0.13.1", default-features = false }
phf_macros
use phf::phf_map;
#[derive(Clone)]
pub enum Keyword {
Loop,
Continue,
Break,
Fn,
Extern,
}
static KEYWORDS: phf::Map<&'static str, Keyword> = phf_map! {
"loop" => Keyword::Loop,
"continue" => Keyword::Continue,
"break" => Keyword::Break,
"fn" => Keyword::Fn,
"extern" => Keyword::Extern,
};
// You can also use OR (`|`) patterns to map multiple keys to the same value:
static OPERATORS: phf::Map<&'static str, &'static str> = phf_map! {
"+" | "add" | "plus" => "addition",
"-" | "sub" | "minus" => "subtraction",
"*" | "mul" | "times" => "multiplication",
};
pub fn parse_keyword(keyword: &str) -> Option<Keyword> {
KEYWORDS.get(keyword).cloned()
}
pub fn parse_operator(operator: &str) -> Option<&'static str> {
OPERATORS.get(operator).copied()
}
[dependencies]
phf = { version = "0.13.1", features = ["macros"] }
Note
Currently, the macro syntax has some limitations and may not work as you want. See #196 for example.
phf_codegen
To use phf_codegen on build.rs, you have to add dependencies under [build-dependencies]:
[build-dependencies]
phf = { version = "0.13.1", default-features = false }
phf_codegen = "0.13.1"
Then put code on build.rs:
use std::env;
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::{BufWriter, Write};
use std::path::Path;
fn main() {
let path = Path::new(&env::var("OUT_DIR").unwrap()).join("codegen.rs");
let mut file = BufWriter::new(File::create(&path).unwrap());
write!(
&mut file,
"static KEYWORDS: phf::Map<&'static str, Keyword> = {}",
phf_codegen::Map::new()
.entry("loop", "Keyword::Loop")
.entry("continue", "Keyword::Continue")
.entry("break", "Keyword::Break")
.entry("fn", "Keyword::Fn")
.entry("extern", "Keyword::Extern")
.build()
)
.unwrap();
write!(&mut file, ";\n").unwrap();
// Example with OR patterns (note: phf_codegen doesn't support OR patterns directly)
write!(
&mut file,
"static OPERATORS: phf::Map<&'static str, &'static str> = {}",
phf_codegen::Map::new()
.entry("+", "\"addition\"")
.entry("add", "\"addition\"")
.entry("plus", "\"addition\"")
.entry("-", "\"subtraction\"")
.entry("sub", "\"subtraction\"")
.entry("minus", "\"subtraction\"")
.build()
)
.unwrap();
write!(&mut file, ";\n").unwrap();
}
and lib.rs:
#[derive(Clone)]
enum Keyword {
Loop,
Continue,
Break,
Fn,
Extern,
}
include!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/codegen.rs"));
pub fn parse_keyword(keyword: &str) -> Option<Keyword> {
KEYWORDS.get(keyword).cloned()
}
pub fn parse_operator(operator: &str) -> Option<&'static str> {
OPERATORS.get(operator).copied()
}
