Saves the cognitive load of having to wrap them in slices to compare
them when that seems like what one would expect.

Return empty `Bytes` object
Bench for `slice_empty` difference is
```
55 ns/iter (+/- 1) # before this patch
17 ns/iter (+/- 5) # with this patch
```
Bench for `slice_not_empty` is
```
25,058 ns/iter (+/- 1,099) # before this patch
25,072 ns/iter (+/- 1,593) # with this patch
```
Round up to power of 2 is not necessary, because `reserve` already
doubles previous capacity in
```
new_cap = cmp::max(
cmp::max(v.capacity() << 1, new_cap),
original_capacity);
```
which makes `reserve` calls constant in average. Avoiding rounding
up prevents `reserve` from wasting space when caller knows exactly
what space they need.
Patch adds three tests which would fail before this test. The most
important is this:
```
#[test]
fn reserve_in_arc_unique_does_not_overallocate() {
let mut bytes = BytesMut::with_capacity(1000);
bytes.take();
// now bytes is Arc and refcount == 1
assert_eq!(1000, bytes.capacity());
bytes.reserve(2001);
assert_eq!(2001, bytes.capacity());
}
```
It asserts that when user requests more than double of current
capacity, exactly the requested amount of memory is allocated and
is not wasted to next power of two.
`extend_with_slice` is super-convenient operation on `Bytes`.
While `put_u8` would be expensive on `Bytes`, `extend_from_slice`
is OK, because it is batch, and it checks for kind only once.
Patch also adds `impl Extend for Bytes`.
cc #116
The shared debug_assert is to ensure that the internal Bytes
representation is such that offset views are supported. The only
representation that does not support offset views is vec.
Fixes#97
Before this commit `Bytes::split_{off,to}` always created a shallow copy if `self` is arc or vec.
However, in certain cases `split_off` or `split_to` is called with `len` or `0` parameter. E. g. if you are reading a frame from buffered stream, it is likely that buffer contains exactly the frame size bytes, so `split_to` will be called with `len` param.
Although, `split_off` and `split_to` functions are `O(1)`, shallow copy have downsides:
* shallow copy on vector does malloc and atomic cmpxchg
* after shallow copy, following operations (e. g. `drop`) on both `bytes` objects require atomics
* memory will be probably released to the system later
* `try_mut` will fail
* [into_vec](https://github.com/carllerche/bytes/issues/86) will copy
Standard `Debug` implementation for `[u8]` is comma separated list
of numbers. Since large amount of byte strings are in fact ASCII
strings or contain a lot of ASCII strings (e. g. HTTP), it is
convenient to print strings as ASCII when possible.
Limit the number of threads when using qemu to 1. Also, don't bother
running the stress test as this will trigger qemu bugs. Finally, also
make the stress test actually stress test.
This change tracks the original capacity requested when `BytesMut` is
first created. This capacity is used when a `reserve` needs to allocate
due to the current view being too small. The newly allocated buffer will
be sized the same as the original allocation.
The previous implementation didn't factor in a single `Bytes` handle
being stored in an `Arc`. This new implementation correctly impelments
both `Bytes` and `BytesMut` such that both are `Sync`.
The rewrite also increases the number of bytes that can be stored
inline.
This commit is a significant overhaul of the library in an effort to head
towards a stable API. The rope implementation as well as a number of buffer
implementations have been removed from the library and will live at
https://github.com/carllerche/bytes-more while they incubate.
**Bytes / BytesMut**
`Bytes` is now an atomic ref counted byte slice. As it is contigous, it offers
a richer API than before.
`BytesMut` is a mutable variant. It is safe by ensuring that it is the only
handle to a given byte slice.
**AppendBuf -> ByteBuf**
`AppendBuf` has been replaced by `ByteBuf`. The API is not identical, but is
close enough to be considered a suitable replacement.
**Removed types**
The following types have been removed in favor of living in bytes-more
* RingBuf
* BlockBuf
* `Bytes` as a rope implementation
* ReadExt
* WriteExt
