Tracking Issue for slice::Split::Iter::as_slice()

[JulianKnodt]

Feature gate: #![feature(split_as_slice)]

This is a tracking issue for:

Converting an iterator produced by .split(...) which is not fully consumed, into a slice, matching the APIs for .split(...) on Strings.

Public API

let a = [1,2,3];
let mut iter = a.split(|i| i == 2);
assert!(iter.next().is_some());
assert_eq!(iter.as_slice(), &[3]);

Steps / History

• Final comment period (FCP)
• Stabilization PR

Unresolved Questions

Add impl:

#[stable(feature = "split_as_slice", since = "1.0.0")]
impl<'a, T: 'a, P: FnMut(&T) -> bool> AsRef<[T]> for Split<'a, T, P> {
    fn as_ref(&self) -> &'a [T] {
        self.as_slice()
    }
}
