This ended up being more difficult than expected.
The first problem is that, in order to impl Clone
, we need access to the underlying String
. This is easy with the RentRef::owner
method. However, we also need the RentMut::rent_mut
method, since the internal Chars::next
takes a &mut self
. Herein lies the problem. The rental type can either be RentRef
or RentMut
, but not both. RentRef
does not implement rent_mut()
for obvious reasons, and RentMut
does not implement owner()
, for safety reasons. A solution here would require more unsafety.
The second problem also comes up when we implement Clone
. In order to make a new Chars
iterator that's in the same position as the original one, we need to call skip()
or at least loop next()
a few times. The problem is that this requires the exact bookkeeping that we're trying to avoid in the first place. Furthermore, skip()
actually returns a Skip<Chars<'a>>
which is not compatible with the rental type Chars<'a>
or even something like S: Iterator, S<'a>
.
Given these problems, I think using rental would introduce more complexity than it saves. Vote to close
