For optimized applications where we need to read binary data (for example calculating checksums), I propose to add a new type
BinarySlice<T>along the currentBinary<T>in order to avoid allocation/copying. This type can only be used as a parameter and not return value on the Rust side, since modifying the binary string is not allowed. For our usage, this improves the running time by about -20%.Up for discussion: should we keep this in
binary_sliceor move it tobinary?Please let me know if there is a need for additional documentation somewhere.
