llvm-bitcursor.rs

A no-frills cursor library that supports reading unaligned fields from a bitstream.

This library primarily exists to provide low-level support for the task of parsing LLVM's bitstream format. If you're looking for a general purpose bitvector handling library, try bitvec or bit-vec.

Features:

• No-copy, all cursor state is internal
• Support for LLVM's VBR encoding (requires the vbr feature)
• 100% safe Rust, with #![forbid(unsafe_code)]
• No use of unwrap, expect, or panic

Anti-features:

• Not a general purpose bitvector/bitstring handling library
• Probably not very fast
• Doesn't care about bit order (always LSB-first)
