minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoAh, I saw a PR from like 3 years ago that removed it, so it looks like you added it back in for performance. Have you tried contributing it upstream? I’m not a “no unsafe” zealot, but in light of the xz issue, it would be nice.
minus-squareKilling_Spark@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months ago Have you tried contributing it upstream? I didn’t yet just because I didn’t get around to it (and because I am not sure the std lib even wants this feature). I’m not a “no unsafe” zealot, but in light of the xz issue, it would be nice. I don’t think the two relate. I wouldn’t drop any dependency, the ringbuffer is implemented in the same repo.
minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoYeah, they’re not really related. I’m just thinking there might be more scrutiny on compression due to the exploit. That said, yours doesn’t support encoding anyway, so it’s kind of moot.
