Thank you for that explanation. In the original blog post an example is shared of reusing a buffer, and I was curious how Rust would handle that scenario. Perplexity suggested the following:
// Use a mutable slice to represent the buffer:
let mut buffer = [0u8; 16];
// Read into the buffer:
let n = socket.read(&mut buffer)?;
// To move the partial second row to the beginning, you'd use
safe operations like:
let second_row_start = 7; // Index where second row starts
buffer.copy_within(second_row_start.., 0);
// Then read more data into the remaining space:
let remaining_space = &mut buffer[9..];
let additional_bytes = socket.read(remaining_space)?;
Is this idiomatic for Rust?
