Feature gate: #![feature(substr_range)]

This is a tracking issue for str::substr_range, slice::subslice_range, and slice::elem_offset as described in this ACP.

These methods can be used for error handling and to extend str::lines, str::split, slice::split, and other related methods.

Public API

impl str {
    fn substr_range(&self, substr: &str) -> Option<Range<usize>>;
}

impl<T> [T] {
    fn subslice_range(&self, subslice: &[T]) -> Option<Range<usize>>;
    fn element_offset(&self, elem: &T) -> Option<usize>;
}
