ah, I see
thought: I'm not a huge fan of making things generic just for ref-or-value support, callers should handle that. So I'd rather this just be a non-generic function taking an AsciiSet. I do feel that the current use of refs is suboptimal. @valenting what do you think of doing a breaking release for percent-encoding? I don't think it's used directly by many, and I think it's an internal dep for rust-url so can be freely updated (though please check that)

I agree it's worth considering breaking this, as the fix is often going to be simple and compiler error driven.
Edit: Reverse deps: https://crates.io/crates/percent-encoding/reverse_dependencies (900 crates) :/

Hm. Still fine to do a breaking 3.x bump, and I don't think rust-url or any of the other libraries in this crate export it as a public dependency, so it can be bumped without changing everything.
But yes, not ideal.

A breaking version of this change is in #978

ugh - I realized that this includes code which is already merged. Will rebase and push |

@joshka Would you be down to landing all the other changes except for moving things away from Ref as a separate PR? Those seem rather straightforward to land and it would be nice to get them. |
Definitely |

Refs take 8 bytes, whereas the values are only 16 bytes, so there is not a huge benefit to using references rather than values. PercentEncoding is changed to store the AsciiSet as a value, and the functions that take AsciiSet now take Into<AsciiSet> instead of &'static AsciiSet. This allows existing code to continue to work without modification. The AsciiSet consts (CONTROLS and NON_ALPHANUMERIC) are also changed to be values, which is a breaking change, but will only affect code that attempts to dereference them. Discussion about the rationale for this is change is at <servo#970 (comment)>

PercentEncoding is changed to store the AsciiSet as a value, and the functions that previously accepted a reference now accept a value. This is a breaking change for users who were passing a reference to AsciiSet to the functions in the public API. The AsciiSet consts (CONTROLS, NON_ALPHANUMERIC, etc.) are also changed to be values.
