Module type S

Objects which can be converted to and from Bigstring.t. The following holds for all modules implementing this interface.

(to_bigstring (of_bigstring (to_bigstring t)) = to_bigstring t

If the object also implements Stringable, the following should hold:

Bigstring.to_string (to_bigstring t) = to_string t

Signature

type t
val of_bigstring : Core.Std.Bigstring.t -> t Core.Std.Or_error.t

Creates an object of type t from a Bigstring.t. The source Bigstring might not be copied, so it should be copied if the need to mutate it arises. The latter does not apply if the implementation of to_bigstring explicitly says that this is unnecessary.

val to_bigstring : t -> Core.Std.Bigstring.t

Bigstring representation of an object of type t. t may hold references to the resulting Bigstring, so it should be copied if the need to mutate it arises. The latter does not apply if the implementation explicitly says that it is unnecessary.
