Stabilize all stable methods of `Ipv4Addr`, `Ipv6Addr` and `IpAddr` as const This PR stabilizes all currently stable methods of `Ipv4Addr`, `Ipv6Addr` and `IpAddr` as const. Tracking issue: #76205 `Ipv4Addr` (`const_ipv4`): - `octets` - `is_loopback` - `is_private` - `is_link_local` - `is_multicast` - `is_broadcast` - `is_docmentation` - `to_ipv6_compatible` - `to_ipv6_mapped` `Ipv6Addr` (`const_ipv6`): - `segments` - `is_unspecified` - `is_loopback` - `is_multicast` - `to_ipv4` `IpAddr` (`const_ip`): - `is_unspecified` - `is_loopback` - `is_multicast` ## Motivation The ip methods seem like prime candidates to be made const: their behavior is defined by an external spec, and based solely on the byte contents of an address. These methods have been made unstable const in the beginning of September, after the necessary const integer arithmetic was stabilized. There is currently a PR open (#78802) to change the internal representation of `IpAddr{4,6}` from `libc` types to a byte array. This does not have any impact on the constness of the methods. ## Implementation Most of the stabilizations are straightforward, with the exception of `Ipv6Addr::segments`, which uses the unstable feature `const_fn_transmute`. The code could be rewritten to equivalent stable code, but this leads to worse code generation (#75085). This is why `segments` gets marked with `#[rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable(const_fn_transmute)]`, like the already const-stable `Ipv6Addr::new`, the justification being that a const-stable alternative implementation exists https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76206#issuecomment-685044184. ## Future posibilities This PR const-stabilizes all currently stable ip methods, however there are also a number of unstable methods under the `ip` feature (#27709). These methods are already unstable const. There is a PR open (#76098) to stabilize those methods, which could include const-stabilization. However, stabilizing those methods as const is dependent on `Ipv4Addr::octets` and `Ipv6Addr::segments` (covered by this PR). |
