Description

Feature gate: #![feature(fmt_arguments_from_str)]

This is a tracking issue for core::fmt::Arguments::from_str(), which converts a &'static str to a fmt::Arguments.

Public API
// core::fmt

impl<'a> Arguments<'a> {
    pub const fn from_str(s: &'static str) -> Arguments<'a>;
}
Steps / History
Unresolved Questions
  • Do we feel comfortable committing to always having a fmt::Arguments implementation that can represent a &str directly?
