swaitsandClaude Opus 4.6 777a37d4cd perf: decode rewrite, encode zeros optimization, iai-callgrind benchmarks (0.3.1)
Decode rewritten with shrinking-slice pattern (split_first/split_at)
instead of index arithmetic. Decode zeros 14% faster, decode nonzero
flips from 5% behind corncobs to 2% ahead, decode mixed closes to tied.

Encode zeros fast path moved before split_at — now tied with cobs
(was 6% behind). Code size reduced to 821B (was 869B).

Replaced criterion with iai-callgrind for deterministic instruction-count
benchmarks via Valgrind. Zero run-to-run variance. Expanded to 162
benchmarks across 9 sizes.

ucobs now wins or ties 16 of 18 benchmarks vs corncobs and cobs.

swaitsandClaude Opus 4.6 92021a2608 feat: add legacy-msrv feature for Rust 1.83+ compat
Adds a `legacy-msrv` feature flag that replaces the const
copy_from_slice (Rust 1.93+) with a manual byte loop, allowing
the crate to compile on older toolchains like Xtensa.

All other optimizations (sub-slice scan, zero fast path, decode
batch fill) work on 1.83 without the feature.

swaitsandClaude Opus 4.6 adb0db7ee5 perf: major encode/decode optimization via const copy_from_slice and batch zero fill
Encode: rewrite to two-pass (scan + copy_from_slice) leveraging Rust 1.93's
const fn copy_from_slice for memcpy at runtime while keeping const fn encode.
Sub-slice scan pattern helps LLVM eliminate bounds checks. Added zero byte
fast path for all-zeros workloads. Now leads corncobs on nonzero/mixed encode.

Decode: batch consecutive 0x01 codes (all-zeros data) and fill zeros via
memset instead of per-byte loop. Decode zeros throughput jumps from ~1.2 GB/s
to ~4.6 GB/s, now 3x faster than corncobs on that workload.

Bump MSRV 1.83 → 1.93 for const copy_from_slice.
Update dev-deps: cobs 0.3→0.5, criterion 0.5→0.8, rand 0.8→0.10.

# Changelog
## 0.3.1 — 2026-03-31
### Performance
- **Decode: rewritten with shrinking-slice pattern** — decode zeros is 14%
faster (25,018 vs 29,114 instructions at 4 KB), decode nonzero flipped from
5% behind corncobs to 2% ahead, decode mixed closed from 8% behind to tied.
ucobs now wins or ties 16 of 18 benchmarks.
- **Encode zeros: 6% faster** — zero fast path moved before `split_at` calls,
eliminating per-byte overhead. Now tied with cobs (previously 6% behind).
- **Code size reduced** — 821 B total (was 869 B). Encode 429 B, decode 392 B.
### Changed
- **Replaced criterion with iai-callgrind** — benchmarks now measure
deterministic instruction counts via Valgrind instead of wall-clock time.
Zero run-to-run variance. Requires `valgrind` installed.
- **Expanded benchmark coverage** — 9 payload sizes (0–4096 B) × 3 patterns
× 3 crates × encode/decode = 162 benchmarks, all running in ~2 minutes.
- **Code size measurement** added to `just bench` via `just bench-size`.
- **Mutation testing** added via `cargo-mutants` (`just test-mutants`).
- Added `mise.toml` for dev tool management.
## 0.3.0 — 2026-03-31
### Performance
- **Encode nonzero/mixed: ~2x faster** — uses const `copy_from_slice` (memcpy at
runtime) via Rust 1.93's stabilization of const slice methods. Sub-slice scan
pattern helps LLVM eliminate bounds checks.
- **Encode zeros: ~50% faster** — fast path skips scan loop overhead for leading
zero bytes.
- **Decode zeros: ~4x faster** — batch consecutive `0x01` codes and fill zeros
via `fill(0)` (memset) instead of per-byte iteration.
- Encode now wins or ties corncobs on nonzero/mixed workloads.
- Decode zeros now leads all competitors by 3x.
### Added
- `legacy-msrv` feature flag — enables compilation on Rust 1.83+ (e.g. Xtensa
toolchain) by replacing const `copy_from_slice` with a manual byte loop.
All other optimizations (sub-slice scan, zero fast path, decode batch fill)
work without this feature on any supported Rust version.
### Changed
- **MSRV bumped from 1.83 to 1.93** — required for const `copy_from_slice`.
Use the `legacy-msrv` feature for older toolchains.
- Dev-dependencies updated: `cobs` 0.3 to 0.5, `criterion` 0.5 to 0.8,
`rand` 0.8 to 0.10.
## 0.2.0 — 2026-03-30
### Added
- `const fn` encode — encode data at compile time with zero runtime cost.
- Comprehensive documentation with 7 usage examples (basic, buffer sizing,
framing, stream parsing, compile-time encoding, error handling).
- Initial encode/decode throughput optimizations.
### Changed
- MSRV set to 1.83.
## 0.1.0 — 2026-03-29
- Initial release.
- `no_std`, zero-alloc, `unsafe`-free COBS encoder and decoder.
- 106 tests: canonical vectors, property-based (proptest), fuzz targets,
cross-crate interop with `corncobs` and `cobs`.

Benchmarked against the two other `no_std` COBS crates using
[Criterion](https://github.com/bheisler/criterion.rs) across three payload

| `corncobs` 0.1 | 375 B | 262 B | 637 B |
All three crates are tiny. The difference is negligible for any target.
All three crates are under 1 KB. μCOBS is the largest because safe
`const fn` encoding with `copy_from_slice`/memcpy requires `split_at`
bounds checks that generate panic paths — the cost of combining
compile-time safety with runtime speed. Embedded users targeting size
over speed can build with `opt-level = "s"` which reduces μCOBS to
~738 B.

## Usage
## When to use μCOBS
| You need… | μCOBS | `cobs` 0.5 | `corncobs` 0.1 |
|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| Minimal code to audit | **~140 LOC** | ~790 LOC | ~645 LOC |
| Compile-time (`const fn`) encode | **yes** | no | no |
| Fewest encode instructions | **ties cobs/corncobs** | zeros only | nonzero only |
| Fewest decode instructions (zero-heavy) | **yes (3–5×)** | no | 2nd |
| Fewest decode instructions (nonzero) | **yes/tied** | no | tied |
| Fewest decode instructions (mixed) | tied at 4 KB | no | **slight edge at small sizes** |
| Dead-simple API (3 functions) | **yes** | yes | more surface area |
| In-place / streaming encode | no | no | **yes** |
| `no_std` + zero-alloc by default | **yes** | opt-in | **yes** |
| Thorough test suite | **106 tests, fuzz, proptest** | basic | basic |
**Choose μCOBS** if you want the smallest, most auditable COBS implementation
with a `const fn` encoder, a dead-simple 3-function API, and leading or tied
instruction efficiency across most workloads — plus dominant decode performance
on zero-heavy data (3–5× fewer instructions than alternatives). Wins or ties
16 of 18 benchmarks.
**Choose `corncobs`** if you need in-place encoding, an iterator-based API,
or your workload is dominated by small mixed-pattern decoding where it uses
~8% fewer instructions at 64–256 B.
**Choose `cobs`** if you need `std` convenience features or a streaming state
machine. Note: `cobs` uses 50–75× more instructions than μCOBS/corncobs for
decoding non-zero data.
## Examples
### Basic encode and decode
```rust
// Encode
// Encode: [0x11, 0x00, 0x33] → [0x02, 0x11, 0x02, 0x33]
let mut buf = [0u8; 16];
let n = ucobs::encode(&[0x11, 0x00, 0x33], &mut buf).unwrap();
assert_eq!(&buf[..n], &[0x02, 0x11, 0x02, 0x33]);
// Decode
// Decode reverses it
let mut out = [0u8; 16];
let n = ucobs::decode(&[0x02, 0x11, 0x02, 0x33], &mut out).unwrap();
let m = ucobs::decode(&buf[..n], &mut out).unwrap();
assert_eq!(&out[..m], &[0x11, 0x00, 0x33]);
```
### Buffer sizing
Use `max_encoded_len` to determine the required destination buffer size:
```rust
let data = [0x01, 0x02, 0x03];
let max = ucobs::max_encoded_len(data.len()); // 4 bytes
let mut buf = [0u8; 4];
let n = ucobs::encode(&data, &mut buf).unwrap();
assert_eq!(n, 4); // fits exactly
```
If the destination is too small, `encode` returns `None` rather than panicking:
```rust
let mut tiny = [0u8; 1];
assert_eq!(ucobs::encode(&[0x01, 0x02], &mut tiny), None);
```
### Framing for transport
Append a `0x00` sentinel after encoding to delimit frames on a wire. Strip
it before decoding:
```rust
let data = [0x11, 0x00, 0x33];
// Encode and append sentinel
let mut frame = [0u8; 16];
let n = ucobs::encode(&data, &mut frame).unwrap();
frame[n] = 0x00;
let wire = &frame[..n + 1];
// Receive: strip sentinel, then decode
let cobs_data = &wire[..wire.len() - 1];
let mut out = [0u8; 16];
let m = ucobs::decode(cobs_data, &mut out).unwrap();
assert_eq!(&out[..m], &data);
```
### Parsing a stream of frames
Split a byte stream on `0x00` to extract individual COBS frames:
```rust
// Two frames separated by 0x00 sentinels
let stream = [
0x02, 0x11, 0x02, 0x33, 0x00, // frame 1: [0x11, 0x00, 0x33]
0x03, 0xAA, 0xBB, 0x00, // frame 2: [0xAA, 0xBB]
];
let mut out = [0u8; 16];
let frames: Vec<&[u8]> = stream.split(|&b| b == 0x00)
.filter(|f| !f.is_empty())
.collect();
let n = ucobs::decode(frames[0], &mut out).unwrap();
assert_eq!(&out[..n], &[0x11, 0x00, 0x33]);
// Buffer sizing
let max = ucobs::max_encoded_len(256); // 258
let n = ucobs::decode(frames[1], &mut out).unwrap();
assert_eq!(&out[..n], &[0xAA, 0xBB]);
```
### Compile-time encoding
`encode` is `const fn`, so you can build COBS-encoded tables at compile
time with zero runtime cost:
```rust
const PING: [u8; 2] = {
let mut buf = [0u8; 2];
match ucobs::encode(&[0x01], &mut buf) {
Some(_) => buf,
None => panic!("buffer too small"),
}
};
const ACK: [u8; 3] = {
let mut buf = [0u8; 3];
match ucobs::encode(&[0x06, 0x00], &mut buf) {
Some(_) => buf,
None => panic!("buffer too small"),
}
};
// Baked into the binary — no runtime encoding needed
assert_eq!(PING, [0x02, 0x01]);
assert_eq!(ACK, [0x02, 0x06, 0x01]);
```
### Error handling
Both `encode` and `decode` return `Option<usize>` — `None` on failure,
never panic:
```rust
let mut buf = [0u8; 8];
// Destination too small
assert_eq!(ucobs::encode(&[1, 2, 3], &mut buf[..1]), None);
// Malformed input (zero byte in encoded stream)
assert_eq!(ucobs::decode(&[0x00], &mut buf), None);
// Truncated frame (code byte promises more data than exists)
assert_eq!(ucobs::decode(&[0x05, 0x11], &mut buf), None);
// Empty input is valid
assert_eq!(ucobs::encode(&[], &mut buf), Some(1)); // encodes to [0x01]
assert_eq!(ucobs::decode(&[], &mut buf), Some(0)); // decodes to []
```
## API
| Function | Signature | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `encode` | `(src: &[u8], dest: &mut [u8]) -> Option<usize>` | COBS-encode `src` into `dest`. Returns byte count or `None` if buffer too small. |
| `encode` | `const fn(src: &[u8], dest: &mut [u8]) -> Option<usize>` | COBS-encode `src` into `dest`. Returns byte count or `None` if buffer too small. |
| `decode` | `(src: &[u8], dest: &mut [u8]) -> Option<usize>` | Decode COBS data. Returns byte count or `None` if input is malformed. |
| `max_encoded_len` | `const fn(src_len: usize) -> usize` | Maximum encoded size for a given input length. |
**Note:** The encoder does *not* append a trailing `0x00` sentinel. Append it
yourself when framing for transport.
## Minimum Supported Rust Version
The default build requires **Rust 1.93+** (for const `copy_from_slice`).
### `legacy-msrv` feature
If you're targeting a toolchain older than 1.93 (e.g. Xtensa), enable the
`legacy-msrv` feature to fall back to a manual byte copy in the encoder:
```toml
[dependencies]
ucobs = { version = "0.3", features = ["legacy-msrv"] }
```
All other optimizations (sub-slice scan, zero fast path, decode batch fill)
are available regardless of this feature. Only the encode copy phase is
affected — it uses a byte loop instead of `copy_from_slice`/memcpy.
## Testing
μCOBS has one of the most thorough test suites of any COBS implementation —
106 tests across 8 categories:
- **Canonical vectors** — every example from Cheshire & Baker 1999 (the original
COBS paper), plus the full Wikipedia vector set
- **External corpora** — vectors drawn from `cobs-c`, `nanocobs`, `cobs2-rs`,
Jacques Fortier's C implementation, and the Python `cobs` package
- **Cross-crate interop** — byte-for-byte validation against both `corncobs` and
`cobs` crates on randomized payloads up to 4 KB
- **Property-based tests** — 6 proptest suites covering round-trip correctness,
no-zero-in-output invariants, encoding properties, decoding properties,
structural/algebraic properties, and boundary-region behavior
- **Fuzz targets** — 3 `cargo-fuzz` harnesses (decode, round-trip, small-dest)
for continuous coverage of edge cases
- **Mutation testing** — `cargo-mutants` verifies that the test suite catches
injected bugs in every reachable code path
- **Boundary tests** — exhaustive coverage of 254/255-byte block boundaries,
multi-block splits, buffer-exact fits, and off-by-one dest sizes
- **Compile-time verification** — `const` assertions that validate encode
correctness at compile time
```sh
# Unit + property + interop tests

//! loop in the encoder. All other optimizations are unaffected.
//!
//! # Quick start

//! ```
//! let data = [0x01, 0x02, 0x03];
//! let max = ucobs::max_encoded_len(data.len()); // 4

//!

//! expects input **without** a trailing sentinel. Callers should append /
//! strip the sentinel themselves when framing for transport:
