pub fn assert(ok: bool) voidInvokes detectable illegal behavior when ok is false.
In debug and safe modes, calls to this function are always generated, and the unreachable statement triggers a panic.
In fast and small modes, calls to this function are optimized away, and in fact the optimizer is able to use the assertion in its heuristics.
Inside a test block, it is best to use the testing module rather than this function, because this function may not detect a test failure in fast and small mode. Outside of a test block, this assert function is the correct function to use.
pub fn utf8Encode(c: u21, out: []u8) errorEncodes the given codepoint into a UTF-8 byte sequence. c: the codepoint. out: the out buffer to write to. Must have a len >= utf8CodepointSequenceLength(c). Errors: if c cannot be encoded in UTF-8. Returns: the number of bytes written to out.
pub fn parseCharLiteral(slice: []const u8) ParsedCharLiteralAsserts the slice starts and ends with single-quotes. Returns an error if there is not exactly one UTF-8 codepoint in between.
pub fn parseEscapeSequence(slice: []const u8, offset: *usize) ParsedCharLiteralParse an escape sequence from slice[offset..]. If parsing is successful, offset is updated to reflect the characters consumed.
pub fn parseWrite(writer: *Writer, bytes: []const u8) Writer.Error!ResultParses bytes as a Zig string literal and writes the result to the Writer type.
Asserts bytes has '"' at beginning and end.
pub fn parseAlloc(allocator: std.mem.Allocator, bytes: []const u8) ParseError![]u8Higher level API. Does not return extra info about parse errors. Caller owns returned memory.
