dragonfire:
- reads all the static libraries in one pass
- deduplicates the object files inside them based on their size and naming (Rust has its own, unique naming convention for object files -- pretty useful!)
- copies the duplicate objects into a new static library (usually called gstrsworkspace as its primary use is for the GStreamer ecosystem)
- removes the duplicates from the rest of the libraries
- updates the symbol table in each of the libraries with the bundled LLVM tools.

For the 6 months or so I’ve been quietly porting tmux from C to Rust. I’ve recently reached a big milestone: the code base is now 100% (unsafe) Rust. I’d like to share the process of porting the original codebase from ~67,000 lines of C code to ~81,000 lines of Rust (excluding comments and empty lines). You might be asking: why did you rewrite tmux in Rust? And yeah, I don’t really have a good reason. It’s a hobby project. Like gardening, but with more segfaults.

This crate provides routines for searching strings for matches of a regular expression (aka “regex”). The regex syntax supported by this crate is similar to other regex engines, but it lacks several features that are not known how to implement efficiently. This includes, but is not limited to, look-around and backreferences. In exchange, all regex searches in this crate have worst case O(m * n) time complexity, where m is proportional to the size of the regex and n is proportional to the size of the string being searched.
