Rename `BitSet` to `DenseBitSet` r? `@Mark-Simulacrum` as you requested this in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/134438#discussion_r1890659739 after such a confusion. This PR renames `BitSet` to `DenseBitSet` to make it less obvious as the go-to solution for bitmap needs, as well as make its representation (and positives/negatives) clearer. It also expands the comments there to hopefully make it clearer when it's not a good fit, with some alternative bitsets types. (This migrates the subtrees cg_gcc and clippy to use the new name in separate commits, for easier review by their respective owners, but they can obvs be squashed)
This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
