I'm quite not sure how one would go about empirically measuring something like that - at least in the general case. It might be an interesting research topic. So no, unfortunately I don't really have hard evidence for this.
I just know that of all the C libraries I've looked at, in my personal experience it seems to be a very common phenomenon to copy or reimplement code that in Rust you would just import and re-use. It's just a pattern that one notices frequently when it comes to C libraries, especially crossplatform ones that can't rely exclusively on the existence of a Linux-like package manager. If you want specific examples, the ones that pop to mind are: * zchunk and deltarpm both reimplement / "bundle" multiple different hashing algorithms * libcomps implements about 4 different relatively common data structures * GTK appears to contain a bundled, forked copy of the CRoaring library _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
