🌀 index_permute

A minimal, in-place, and non-cloning array permutation library for Rust.

This crate allows you to reorder a slice in place by an index array, even when the element type is not Clone or Copy. It ensures safety via a wrapper type PermuteIndex that checks index validity ahead of time.

---

✨ Features

• ✅ In-place permutation of non-Copy, non-Clone data.
• ✅ Memory-safe: no element dropped or cloned during permutation.
• ✅ Index validation: ensures the index is a true permutation (0..N).
• ✅ Safe, ergonomic API.
• ✅ parallel feature is defined, but it has limited speedup due to it's memory-bound nature. On benchmarks, it shows a 1.3x speedup on a 10 million element array.

Example

use index_permute::PermuteIndex;
let index = PermuteIndex::try_new(&[2, 0, 1]).unwrap();
let mut data = vec![10, 20, 30];
index_permute::order_by_index_inplace(&mut data, index);
assert_eq!(data, vec![30, 10, 20]);
