The code ain't the prettiest but it gets the job done 😅

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Style
    • Simplified error message handling across the codebase by removing unnecessary string conversions. Error messages are now passed as string literals rather than cloned or converted to owned strings. This change does not affect application behavior or error messages but improves internal efficiency and code readability. No user-facing functionality or error content is altered.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Walkthrough

This change uniformly removes unnecessary .to_owned() and similar string ownership conversions from error message strings passed to error constructors throughout the codebase. Instead of creating owned String objects from string literals, string slices are now passed directly, simplifying error message construction without altering logic, control flow, or error handling.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
stdlib/src/array.rs, stdlib/src/binascii.rs, ... Removed .to_owned()/.to_string() from error message strings, passing string slices directly to error constructors throughout all affected modules and files. No logic or control flow changes.
vm/src/builtins/asyncgenerator.rs, vm/src/builtins/bool.rs, ... Same pattern applied to builtins and VM modules: error messages now use string slices instead of owned strings for all error creation calls.
vm/src/stdlib/ctypes.rs, vm/src/stdlib/ctypes/base.rs, ... Uniform simplification of error message construction by eliminating unnecessary string allocations in ctypes and related modules.
(All other listed files) Consistent application of the same refactoring: error messages are passed as string slices, not owned strings, across all modules.

Possibly related PRs

  • RustPython/RustPython#5820: Also modifies stdlib/src/binascii.rs, introducing new arguments and logic to the hexlify function; related through changes to the same function and file.
  • RustPython/RustPython#5826: Focuses on removing unnecessary string ownership conversions in error message construction, including in stdlib/src/array.rs, closely related in approach and affected files.
  • RustPython/RustPython#5823: Modifies vm/src/builtins/function.rs, introducing new constructor logic; related by file and context, though with different focus.

Poem

A bunny hopped through fields of code,
Snipping .to_owned() where it showed.
Now strings are light, no clones in sight,
Error messages swift as flight!
With every slice, the code feels nice—
Simpler, leaner, pure delight!
