This PR adds some new public APIs:
ip_mask_to_prefix_checked,ipv4_mask_to_prefix_checkedandipv6_mask_to_prefix_checked.Like in #203, the rationale for adding new functions that return an
Optioninstead is so that user's may unwrap the result to trigger a compile-time error if anything is wrong.An ugly wart of const is that the
forconstruct is not yet available, which means that I had to fall back to using awhileloop + loop variable for iteration inipv6_mask_to_prefix_checked.I understand if this change is a bit too much, as the const-ification now starts to enforce a coding style which feels a bit unidiomatic. Please, think this one through a bit and do come with feedback!
Edit: These APIs will allow us to add a const ditto of
IpNetwork::with_netmaskif we wish to do that, which is kind of nice 😊
