Following the discussion in #1195 this is the best I could come up with. The issue for me (and apparently a few other learners) was that the code needed to complete the exercise was not _missing_, but was rather there but wrong. In the end, what made the difference between this exercise and others (for me) was that in this exercise I was supposed to learn what to *expect* of an output. So I think it makes sense here to let the learner modify the tests and not the code itself. Fixes #1195 Signed-off-by: Daan Wynen <black.puppydog@gmx.de> # Conflicts: # info.toml

// This exercise explores the Cow, or Clone-On-Write type.
|
|
// Cow is a clone-on-write smart pointer.
|
|
// It can enclose and provide immutable access to borrowed data, and clone the data lazily when mutation or ownership is required.
|
|
// The type is designed to work with general borrowed data via the Borrow trait.
|
|
//
|
|
// This exercise is meant to show you what to expect when passing data to Cow.
|
|
// Fix the unit tests by checking for Cow::Owned(_) and Cow::Borrowed(_) at the TODO markers.

|
|
|
// I AM NOT DONE
