# Rustc Semver

This crate provides a minimalistic parser for Rust versions.

## Description

The parser will only accept Versions in the form

```text
<major>.<minor>.<patch>
```

and 3 special versions:

- `1.0.0-alpha`
- `1.0.0-alpha.2`
- `1.0.0-beta`

This covers every version of `rustc` that were released to date.

## Usage

There are 2 functions to create a `RustcVersion`:

1. `const RustcVersion::new(u32, u32, u32)`: This is mainly used to create
   constants
2. `RustcVersion::parse(&str)`: Usually you want to parse a version with this
   function

If you have a `RustcVersion` you can compare them, like you would expect:

```rust
assert!(RustcVersion::parse("1.42.0")? < RustcVersion::parse("1.43")?);
```

If you want to check whether one version meets another version according to the
[Caret Requirements], there is the method `RustcVersion::meets`:

```rust
assert!(RustcVersion::new(1, 48, 0).meets(RustcVersion::parse("1.42")?));
```
