Function length_value

pub fn length_value<I, O, N, E, F, G>(
    f: F,
    g: G,
) -> impl FnMut(I) -> IResult<I, O, E>
where
    I: Clone + InputLength + InputTake,
    N: ToUsize,
    F: Parser<I, N, E>,
    G: Parser<I, O, E>,
    E: ParseError<I>,

Gets a number from the first parser, takes a subslice of the input of that size, then applies the second parser on that subslice. If the second parser returns Incomplete, length_value will return an error.

Arguments

• f The parser to apply.
• g The parser to apply on the subslice.
