Summary of Changes

  • The Issue: The native_touppercase and native_tolowercase functions in src/stdlib/text.rs contained duplicated logic for checking if a string was already in the desired case before applying the case transformation.
  • The Rational: Improved maintainability by adhering to the DRY principle and reducing near-duplicate logic.
  • The Solution: Implemented a unified generic function change_case_if_needed to replace the type-specific fast-path bounds checking variants.

Verification Checklist

  • cargo fmt executed and passed.
  • cargo clippy returned no warnings or errors.
  • All cargo test suites passed (100% success rate).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR refactors uppercase and lowercase text handling in src/stdlib/text.rs by introducing a shared private helper change_case_if_needed that avoids allocation when case transformation would not change any characters. Both native_touppercase and native_tolowercase now delegate to this helper, eliminating duplicated per-function fast-path logic.

Changes

Case conversion helper refactoring

Layer / File(s) Summary
Case conversion helper and function updates
src/stdlib/text.rs
Added generic helper change_case_if_needed that performs a trial case transformation and returns the original Arc<str> if unchanged, otherwise returns the transformed string. Both native_touppercase and native_tolowercase now use this helper to replace their duplicated fast-path checks.

Poem

A little helper hops on by,
To catch when case won't change (oh my!),
Two functions now share the same sprint,
No waste on strings that can't be different. 🐇✨

Pull request overview

This PR refactors the text stdlib’s casing builtins by consolidating the shared “fast-path” logic (skip allocation if the string is already in the target case) into a single helper function, reducing duplicated code in touppercase/tolowercase.

Changes:

  • Added a shared helper change_case_if_needed to determine whether a casing transformation would change the input.
  • Updated native_touppercase and native_tolowercase to use the shared helper instead of duplicated per-function logic.

Consider adding tests for the case-conversion optimization.

While the refactoring correctly preserves behavior and all existing tests pass, consider adding unit tests that explicitly verify:

  • Already-uppercase strings return the same Arc (no allocation)
  • Already-lowercase strings return the same Arc (no allocation)
  • Mixed-case strings are transformed correctly
  • Unicode expansion cases (e.g., "ßeta".to_uppercase() → "SSETA")

This would document the optimization behavior and prevent future regressions.

📋 Example test cases
#[test]
fn test_touppercase_already_upper() {
    let upper = Arc::from("HELLO");
    let result = native_touppercase(vec![Value::Text(Arc::clone(&upper))]).unwrap();
    if let Value::Text(result_text) = result {
        assert_eq!(result_text.as_ref(), "HELLO");
        // Optimization: should return same Arc
        assert!(Arc::ptr_eq(&upper, &result_text));
    } else {
        panic!("Expected text");
    }
}

#[test]
fn test_tolowercase_already_lower() {
    let lower = Arc::from("hello");
    let result = native_tolowercase(vec![Value::Text(Arc::clone(&lower))]).unwrap();
    if let Value::Text(result_text) = result {
        assert_eq!(result_text.as_ref(), "hello");
        // Optimization: should return same Arc
        assert!(Arc::ptr_eq(&lower, &result_text));
    } else {
        panic!("Expected text");
    }
}

#[test]
fn test_touppercase_transforms() {
    let result = native_touppercase(vec![Value::Text(Arc::from("hello"))]).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(result, Value::Text(Arc::from("HELLO")));
}

#[test]
fn test_touppercase_unicode_expansion() {
    let result = native_touppercase(vec![Value::Text(Arc::from("ßeta"))]).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(result, Value::Text(Arc::from("SSETA")));
}
