Extrautils - Extra utility for Rust

announcements
1

I published a new crate named "extrautils" work for std and no_std, By default work only in std if you want use it in bare metal disable all feature and enable 'lowlevel' feature.

The crate offer rich of utils and macros and functions and modules, Theses offer flexibility and safety.

Install:
Run cargo add extrautils

Can you disclose how much of this is AI generated?

3

Docs are failing extrautils 0.1.0 - Docs.rs which doesn't give me confidence. That would be a good thing to fix before announcing.

4

Can you say what "rich utils and macros and functions and modules"?
And why would anyone need them?

I think this is basic information for such an announcement. And no, I don't want to fish around in some random GitHub repo to find out.

If anything this is a bad and blunt copy of code from several other crates, without attribution, here and there extended with some comments, but rarely more. It's a 7000+ line file added in a single commit titled "Add files via upload".

Best to stay away from this.

Even the license seems AI-generated and is not filled in:

/// A slab of memory for objects of a specific size.
struct Slab {
    free_list: Option<NonNull<FreeNode>>,
// In a real implementation, you'd also track the slab's memory region,
// how many objects are in use, etc.
}

By the way, instead of lowlevel feature there should be std default feature.

This whole thing looks like slop (and the Git repo is private or no longer exists).
And considering the comments from the user in this other thread they must be either a bot or a troll or someone using AI to write any of their recent posts...

You said you deleted the repo because it was AI-generated, but are you sure this too isn't AI generated? People do not really appreciate just AI code here. At least you have to review it.
