Feature request: IPNetwork.Parse(ReadOnlySpan<char>)

[Bond-009]

Most if not all Parse methods in netstandard2.1 accept ReadOnlySpan<char>

Dear Bond-009,

Thanks for your feedback. I'll have a look at this if time permits.

Does this need to be anything more than converting to a string and calling through to Parse(string)?

[lduchosal]

@billpg : The other way around. We may code Parse to use ROS and call it from Parse(string ..) string.AsSpan()..,.

This may give a direction

Span<T>/ReadOnlySpan<T> are special API that required heavy runtime modifications to offer improvements in very high performance critical scenarios. Not everyone needs its power but for those that needs it, it is a game changer.

I do agree with this article conclusion, do we really need it ? may be if time permits

Gotcha. The task is to refactor the various Parse functions to use ROSc and add string functions.
