Cameron Mulhern 646a8bc96a Improves Rust code generation (#8564 )

* Fixes checks for serde features in flexbuffers crate

* Removes unused MapReaderIndexer use statement

* Fixes warning about nightly cfg usage

Enabling a cfg attribute through cargo::rustc-cfg in build.rs should be coupled with a cargo::rust-check-cfg value so that the compiler knows about the custom cfg. See: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/check-cfg/cargo-specifics.html#cargorustc-check-cfg-for-buildrsbuild-script.

* Migrates usage of deprecated float constants

This update fixes a compiler warning from use of the old constants.

Constants like EPSILON are now directly on the float primitives (e.g. f32::EPSILON) rather than in the f32 module (std::f32::EPSILON).

The new constants have existed since 1.43.0, which appears to be below the MSRV for the flatbuffers crate.

* Fixes incorrect key in flatbuffers Cargo.toml

The old code was using package.rust, which triggered a warning about an unused key:

warning: flatbuffers/rust/flatbuffers/Cargo.toml: unused manifest key: package.rust

The correct key for specifying MSRV is rust-version. See: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/rust-version.html#rust-version.

Flexbuffers

Flexbuffers is a schema-less binary format developed at Google. FlexBuffers can be accessed without parsing, copying, or allocation. This is a huge win for efficiency, memory friendly-ness, and allows for unique use cases such as mmap-ing large amounts of free-form data.

FlexBuffers' design and implementation allows for a very compact encoding, with automatic sizing of containers to their smallest possible representation (8/16/32/64 bits). Many values and offsets can be encoded in just 8 bits.

FlexBuffers supports Serde for automatically serializing Rust data structures into its binary format.

See Examples for Usage:

Flexbuffers is the schema-less cousin of Flatbuffers.
