Function nom::multi::length_count

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

Gets a number from the first parser, then applies the second parser that many times.

Arguments

• f The parser to apply to obtain the count.
• g The parser to apply repeatedly.
