stacker 0.1.10

//! A library to help grow the stack when it runs out of space.
//!
//! This is an implementation of manually instrumented segmented stacks where points in a program's
//! control flow are annotated with "maybe grow the stack here". Each point of annotation indicates
//! how far away from the end of the stack it's allowed to be, plus the amount of stack to allocate
//! if it does reach the end.
//!
//! Once a program has reached the end of its stack, a temporary stack on the heap is allocated and
//! is switched to for the duration of a closure.
//!
//! For a set of lower-level primitives, consider the `psm` crate.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! // Grow the stack if we are within the "red zone" of 32K, and if we allocate
//! // a new stack allocate 1MB of stack space.
//! //
//! // If we're already in bounds, just run the provided closure on current stack.
//! stacker::maybe_grow(32 * 1024, 1024 * 1024, || {
//!     // guaranteed to have at least 32K of stack
//! });
//! ```
