Module string_intern 

Thread-safe string interning pool for Name construction. Thread-safe string interning pool for Name construction.

The kernel frequently creates Name::Str values from string literals. Interning them saves allocation: each unique string is stored only once, and callers receive a cheap Copy handle (InternedStr) that can be resolved back to a &'static str at any time.

Design

• Global singleton via std::sync::OnceLock<Arc<Mutex<InternPool>>>.
• InternedStr is a 32-bit index — fits in a register, implements Copy.
• resolve() returns &'static str by leaking pool-owned strings exactly once per unique value (the leaked allocation lives for the program lifetime, matching the static lifetime contract).

Example

use oxilean_kernel::string_intern::{intern, resolve};

let h1 = intern("hello");
let h2 = intern("hello");
assert_eq!(h1, h2);
assert_eq!(resolve(h1), "hello");
