Module header_pool 

Header buffer pool for zero-allocation header encoding.

Provides a pool of pre-allocated 11-byte header buffers that can be reused across frame sends to avoid per-frame allocations.

Design

The pool uses thread-local storage with round-robin allocation:

• Each thread gets its own pool of 16 buffers
• No locking or atomic operations on the hot path
• Headers are overwritten in a circular fashion

Usage

use procwire_client::protocol::header_pool::HeaderPool;

let mut pool = HeaderPool::new();
let buf = pool.acquire();
// Use buf for header encoding...

Note

Since Header::encode() already returns a stack-allocated [u8; 11], the main benefit of this pool is for scenarios where you need to hold multiple headers simultaneously or pass them across async boundaries.

Structs
