Crate slimmer_box

slimmer_box: A packed alternative to Box<T> whose ‘fat’ pointer is ‘slimmer’.

SlimmerBox<T> is the main type exposed by this crate. Detailed documentation can be found there.

Other, less frequently useful types:

• CloneUnsized: a helper trait to also allow unsized types whose contents are clone. (like [T] and str) to be cloned around.
• SlimmerPointee: a helper trait implemented for all sized and unsized types for which a ‘fat’ pointer might be made slimmer.

Feature flags

• "std". Enabled by default. Disable the default features to use the crate in no_std environments. slimmer_box does require the alloc crate to be available.
• "rkyv". Enable support for the rkyv serialisation/deserialisation library.

MSRV

The minimum supported Rust version of slimmer_box is 1.58.1.
