//! `Small Box` optimization: store small item on stack and fallback to heap for large item. //! //! # Usage //! //! First, add the following to your `Cargo.toml`: //! //! ```toml //! [dependencies] //! smallbox = "0.8" //! ``` //! //! Next, add this to your crate root: //! //! ```rust //! extern crate smallbox; //! ``` //! //! If you want this crate to work with dynamic-sized type, you can request it via: //! //! ```toml //! [dependencies] //! smallbox = { version = "0.8", features = ["coerce"] } //! ``` //! //! Currently `smallbox` by default links to the standard library, but if you would //! instead like to use this crate in a `#![no_std]` situation or crate, you can request this via: //! //! ```toml //! [dependencies.smallbox] //! version = "0.8" //! features = ["coerce"] //! default-features = false //! ``` //! //! //! # Feature Flags //! //! This crate has the following cargo feature flags: //! //! - `std` //! - Optional, enabled by default //! - Use libstd //! - If `std` feature flag is opted out, `alloc` crate //! will be linked, which requires nightly rust. //! //! - `coerce` //! - Optional //! - Require nightly rust //! - Allow automatic coersion from sized `SmallBox` to unsized `SmallBox`. //! //! //! # Unsized Type //! //! There are two ways to have an unsized `SmallBox`: Using `smallbox!()` macro or coercing from a sized `SmallBox` instance. //! //! Using the `smallbox!()` macro is the only option on stable rust. This macro will check the types of the expression and //! the expected type `T`. For any invalid type coersions, this macro invokes a compiler error. //! //! Once the feature `coerce` is enabled, sized `SmallBox<T>` can be coerced into `SmallBox<T: ?Sized>` if necessary. //! //! # Example //! //! Eliminate heap alloction for small items by `SmallBox`: //! //! ```rust //! use smallbox::SmallBox; //! use smallbox::space::S4; //! //! let small: SmallBox<_, S4> = SmallBox::new([0; 2]); //! let large: SmallBox<_, S4> = SmallBox::new([0; 32]); //! //! assert_eq!(small.len(), 2); //! assert_eq!(large.len(), 32); //! //! assert_eq!(*small, [0; 2]); //! assert_eq!(*large, [0; 32]); //! //! assert!(small.is_heap() == false); //! assert!(large.is_heap() == true); //! ``` //! //! ## Unsized type //! //! Construct with `smallbox!()` macro: //! //! ```rust //! #[macro_use] //! extern crate smallbox; //! //! # fn main() { //! use smallbox::SmallBox; //! use smallbox::space::*; //! //! let array: SmallBox<[usize], S2> = smallbox!([0usize, 1]); //! //! assert_eq!(array.len(), 2); //! assert_eq!(*array, [0, 1]); //! # } //! ``` //! //! With `coerce` feature: //! //! ```rust //! # #[cfg(feature = "coerce")] //! # { //! use smallbox::SmallBox; //! use smallbox::space::*; //! //! let array: SmallBox<[usize], S2> = SmallBox::new([0usize, 1]); //! //! assert_eq!(array.len(), 2); //! assert_eq!(*array, [0, 1]); //! # } //! ``` //! //! `Any` downcasting: //! //! ```rust //! #[macro_use] //! extern crate smallbox; //! //! # fn main() { //! use std::any::Any; //! use smallbox::SmallBox; //! use smallbox::space::S2; //! //! let num: SmallBox<Any, S2> = smallbox!(1234u32); //! //! if let Some(num) = num.downcast_ref::<u32>() { //! assert_eq!(*num, 1234); //! } else { //! unreachable!(); //! } //! # } //! ``` //! //! //! # Capacity //! //! The capacity is expressed by the size of type parameter `Space`, //! regardless of what actually the `Space` is. //! //! The crate provides some spaces in module `smallbox::space`, //! from `S1`, `S2`, `S4` to `S64`, representing `"n * usize"` spaces. //! Anyway, you can defind your own space type //! such as byte array `[u8; 64]`. #![cfg_attr(feature = "coerce", feature(unsize, coerce_unsized))] #![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), feature(cfg_doctest))] #![cfg_attr(all(not(feature = "std"), doctest), no_std)] #[cfg(not(any(feature = "std", doctest)))] extern crate alloc; #[cfg(all(not(feature = "std"), doctest))] extern crate core as std; mod smallbox; pub mod space; pub use crate::smallbox::SmallBox;
