Small String

May 4, 2017 ยท View on GitHub

Create strings of any length on the stack, automatically upgrading to the heap when they become larger than the buffer. Also allows converting from a String for free (i.e. without copying to the stack even if they're small enough).

Backed by smallvec.

// Default maximum size to store on the stack: 8 bytes
let stack: SmallString = "Hello!".into();

// Reuses allocation
let heap: String = "Hello!".into();
let still_heap: SmallString = heap.into();
