I was using
cargo bloat
and I saw duplicate functions in wire. After this PR, the duplicates were gone. Removing the generics in the parse and emit functions prevents monomorphization of these functions. Preventing monomorphization reduces the binary size of the library.cargo bloat --release --example server --filter smoltcp
:On main: 216.3KiB
On this branch: 202.5KiB
cargo bloat --release --example sixlowpan --filter smoltcp
:On main: 213.9KiB
On this branch: 199.0KiB
I know that this is for an example of
std
. However, the impact of code size will be smaller for embedded I suppose. The negative impact on user experience seems low since I didn't had to change much in the examples (only the ping example) and in the tests.
