For example, -- including the overheads, a length 10 'ShortByteString' would take -- @16 + 12 = 28@ bytes on a 32bit platform and @32 + 16 = 48@ bytes on a -- 64bit platform. -- -- These overheads can all be reduced by 1 word (4 or 8 bytes) when the -- 'ShortByteString' or 'B.ByteString' is unpacked into another constructor. -- -- For example: -- -- > data ThingId = ThingId {-# UNPACK #-} !Int -- > {-# UNPACK #-} !ShortByteString -- -- This will take @1 + 1 + 3@ words (the @ThingId@ constructor + -- unpacked @Int@ + unpacked @ShortByteString@), plus the words for the -- string data. -- ** Heap fragmentation -- | With GHC, the 'B.ByteString' representation uses /pinned/ memory, -- meaning it cannot be moved by the GC. This is usually the right thing to -- do for larger strings, but for small strings using pinned memory can -- lead to heap fragmentation which wastes space. The 'ShortByteString' -- type (and the @Text@ type from the @text@ package) use /unpinned/ memory -- so they do not contribute to heap fragmentation. In addition, with GHC, -- small unpinned strings are allocated in the same way as normal heap -- allocations, rather than in a separate pinned area. -- * Introducing and eliminating 'ShortByteString's empty, singleton, pack, unpack, fromShort, toShort, -- * Basic interface snoc, cons, append, last, tail, uncons, head, init, unsnoc, null, length, -- * Transforming ShortByteStrings map, reverse, intercalate, -- * Reducing 'ShortByteString's (folds) foldl, foldl', foldl1, foldl1', foldr, foldr', foldr1, foldr1', -- ** Special folds all, any, concat, -- ** Generating and unfolding ByteStrings replicate, unfoldr, unfoldrN, -- * Substrings -- ** Breaking strings take, takeEnd, takeWhileEnd, takeWhile, drop, dropEnd, dropWhile, dropWhileEnd, breakEnd, break, span, spanEnd, splitAt, split, splitWith, stripSuffix, stripPrefix, -- * Predicates isInfixOf, isPrefixOf, isSuffixOf, -- ** Search for arbitrary substrings breakSubstring, -- * Searching ShortByteStrings -- ** Searching by equality elem, -- ** Searching with a predicate find, filter, partition, -- * Indexing ShortByteStrings index, indexMaybe, (!?), elemIndex, elemIndices, count, findIndex, findIndices, -- * Low level conversions -- ** Packing 'Foreign.C.String.CString's and pointers packCString, packCStringLen, -- ** Using ShortByteStrings as 'Foreign.C.String.CString's useAsCString, useAsCStringLen, ) where import Data.ByteString.Short.Internal
