A quite simple implementation of a string interner as a
AHashMap<StringHeapData, StringIndex>
lookup table. Seems to be broken and breaking tests, probably for a good reason. Ideally I would like the lookup table to not takeStringHeapData
as the key and instead take something like&'a str
but that would require a lifetime for the heap. Far from mergeable as is.Warning
Needs to be implemented using a
HashTable<...>
instead. SeeMap
/Set
for reference.Greatly speeds up operations where there are lots of strings.
