258 | # Avoid Monomorphization | ||
259 | |||
260 | Rust uses monomorphization to compile generic code, meaning that for each instantiation of a generic functions with concrete types, the function is compiled afresh, *per crate*. | ||
261 | This allows for exceptionally good performance, but leads to increased compile times. | ||
262 | Runtime performance obeys 80%/20% rule -- only a small fraction of code is hot. | ||
263 | Compile time **does not** obey this rule -- all code has to be compiled. | ||
264 | For this reason, avoid making a lot of code type parametric, *especially* on the boundaries between crates. | ||
265 | |||
266 | ```rust | ||
267 | // Good | ||
268 | fn frbonicate(f: impl FnMut()) { | ||
269 | frobnicate_impl(&mut f) | ||
270 | } | ||
271 | fn frobnicate_impl(f: &mut dyn FnMut()) { | ||
272 | // lots of code | ||
273 | } | ||
274 | |||
275 | // Not as good | ||
276 | fn frbonicate(f: impl FnMut()) { | ||
277 | // lots of code | ||
278 | } | ||
279 | ``` | ||
280 | |||
281 | Avoid `AsRef` polymorphism, it pays back only for widely used libraries: | ||
282 | |||
283 | ```rust | ||
284 | // Good | ||
285 | fn frbonicate(f: &Path) { | ||
286 | } | ||
287 | |||
288 | // Not as good | ||
