Cross-posting here. I would appreciate any feedback. (Whether to reply in this or that thread is up to you.) Thanks


struct Token
{
    TokenType type;
    string content; // type may as well be template parameter
    Area loc;   // basically: ((x1, y1), (x2, y2))
}

That's how my Token look like. The 2 or 3 times every token get's copied isn't worth a heap allocation with small type like this.
Yes, except that the array of tokens for big files requires a lot of **continuous** space (13.5M for std.datetime, up to 2M for a few others in phobos & druntime). The array of references would 4 times less. Out of memory usually happens when the system cannot find a big enough chunck of memory, not when there is no available memory.

On the contrary, I think that 10-20M on rare cases is not too much.

Why I use the array I'll describe in the next post.
