In this specific case, since you know the length of `Args`,
you can pre-allocate an array of that size and loop through it
doing your initialization.
However, if you want really performant code, you should
allocate a static array on the stack outside of the function
and pass it in as a buffer.
I don't think I know the size of the arguments.
If I pass in "123" and MySpecialType('a'), the result should be:
assert(foo("123", MySpecialType('a')) ==
[MySpecialType('1'), MySpecialType('2'), MySpecialType('3'),
MySpecialType('a')]);
What should the length of the pre-allocated array be?
You know the static types of the arguments, so it is not
impossible. However, the more flexible you need to be, the more
complex your code will have to be, and it probably won't be worth
the added complexity. Anyway, sorry for derailing a bit. That's
not really your question.
Using Appender!MySpecialType might be marginally faster than ~=,
but from the looks of it you are already using Appender. I don't
know if there's much more you can do to speed up appending
without just rolling your own solution or restructuring your code.
