# Description Our `ShellError` at the moment has a `std::mem::size_of<ShellError>` of 136 bytes (on AMD64). As a result `Value` directly storing the struct also required 136 bytes (thanks to alignment requirements). This change stores the `Value::Error` `ShellError` on the heap. Pro: - Value now needs just 80 bytes - Should be 1 cacheline less (still at least 2 cachelines) Con: - More small heap allocations when dealing with `Value::Error` - More heap fragmentation - Potential for additional required memcopies # Further code changes Includes a small refactor of `try` due to a type mismatch in its large match. # User-Facing Changes None for regular users. Plugin authors may have to update their matches on `Value` if they use `nu-protocol` Needs benchmarking to see if there is a benefit in real world workloads. **Update** small improvements in runtime for workloads with high volume of values. Significant reduction in maximum resident set size, when many values are held in memory. # Tests + Formatting |

nu-protocol
The nu-protocol crate holds the definitions of structs/traits that are used throughout Nushell. This gives us one way to expose them to many other crates, as well as make these definitions available to each other, without causing mutually recursive dependencies.
