Rebytes – Recycled byte slice pool and buffer for Golang

Synopsis

    // Byte slice pool with 1k slice capacity, 100 pool capacity
    pool := rebytes.NewPool(1024, 100)
    byteSlice := pool.Get()
    pool.Put(byteSlice)

    // Like bytes.Buffer, but with dynamic memory managed by the pool
    buf, err := rebytes.NewBuffer(pool)
    buf.WriteString("Hello World")

Status

This software is considered ALPHA quality. Not recommended for production use.

Description

Package rebytes provides types that recycle bytes slices to reduce allocation and garbage collection:

• rebytes.Pool: a []byte pool that provides/recycles fixed capacity slices from a fixed-maximum-size pool.
• rebytes.Buffer: a bytes.Buffer analogue that dynamically gets/returns memory from a rebytes.Pool.
