<h1 id="using-indirection-for-faster-message-passing"><a class="header" href="#using-indirection-for-faster-message-passing">Using indirection for faster message passing</a></h1>
<p>Message passing always involves copying the payload from the sender into a static variable and then from the static variable into the receiver. Thus sending a large buffer, like a <code>[u8; 128]</code>, as a message involves two expensive
<code>memcpy</code>s.</p>
<p>Indirection can minimize message passing overhead: instead of sending the buffer by value, one can send an owning pointer into the buffer.</p>
<p>One can use a global memory allocator to achieve indirection (<code>alloc::Box</code>, <code>alloc::Rc</code>, etc.), which requires using the nightly channel as of Rust v1.37.0, or one can use a statically allocated memory pool like <a href="https://docs.rs/heapless/latest/heapless/pool/index.html"><code>heapless::Pool</code></a>.</p>
<p>As this example of approach goes completely outside of RTIC resource model with shared and local the program would rely on the correctness of the memory allocator, in this case <code>heapless::pool</code>.</p>
<p>Here's an example where <code>heapless::Pool</code> is used to "box" buffers of 128 bytes.</p>
