Currently a `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` can be created from any type that impls `Into<String>`. That includes `&str`, `String`, and `Cow<'static, str>`, which are reasonable. It also includes `&String`, which is pretty weird, and results in many places making unnecessary allocations for patterns like this: ``` self.fatal(&format!(...)) ``` This creates a string with `format!`, takes a reference, passes the reference to `fatal`, which does an `into()`, which clones the reference, doing a second allocation. Two allocations for a single string, bleh. This commit changes the `From` impls so that you can only create a `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` from `&str`, `String`, or `Cow<'static, str>`. This requires changing all the places that currently create one from a `&String`. Most of these are of the `&format!(...)` form described above; each one removes an unnecessary static `&`, plus an allocation when executed. There are also a few places where the existing use of `&String` was more reasonable; these now just use `clone()` at the call site. As well as making the code nicer and more efficient, this is a step towards possibly using `Cow<'static, str>` in `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage::{Str,Eager}`. That would require changing the `From<&'a str>` impls to `From<&'static str>`, which is doable, but I'm not yet sure if it's worthwhile. |
