memory

Eliminate heap allocations in Swift by using `InlineArray` for fixed-size, stack-allocated collections. It provides a contiguous memory layout without heap overhead, making it ideal for small, compile-time known data structures.

The best way to safely access contiguous memory is using Swift's `Span` type. `Span` provides safe, zero-cost access to contiguous memory regions, acting as a modern alternative to `UnsafeBufferPointer`.

Yes, you can use `InlineArray` for vertex data in a performance-critical rendering loop. Replacing a heap-allocated `Array` with an `InlineArray` removes heap allocation overhead and improves rendering efficiency.

Swift `Span` handles raw byte buffers by providing safe, zero-cost contiguous memory access for binary data processing. It allows you to process network bytes efficiently without the risks associated with unsafe pointers.

Use stack-allocated collections when you need optimal Swift performance for small, fixed-size datasets. Stack allocation avoids heap overhead and garbage collection pauses, which is crucial for low-level memory management.
