Typically you'd address this lint by boxing the error. Is there a reason we shouldn't do that here? |

No particular reason from me. I don't have a good sense of how much we care about the error sizes, and I didn't expect that it would be a bottleneck, so I went with the easiest approach (of not changing the code). I also checked the redb examples, and they also took this shortcut (https://github.com/cberner/redb/pull/974/files). Boxing the error does seem better though. I need to figure out how to do this in an idiomatic way that interacts with thiserror. 160 bytes is indeed very big. EDIT: PR updated to stop ignoring errors. I'm not sure if there's a more idiomatic way of doing this. |
Errors from redb are 160 bytes long, which could potentially cause unexpected overhead.

The
ReadTransactionStillInUseerror variant of the redb error type is 160 bytes long, with most of its size coming from theredb::tree_store::TableTreetype.An alternative implementation would be to ignore the error or add a "clippy.toml" to increase the error threshold to 161, but 160 bytes is quite long for a
Resulttype, so boxing the error would likely be the better design.Note (for anyone reading the comment thread): This PR is a revised version of a PR that initially just ignored the clippy lint in the places it triggered from.
