Different Types of Memory in Rust¶
Rust has 3 different types of memory: static memory, stack memory and heap memory.
Static variables live in static memory and is determined at compile time. It is suggested that you define large data variables as static so that they live in the static memory instead of stack memory to avoid stack overflow problems. Of course, another way is to put those variables into heap memory (but at the cost of slight performance loss).
