auto_buffer

In order to maximise efficiency, the core attempts to avoid the use of heap memory when formatting the message for dispatch to the back-end by using the STLSoft auto_buffer class template. auto_buffer presents an array-like interface, and uses an internal array for allocation in cases where the requested size does not exceed the internal array size. Specifically, in all cases where the total message length is 2048 bytes or less there will be no memory allocation.

Auto-generation of the application layer functions

The application layer functions are generated by the Ruby script make_hdrs.rb, which is located in the scripts sub-directory of the distribution. By default, the script generates functions from 1 to 32 parameters, but this can easily be adjusted to reduce or increase this number, and the files regenerated.
