E0492: Str fixed capacity exceeded

Explanation

Str(N) stores at most N UTF-8 bytes in its inline buffer. When a string literal's encoded byte length exceeds that fixed capacity, the value cannot be represented without truncation, so construction is rejected at compile time.

Likely cause

A literal assigned or passed as Str(N) is longer than N bytes. Increase the declared capacity, shorten the literal, or use the growable StrBuf type when the required capacity is not fixed.

Examples

Exceed a fixed string capacity

fn main() -> i32 {
    let value: Str(3) = "hello";
    @intCast(value.len())
}

Choose sufficient fixed capacity

fn main() -> i32 {
    let value: Str(5) = "hello";
    @intCast(value.len())
}
