❔ Benefit of ref structs
Hey folks!
I've been trying for a bit to understand the purpose of using a ref struct over a regular struct. I understand that it can only live on the stack, which is enforced via a set of usage rules, but regular structs could do that too if used properly.
I asked my good old friend chatgpt to help me understand it, and the answer I got was basically that the compiler is able to optimize the usage of ref structs better given its restrictions. Is this accurate? Is it the only benefit?
