/// ### What it does
/// Checks for functions that use a lot of stack space.
///
/// This often happens when constructing a large type, such as an array with a lot of elements,
/// or constructing *many* smaller-but-still-large structs, or copying around a lot of large types.
///
/// This lint is a more general version of [`large_stack_arrays`](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/#large_stack_arrays)
/// that is intended to look at functions as a whole instead of only individual array expressions inside of a function.
///
/// ### Why is this bad?
/// The stack region of memory is very limited in size (usually *much* smaller than the heap) and attempting to
/// use too much will result in a stack overflow and crash the program.
/// To avoid this, you should consider allocating large types on the heap instead (e.g. by boxing them).
///
/// Keep in mind that the code path to construction of large types does not even need to be reachable;
/// it purely needs to *exist* inside of the function to contribute to the stack size.
/// For example, this causes a stack overflow even though the branch is unreachable:
/// ```rust,ignore
/// fn main() {
/// if false {
/// let x = [0u8; 10000000]; // 10 MB stack array
/// black_box(&x);
/// }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// ### Known issues
/// False positives. The stack size that clippy sees is an estimated value and can be vastly different
/// from the actual stack usage after optimizations passes have run (especially true in release mode).
/// Modern compilers are very smart and are able to optimize away a lot of unnecessary stack allocations.
/// In debug mode however, it is usually more accurate.
///
/// This lint works by summing up the size of all variables that the user typed, variables that were
/// implicitly introduced by the compiler for temporaries, function arguments and the return value,
/// and comparing them against a (configurable, but high-by-default).
///
/// ### Example
/// This function creates four 500 KB arrays on the stack. Quite big but just small enough to not trigger `large_stack_arrays`.
/// However, looking at the function as a whole, it's clear that this uses a lot of stack space.
/// ```no_run
/// struct QuiteLargeType([u8; 500_000]);
/// fn foo() {
/// // ... some function that uses a lot of stack space ...
/// let _x1 = QuiteLargeType([0; 500_000]);
/// let _x2 = QuiteLargeType([0; 500_000]);
/// let _x3 = QuiteLargeType([0; 500_000]);
/// let _x4 = QuiteLargeType([0; 500_000]);
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Instead of doing this, allocate the arrays on the heap.
/// This currently requires going through a `Vec` first and then converting it to a `Box`:
/// ```no_run
/// struct NotSoLargeType(Box<[u8]>);
///
/// fn foo() {
/// let _x1 = NotSoLargeType(vec![0; 500_000].into_boxed_slice());
/// // ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Now heap allocated.
/// // The size of `NotSoLargeType` is 16 bytes.
/// // ...
/// }
/// ```
