[swift-users] Memory used by enums

[Jonathan Hull]

I had a quick question on the memory used by enums with associated values in the current implementation.  If I have an enum like the following:

enum MyEnum {
	case mostCommonlyUsed
	case somewhatCommon (Int,Int)
	case prettyRare (Int,Int,Int,Int,Int)
}

If this enum is going to be used by tens/hundreds of thousands of structs, am I actually saving any space by breaking out the rarer cases which store more data or is the footprint just equal to the largest case?

Thanks,
Jon
