The Program memory features work much the same way as on a regular
Arduino; placing read only data and strings in read only memory and
freeing heap for your application. The important difference is that on
the ESP8266 the literal strings are not pooled. This means that the same
literal string defined inside a ``F("")`` and/or ``PSTR("")`` will take
up space for each instance in the code. So you will need to manage the
freeing heap for your application.
In core versions prior to 2.7, the important difference is that on the
ESP8266 the literal strings are not pooled. This means that the same
literal string defined inside a ``F("")`` and/or ``PSTR("")`` will take up
space for each instance in the code. So you will need to manage the
duplicate strings yourself.
Starting from v2.7, this is no longer true: duplicate literal strings within
r/o memory are now handled.
There is one additional helper macro to make it easier to pass
``const PROGMEM`` strings to methods that take a ``__FlashStringHelper``
called ``FPSTR()``. The use of this will help make it easier to pool
