8 // WHAT: |
|
9 // A version of std::basic_string that provides 2-byte characters even when |
|
10 // wchar_t is not implemented as a 2-byte type. You can access this class as |
|
11 // string16. We also define char16, which string16 is based upon. |
|
12 // |
|
13 // WHY: |
|
14 // On Windows, wchar_t is 2 bytes, and it can conveniently handle UTF-16/UCS-2 |
|
15 // data. Plenty of existing code operates on strings encoded as UTF-16. |
|
16 // |
|
17 // On many other platforms, sizeof(wchar_t) is 4 bytes by default. We can make |
|
18 // it 2 bytes by using the GCC flag -fshort-wchar. But then std::wstring fails |
|
19 // at run time, because it calls some functions (like wcslen) that come from |
|
20 // the system's native C library -- which was built with a 4-byte wchar_t! |
|
21 // It's wasteful to use 4-byte wchar_t strings to carry UTF-16 data, and it's |
|
22 // entirely improper on those systems where the encoding of wchar_t is defined |
|
23 // as UTF-32. |
|
24 // |
|
25 // Here, we define string16, which is similar to std::wstring but replaces all |
|
26 // libc functions with custom, 2-byte-char compatible routines. It is capable |
|
27 // of carrying UTF-16-encoded data. |

|
128 // std::basic_string<> in GNU libstdc++ contains a static data member, |
|
129 // _S_empty_rep_storage, to represent empty strings. When an operation such |
|
130 // as assignment or destruction is performed on a string, causing its existing |
|
131 // data member to be invalidated, it must not be freed if this static data |
|
132 // member is being used. Otherwise, it counts as an attempt to free static |
|
133 // (and not allocated) data, which is a memory error. |
|
134 // |
|
135 // Generally, due to C++ template magic, _S_empty_rep_storage will be marked |
|
136 // as a coalesced symbol, meaning that the linker will combine multiple |
|
137 // instances into a single one when generating output. |
|
138 // |
|
139 // If a string class is used by multiple shared libraries, a problem occurs. |
|
140 // Each library will get its own copy of _S_empty_rep_storage. When strings |
|
141 // are passed across a library boundary for alteration or destruction, memory |
|
142 // errors will result. GNU libstdc++ contains a configuration option, |
|
143 // --enable-fully-dynamic-string (_GLIBCXX_FULLY_DYNAMIC_STRING), which |
|
144 // disables the static data member optimization, but it's a good optimization |
|
145 // and non-STL code is generally at the mercy of the system's STL |
|
146 // configuration. Fully-dynamic strings are not the default for GNU libstdc++ |
|
147 // libstdc++ itself or for the libstdc++ installations on the systems we care |
|
148 // about, such as Mac OS X and relevant flavors of Linux. |
|
149 // |
|
150 // See also http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24196 . |
|
151 // |
|
152 // To avoid problems, string classes need to be explicitly instantiated only |
|
153 // once, in exactly one library. All other string users see it via an "extern" |
|
154 // declaration. This is precisely how GNU libstdc++ handles |
|
155 // std::basic_string<char> (string) and std::basic_string<wchar_t> (wstring). |
|
156 // |
|
157 // This also works around a Mac OS X linker bug in ld64-85.2.1 (Xcode 3.1.2), |
|
158 // in which the linker does not fully coalesce symbols when dead code |
|
159 // stripping is enabled. This bug causes the memory errors described above |
|
160 // to occur even when a std::basic_string<> does not cross shared library |
|
161 // boundaries, such as in statically-linked executables. |
|
162 // |
|
