150 This is (yet another one) String class for C++ programmers. It doesn't use
151 any of "advanced" C++ features (i.e. templates, exceptions, namespaces...)
152 thus you should be able to compile it with practicaly any C++ compiler.
153 This class uses copy-on-write technique, i.e. identical strings share the
154 same memory as long as neither of them is changed.
156 This class aims to be as compatible as possible with the new standard
157 std::string class, but adds some additional functions and should be
158 at least as efficient than the standard implementation.
160 Performance note: it's more efficient to write functions which take
161 "const String&" arguments than "const char *" if you assign the argument
164 It was compiled and tested under Win32, Linux (libc 5 & 6), Solaris 5.5.
167 - ressource support (string tables in ressources)
168 - more wide character (UNICODE) support
169 - regular expressions support

795 /** The string array uses it's knowledge of internal structure of the String
796 class to optimize string storage. Normally, we would store pointers to
797 string, but as String is, in fact, itself a pointer (sizeof(String) is
798 sizeof(char *)) we store these pointers instead. The cast to "String *"
799 is really all we need to turn such pointer into a string!
801 Of course, it can be called a dirty hack, but we use twice less memory
802 and this approach is also more speed efficient, so it's probably worth it.
804 Usage notes: when a string is added/inserted, a new copy of it is created,
805 so the original string may be safely deleted. When a string is retrieved
806 from the array (operator[] or Item() method), a reference is returned.
