I had a couple of choices when deciding upon this data structure.
34
gas uses null terminated strings for all its internal work. This
35
often means that parts of the program that want to examine
36
substrings have to manipulate the data in the string to do the
37
right thing (a common operation is to single out a bit of text by
38
saving away the character after it, nulling it out, operating on
39
the substring and then replacing the character which was under the
40
null). This is a pain and I remember a load of problems that I had with
41
code in gas which almost got this right. Also, it's harder to grow and
42
allocate null terminated strings efficiently.
44
Obstacks provide all the functionality needed, but are too
45
complicated, hence the sb.
47
An sb is allocated by the caller, and is initialized to point to an
48
sb_element. sb_elements are kept on a free lists, and used when
49
needed, replaced onto the free list when unused.
