While your revised code looks indeed more efficient to me (as it allows
ATOMfromstr() --- well, at least strFromStr(); I cannot tell about other
"extern" (varsized) atoms --- to reuse a allocated temporary buffer),
I wonder whether/why the original experienced double frees?
Called with v==NULL,
ATOMfromstr() --- again, I refer only to strFromStr(); FromStr functions for
other "extern" (varsized) atoms might behave differently; IMHO, we don't
have any "contract" or "policies" for FromStr() implementations --- would
allocate a buffer for the result,
ATOMput() copies the value from the buffer to the BAT heap,
and then the buffer is (was) freed.
Looks very sound to me.
What am I missing?
I would be thankful for any enlightment.
