Arnulf,

it looks quite similar, thanks for the hint. Do you know if they did
some formal analysis of the performance?


not directly, but you could contact Jeff Hobbs:

part of the people at activestate.com:

Jeff Hobbs, Senior Developer, Tcl
Jeff is the Core Release Manager for the Tcl language. ... At ActiveState, Jeff is the tech lead for Tcl technologies.
His email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hope that helps,

Hi Kay,
here is what the scripting language Tcl does use for dynamic string
handling:

/*
* The structure defined below is used to hold dynamic strings.  The only
* field that clients should use is the string field, accessible via the
* macro DStringValue.
*/
#define DSTRING_STATIC_SIZE 200
typedef struct DString {
   char *string;               /* Points to beginning of string:  either
                                * staticSpace below or a malloced array.
*/ int length;                 /* Number of non-NULL characters in the *
string. */
   int spaceAvl;               /* Total number of bytes available for
the * string and its terminating NULL char. */ char
staticSpace[DSTRING_STATIC_SIZE];
                               /* Space to use in common case where
string * is small. */
} DString;


It is used there for some time and seems to have proven well. I had only
a short look at your document, but if I have understood correctly, you
plan to do something similar.

+1
Just my 2 cents.

Hi guys,

as the performance of rtl::OUStrings (the UNO C/C++ String) is coming up
for discussions once a while (because of showing up in profiles e.g.
when loading a large spreadsheet), I wrote a short paper

http://udk.openoffice.org/common/man/concept/string_invest.html

investigating especially into construction&destruction and suggesting a
slightly modified variant, with improved behavior. So, if you have some
time left, I would like to get your feedback ;-).


Thanks in advance

Kay
