PyAccu doesn't use a Unicode buffer, but a list of strings.
PyUnicode_Join() is used to compact the list. PyAccu uses an hardcoded
limit of 100,000 items before compacting.
PyUnicodeWriter has a different design, it gives access to the buffer.
So functions like PyUnicode_WRITE() can be used directly. The design
allows a little bit optimizations. Example:
- s = PyUnicode_FromString("[");
- if (s == NULL || _PyAccu_Accumulate(&acc, s))
+ if (_PyUnicodeWriter_WriteChar(&writer, '[') < 0)
In list_repr(), it shouldn't make a big difference.
But it helps me in str%args and str.format(args) to avoid large
temporary strings. For example, "%.100s" writes directly padding into
the buffer, instead of having to allocate a long string, copy
characters, and then destroy the padding string.
