Comment #1 on issue 757 by [email protected]: suggestion: faster
strings are required...
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=757
It is not clear which operations should be faster. Can you be more specific?
It seems the actual requirement is to do fast IO and binary data buffers.
Strings are not binary data, and they are not buffers (e.g., because they
are immutable).
V8 does support external strings (strings not in the heap) which avoid the
problem working with raw pointers in the presence of garbage collection.
It also supports different kinds of external "binary buffer arrays" (see
the ExternalArray types). These are not strings, but an embedder could add
functionality to match that of String.prototype, if that's what is needed.
