Dear webkit-dev,
Some recent changes improved the way we can use string classes with literals. There are 3 new constructors for initializing a string from a literal: -String(ASCIILIteral): http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WTF/wtf/text/WTFString.h#L139 -String(const char[], ConstructFromLiteralTag) -AtomicString(const char[], ConstructFromLiteralTag) The differences with the regular char* constructor are: -no memory is allocated for the bytes of the string. -the characters are not copied to the heap -String(const char[], ConstructFromLiteralTag) does not even access the bytes of the string. Those constructors are faster and use less memory in some cases. I converted some of the generated code to use the new constructors. In the future, please consider using ASCIILiteral() whenever constructing a String, and ConstructFromLiteral for a AtomicString. cheers, Benjamin PS: I started a Wiki page about the efficient use of the string classes: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/EfficientStrings
