33 I had a couple of choices when deciding upon this data structure.
34 gas uses null terminated strings for all its internal work. This
35 often means that parts of the program that want to examine
36 substrings have to manipulate the data in the string to do the
37 right thing (a common operation is to single out a bit of text by
38 saving away the character after it, nulling it out, operating on
39 the substring and then replacing the character which was under the
40 null). This is a pain and I remember a load of problems that I had with
41 code in gas which almost got this right. Also, it's harder to grow and
42 allocate null terminated strings efficiently.
44 Obstacks provide all the functionality needed, but are too
45 complicated, hence the sb.
47 An sb is allocated by the caller, and is initialzed to point to an
48 sb_element. sb_elements are kept on a free lists, and used when
49 needed, replaced onto the free list when unused.
