[section Introduction]
|
|
|
|
This library provides a dynamically resizable string of characters with
|
|
compile-time fixed capacity and contiguous embedded storage in which the
|
|
characters are placed within the string object itself. Its API closely
|
|
resembles that of `std::string`

|
|
[section Motivation]
|
|
|
|
A fixed capacity string is useful when:
|
|
|
|
* Memory allocation is not possible, e.g., embedded environments without a free
|
|
store, where only a stack and the static memory segment are available.
|
|
* Memory allocation imposes an unacceptable performance penalty.
|
|
e.g., with respect to latency.
|
|
* Allocation of objects with complex lifetimes in the static-memory
|
|
segment is required.
|
|
* A dynamically-resizable string is required within `constexpr` functions.
|
|
* The storage location of the static_vector elements is required to be
|
|
within the string object itself (e.g. to support memcopy for serialization
|
|
purposes).
|
|

|
[section Design]
|
|
|
|
The over-arching design goal is to resemble the interface and behavior of
|
|
`std::string` as much as possible. When any operation would exceed the
|
|
maximum allowed size of the string, `std::length_error` is thrown. All
|
|
algorithms which throw exceptions provide the strong exception safety
|
|
guarantee.

|
[section Iterators]
|
|
|
|
The iterator invalidation rules are different than those for `std::string`,
|
|
since:
|
|
|
|
* Moving a string invalidates all iterators
|
|
* Swapping two strings invalidates all iterators
