#include <cstringpool.h>

Description

Reference-counted storage for strings.

The purpose of this class is to allow saving memory on the storage of (largely) constant strings that occur in many instances during runtime: module names, gate names, property names, keys and values, etc.

const char* get

(

const char *

s

)

Returns pointer to the pooled copy of the given string, and increments its reference count. get() and release() must occur in pairs. Passing nullptr is OK.

const char* peek

(

const char *

s

)

const

Returns pointer to the pooled copy of the given string, or nullptr. Reference count is not incremented. Passing nullptr is OK.

void release

(

const char *

s

)

The parameter must a pointer returned by get(). It decrements the reference count and frees the pooled string if it reaches zero. Passing nullptr is OK.

void dump

const

For debug purposes.
