/* * upb - a minimalist implementation of protocol buffers. * * Copyright (c) 2010 Joshua Haberman. See LICENSE for details. * * This file defines a simple string type which is length-delimited instead * of NULL-terminated, and which has useful sharing semantics. * * The overriding goal of upb_string is to avoid memcpy(), malloc(), and free() * wheverever possible, while keeping both CPU and memory overhead low. * Throughout upb there are situations where one wants to reference all or part * of another string without copying. upb_string provides APIs for doing this. * * Characteristics of upb_string: * - strings are reference-counted. * - strings are immutable (can be mutated only when first created or recycled). * - if a string has no other referents, it can be "recycled" into a new string * without having to reallocate the upb_string. * - strings can be substrings of other strings (owning a ref on the source * string). * * Reference-counted strings have recently fallen out of favor because of the * performance impacts of doing thread-safe reference counting with atomic * operations. We side-step this issue by not performing atomic operations * unless the string has been marked thread-safe. * * Strings are expected to be 8-bit-clean, but "char*" is such an entrenched * idiom that we go with it instead of making our pointers uint8_t*. * * WARNING: THE GETREF, UNREF, AND RECYCLE OPERATIONS ARE NOT THREAD_SAFE * UNLESS THE STRING HAS BEEN MARKED SYNCHRONIZED! What this means is that if * you are logically passing a reference to a upb_string to another thread * (which implies that the other thread must eventually call unref of recycle), * you have two options: * * - create a copy of the string that will be used in the other thread only. * - call upb_string_get_synchronized_ref(), which will make getref, unref, and * recycle thread-safe for this upb_string. */ #ifndef UPB_STRING_H #define UPB_STRING_H #include #include #include #include "upb_atomic.h" #include "upb.h" #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif // All members of this struct are private, and may only be read/written through // the associated functions. struct _upb_string { // The pointer to our currently active data.
