This often means that parts of the program that want to examine substrings have to manipulate the data in the string to do the right thing (a common operation is to single out a bit of text by saving away the character after it, nulling it out, operating on the substring and then replacing the character which was under the null). This is a pain and I remember a load of problems that I had with code in gas which almost got this right. Also, it's harder to grow and allocate null terminated strings efficiently. Obstacks provide all the functionality needed, but are too complicated, hence the sb. An sb is allocated by the caller, and is initialized to point to an sb_element. sb_elements are kept on a free lists, and used when needed, replaced onto the free list when unused. */ #define sb_max_power_two 30 /* don't allow strings more than 2^sb_max_power_two long */ /* structure of an sb */ typedef struct sb { char *ptr; /* points to the current block. */ int len; /* how much is used. */ int pot; /* the maximum length is 1<
