dstr
====
Reference counted dynamic string and string containers
Use it to ease the work with strings in C. Doxygen documentation is available by generating it from source.
Author: John Abrahamsen .
Its simple:
```C
dstr *str = dstr_with_initial("concat me");
dstr *str2 = dstr_with_initial(" to me");
dstr_append(str, str2);
printf("%s", dstr_from_dstr_to_cstr(str));
dstr_decref(str);
dstr_decref(str2);
```
Containers
----------
Implementations of both linked lists, dstr_list, and vectors, dstr_vector, are provided.
It's also simple:
```C
dstr_vector *vector = dstr_vector_new();
dstr_vector_push_back_decref(vector, dstr_with_initial("First string"));
dstr_vector_push_back_decref(vector, dstr_with_initial("Second string"));
while(!dstr_vector_is_empty(vector)){
dstr_print(dstr_vector_back(vector));
dstr_vector_pop_back(vector);
}
dstr_vector_decref(vector);
```
No more memory management is needed. dstr library provides functions for containers
that will either decrement reference or not, depending on usage.
Performance
-----------
All benchmarks are done on Ubuntu 11.04 and Lenovo W510.
Strings:
```C
dstr *str = dstr_new();
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++){
dstr_append_cstr(str, "concat me onto something...");
}
dstr_decref(str);
```
Without DST_MEM_CLEAR defined (zero bytes previous used string buffers before
freeing):
Test: test_some_concating ... time used for 1000000 appends: 0 seconds 50 milliseconds. passed
With DST_MEM_CLEAR:
Test: test_some_concating ... time used for 1000000 appends: 0 seconds 660 milliseconds. passed
Vectors:
```C
dstr *str = dstr_with_initial("append me");
dstr_vector *vec = dstr_vector_new();
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++){
dstr_vector_push_back(vec, str);
}
dstr_vector_decref(vec);
dstr_decref(str);
```
Without DSTR_MEM_SECURITY (boundary protection for operations get/set/remove operations):
- Test: test_vector_append_speed ... time used for 1000000 push_back to vector: 0 seconds 60 milliseconds. passed
- Test: test_vector_append_speed_no_prealloc ... time used for 1000000 push_back to vector: 0 seconds 70 milliseconds. passed
- Test: test_vector_append_front_speed ... time used for 20000 push_front to vector: 2 seconds 140 milliseconds. passed
With DSTR_MEM_SECURITY defined:
- Test: test_vector_append_speed ... time used for 1000000 push_back to vector: 0 seconds 70 milliseconds. passed
- Test: test_vector_append_speed_no_prealloc ... time used for 1000000 push_back to vector: 0 seconds 70 milliseconds. passed
- Test: test_vector_append_front_speed ... time used for 20000 push_front to vector: 2 seconds 140 milliseconds. passed
Lists:
- Test: test_list_speed ... time used for 1000000 insertion to list: 0 seconds 110 milliseconds. passed
