#ifndef BASE_STRING16_H_
#define BASE_STRING16_H_

// WHAT:
// A version of std::basic_string that provides 2-byte characters even when
// wchar_t is not implemented as a 2-byte type. You can access this class as
// string16. We also define char16, which string16 is based upon.
//
// WHY:
// On Windows, wchar_t is 2 bytes, and it can conveniently handle UTF-16/UCS-2
// data. Plenty of existing code operates on strings encoded as UTF-16.
//
// On many other platforms, sizeof(wchar_t) is 4 bytes by default. We can make
// it 2 bytes by using the GCC flag -fshort-wchar. But then std::wstring fails
// at run time, because it calls some functions (like wcslen) that come from
// the system's native C library -- which was built with a 4-byte wchar_t!
// It's wasteful to use 4-byte wchar_t strings to carry UTF-16 data, and it's
// entirely improper on those systems where the encoding of wchar_t is defined
// as UTF-32.
//
// Here, we define string16, which is similar to std::wstring but replaces all
// libc functions with custom, 2-byte-char compatible routines. It is capable
// of carrying UTF-16-encoded data.

// The string class will be explicitly instantiated only once, in string16.cc.
//
// std::basic_string<> in GNU libstdc++ contains a static data member,
// _S_empty_rep_storage, to represent empty strings.  When an operation such
// as assignment or destruction is performed on a string, causing its existing
// data member to be invalidated, it must not be freed if this static data
// member is being used.  Otherwise, it counts as an attempt to free static
// (and not allocated) data, which is a memory error.
//
// Generally, due to C++ template magic, _S_empty_rep_storage will be marked
// as a coalesced symbol, meaning that the linker will combine multiple
// instances into a single one when generating output.
//
// If a string class is used by multiple shared libraries, a problem occurs.
// Each library will get its own copy of _S_empty_rep_storage.  When strings
// are passed across a library boundary for alteration or destruction, memory
// errors will result.  GNU libstdc++ contains a configuration option,
// --enable-fully-dynamic-string (_GLIBCXX_FULLY_DYNAMIC_STRING), which
// disables the static data member optimization, but it's a good optimization
// and non-STL code is generally at the mercy of the system's STL
// configuration.  Fully-dynamic strings are not the default for GNU libstdc++
// libstdc++ itself or for the libstdc++ installations on the systems we care
// about, such as Mac OS X and relevant flavors of Linux.
//
// See also http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24196 .
//
// To avoid problems, string classes need to be explicitly instantiated only
// once, in exactly one library.  All other string users see it via an "extern"
// declaration.  This is precisely how GNU libstdc++ handles
// std::basic_string<char> (string) and std::basic_string<wchar_t> (wstring).
//
// This also works around a Mac OS X linker bug in ld64-85.2.1 (Xcode 3.1.2),
// in which the linker does not fully coalesce symbols when dead code
// stripping is enabled.  This bug causes the memory errors described above
// to occur even when a std::basic_string<> does not cross shared library
// boundaries, such as in statically-linked executables.
//
// TODO(mark): File this bug with Apple and update this note with a bug number.
