Hey everyone, Here are the results of the survey that I ran for the name of a potential immutable byte sequence data structure; each line contains the name that was entered and the number of times that it appeared: chain: 9 boost::text: 3 sequence: 2 string: 2 atomic_buffer: 1 blob: 1 buffer: 1 bytes: 1 chord (from the Latin chorda meaning string): 1 const_buf: 1 const_string: 1 data_block: 1 fixed_sequence<char>: 1 frame: 1 immutable::string: 1 immutable_sequence: 1 imstring: 1 rod: 1 rope: 1 sequence<char>: 1 strand: 1 tier: 1 whole_buffer: 1 wire: 1 yarn: 1 TOTAL: 37 To be transparent, I have also attached the script that I used to generate the above, which includes the raw results pasted inside a multi-line string. (Yes Artyom I included your vote in the tally.) I apologize for any problems you might have had with this service. I considered using another free service online which would be better suited for this purpose, but I wasn't sure of how many responses there would be and most services put a cap on 100 responses for their free services, whereas the service I have access to through my university has no such restriction. Since the actual number of responses was less than half of 100 I will know for future reference that one of the other free services should work just fine for this purpose. Thanks to everyone who responded! Cheers, Greg
