I've been working on a small library - an immutable C++ string. Now it is in usable state and has been put in use in a couple of real projects. Although it needs further polishing, I would like to know is there any interest in such a library?
Great stuff. I certainly think it would be useful to have a light- weight string.
Here is the link: http://conststring.sourceforge.net/
There's one possible problem I noticed, which is that an allocated buffer will be aligned properly for boost::detail::atomic_count but perhaps might not be aligned properly for char_t (or to whatever buffer_storage_alignment specifies). Let me apply the James Kanze test [*]: is it safe to create a const_string<double> on a SPARC? [*] See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8670> if you don't know what I'm talking about. Ben.
