Twine - A lightweight data structure for efficiently representing the concatenation of temporary values as strings.
A Twine is a kind of rope, it represents a concatenated string using a binary-tree, where the string is the preorder of the nodes. Since the Twine can be efficiently rendered into a buffer when its result is used, it avoids the cost of generating temporary values for intermediate string results -- particularly in cases when the Twine result is never required. By explicitly tracking the type of leaf nodes, we can also avoid the creation of temporary strings for conversions operations (such as appending an integer to a string).
A Twine is not intended for use directly and should not be stored, its implementation relies on the ability to store pointers to temporary stack objects which may be deallocated at the end of a statement. Twines should only be used accepted as const references in arguments, when an API wishes to accept possibly-concatenated strings.
Twines support a special 'null' value, which always concatenates to form itself, and renders as an empty string. This can be returned from APIs to effectively nullify any concatenations performed on the result.
Implementation
Given the nature of a Twine, it is not possible for the Twine's concatenation method to construct interior nodes; the result must be represented inside the returned value. For this reason a Twine object actually holds two values, the left- and right-hand sides of a concatenation. We also have nullary Twine objects, which are effectively sentinel values that represent empty strings.
Thus, a Twine can effectively have zero, one, or two children. The
We maintain a number of invariants on Twine objects (FIXME: Why):
These invariants are check by
Efficiency Considerations
The Twine is designed to yield efficient and small code for common situations. For this reason, the concat() method is inlined so that concatenations of leaf nodes can be optimized into stores directly into a single stack allocated object.
In practice, not all compilers can be trusted to optimize concat() fully, so we provide two additional methods (and accompanying operator+ overloads) to guarantee that particularly important cases (cstring plus StringRef) codegen as desired.
