This is a header only C++ string implementation that supports Short String Optimisation(SSO) and Copy On Write (COW) for long string. The aim of this repository is for learning purposes that prioritises readability.
- Short String Optimisation:
- No allocation for sting with less than 22 (non-inclusive of
\0) characters.
- Copy on Write:
- Lazily copy long string (more than 256 characters) only when writer operations are invoked.
- Utilises custom lock-free reference counting.
- Allow for custom allocator
