SRS String Functions

SRS 5.1 strings handling as examples of how to pass string pointers around.

Basic rules:

1. strings must be created before use. Null strings are an error condition in all cases.
2. strings are returned only if they are being created (== ajStrNew)
3. strings passed by reference can be changed (new strings, new location)
4. strings passed by value are constant
5. pos is the position in the string (0 .. len-1)
6. len is the length from pos
7. The string is stored at the end of the STRv data structure, so a single free clears all but it is not possible to change size merely by moving the string pointer so avoid this
8. The user must delete strings when they are going out of scope.
9. Temporary strings - similar model to SRS ?
10. Log everything with counters for use in reporting
11. Add a status report to the ajExit command
12. Automatic deletion and allowing null entries for some modifiers?

Function classes

Destructor

decrements count (destroys string if not referenced) and also destroys the string pointer to prevent accidental reuse.

All Functions

• STRv : pointer to string object
• (*) : special case - see code
