24 // A StringView is a simple (address, size) pair that points to an
25 // existing read-only string. It's a convenience class used to prevent
26 // the creation of std::string() objects un-necessarily.
27 //
28 // Consider the two following functions:
29 //
30 // size_t count1(const std::string& str) {
31 // size_t count = 0;
32 // for (size_t n = 0; n < str.size(); ++n) {
33 // if (str[n] == '1') {
34 // count++;
35 // }
36 // }
37 // return count;
38 // }
39 //
40 // size_t count2(const StringView& str) {
41 // size_t count = 0;
42 // for (size_t n = 0; n < str.size(); ++n) {
43 // if (str[n] == '2') {
44 // count++;
45 // }
46 // }
47 // return count;
48 // }
49 //
50 // Then consider the following calls:
51 //
52 // size_t n1 = count1("There is 1 one in this string!");
53 // size_t n2 = count2("I can count 2 too");
54 //
55 // In the first case, the compiler will silently create a temporary
56 // std::string object, copy the input string into it (allocating memory in
57 // the heap), call count1() and destroy the std::string upon its return.
58 //
59 // In the second case, the compiler will create a temporary StringView,
60 // initialize it trivially before calling count2(), this results in
61 // much less generated code, as well as better performance.
62 //
63 // Generally speaking, always use a reference or pointer to StringView
64 // instead of a std::string if your function or method doesn't need to modify
65 // its input.
