emilib::StringInterner Class Reference

#include <string_interning.hpp>

Public Member Functions
const char *	intern (const std::string &str)
	Not thread-safe. The allocated string will be freed when this StringInterner dies.

Detailed Description

The StringInterner will allocate exactly one string for any unique input. This means that calling intern() twice with the same characters will result in the same pointer.

This is great for two things:

• Lightweight storage of string using const char* instead of std::string
• Cheaply compare const char* for equality without memcmp or std::string::operator==
