/*
- PyString_FromStringAndSize() and PyString_FromString() try in certain cases
- to share string objects. When the size of the string is zero, these
- routines always return a pointer to the same string object; when the size
- is one, they return a pointer to an already existing object if the contents
- of the string is known. For PyString_FromString() this is always the case,
- for PyString_FromStringAndSize() this is the case when the first argument
- in not NULL.
-
- A common practice of allocating a string and then filling it in or changing
- it must be done carefully. It is only allowed to change the contents of
- the string if the object was gotten from PyString_FromStringAndSize() with
- a NULL first argument, because in the future these routines may try to do
- even more sharing of objects.
-
- The string in the `str' parameter does not have to be null-character
- terminated. (Therefore it is safe to construct a substring by using
- `PyString_FromStringAndSize(origstring, substrlen)'.)
-
- The parameter `size' denotes number of characters to allocate, not
- counting the null terminating character. If the `str' argument is
- not NULL, then it points to a of length `size'. For
- PyString_FromString, this string must be null-terminated.
-
- The member `op->ob_size' denotes the number of bytes of data in the string,
- not counting the null terminating character, and is therefore equal to the
- `size' parameter.
+ For both PyString_FromString() and PyString_FromStringAndSize(), the
+ parameter `size' denotes number of characters to allocate, not counting any
+ null terminating character.
+
+ For PyString_FromString(), the parameter `str' points to a null-terminated
+ string containing exactly `size' bytes.
+
+ For PyString_FromStringAndSize(), the parameter the parameter `str' is
+ either NULL or else points to a string containing at least `size' bytes. For
+ PyString_FromStringAndSize(), the string in the `str' parameter does not
+ have to be null-terminated. (Therefore it is safe to construct a substring
+ by calling `PyString_FromStringAndSize(origstring, substrlen)'.) If `str'
+ is NULL then PyString_FromStringAndSize() will allocate `size+1' bytes
+ (setting the last byte to the null terminating character) and you can fill in
+ the data yourself. If `str' is non-NULL then the resulting PyString object
+ must be treated as immutable and you must not fill in nor alter the data
+ yourself, since the strings may be shared.
+
+ The PyObject member `op->ob_size', which denotes the number of "extra items"
+ in a variable-size object, will contain the number of bytes allocated for
+ string data, not counting the null terminating character. It is therefore
+ equal to the equal to the `size' parameter (for PyString_FromStringAndSize())
+ or the length of the string in the `str' parameter (for PyString_FromString()).
