Conceptually, a + * Unicode string is an array of 16-bit quantities organized as a + * sequence of properly formed UTF-8 characters. There is a one-to-one + * map between Unicode and UTF characters. Because Unicode characters + * have a fixed width, operations such as indexing operate on Unicode + * data. The String object is optimized for the case where each UTF char + * in a string is only one byte. In this case, we store the value of + * numChars, but we don't store the Unicode data (unless Tcl_GetUnicode + * is explicitly called). + * + * The String object type stores one or both formats. The default + * behavior is to store UTF. Once Unicode is calculated by a function, it + * is stored in the internal rep for future access (without an additional + * O(n) cost). + * + * To allow many appends to be done to an object without constantly + * reallocating the space for the string or Unicode representation, we + * allocate double the space for the string or Unicode and use the + * internal representation to keep track of how much space is used vs. + * allocated. + * + * Copyright (c) 1995-1997 Sun Microsystems, Inc. + * Copyright (c) 1999 by Scriptics Corporation. + * + * See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution of + * this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. + */ + +/* + * The following structure is the internal rep for a String object.

To optimize string + * length and indexing operations, this structure also stores the number of + * characters (same of UTF and Unicode!) once that value has been computed. + * + * Under normal configurations, what Tcl calls "Unicode" is actually UTF-16 + * restricted to the Basic Multilingual Plane (i.e. U+00000 to U+0FFFF).
