57 // A Stringpool is a pool of unique strings. It provides the
58 // following features:
60 // Every string in the pool is unique. Thus, if you have two strings
61 // in the Stringpool, you can compare them for equality by using
62 // pointer comparison rather than string comparison.
64 // There is a key associated with every string in the pool. If you
65 // add strings to the Stringpool in the same order, then the key for
66 // each string will always be the same for any run of the linker.
67 // This is not true of the string pointers themselves, as they may
68 // change due to address space randomization. Some parts of the
69 // linker (e.g., the symbol table) use the key value instead of the
70 // string pointer so that repeated runs of the linker will generate
71 // precisely the same output.
73 // When you add a string to a Stringpool, Stringpool will optionally
74 // make a copy of it. Thus there is no requirement to keep a copy
77 // A Stringpool can be turned into a string table, a sequential series
78 // of null terminated strings. The first string may optionally be a
79 // single zero byte, as required for SHT_STRTAB sections. This
80 // conversion is only permitted after all strings have been added to
81 // the Stringpool. After doing this conversion, you can ask for the
82 // offset of any string (or any key) in the stringpool in the string
83 // table, and you can write the resulting string table to an output
86 // When a Stringpool is turned into a string table, then as an
87 // optimization it will reuse string suffixes to avoid duplicating
88 // strings. That is, given the strings "abc" and "bc", only the
89 // string "abc" will be stored, and "bc" will be represented by an
90 // offset into the middle of the string "abc".
