  33    I had a couple of choices when deciding upon this data structure.
  34    gas uses null terminated strings for all its internal work.  This
  35    often means that parts of the program that want to examine
  36    substrings have to manipulate the data in the string to do the
  37    right thing (a common operation is to single out a bit of text by
  38    saving away the character after it, nulling it out, operating on
  39    the substring and then replacing the character which was under the
  40    null).  This is a pain and I remember a load of problems that I had with
  41    code in gas which almost got this right.  Also, it's harder to grow and
  42    allocate null terminated strings efficiently.
  43
  44    Obstacks provide all the functionality needed, but are too
  45    complicated, hence the sb.
  46
  47    An sb is allocated by the caller, and is initialized to point to an
  48    sb_element.  sb_elements are kept on a free lists, and used when
  49    needed, replaced onto the free list when unused.
