44 * SECTION:string_chunks
45 * @title: String Chunks
46 * @short_description: efficient storage of groups of strings
48 * String chunks are used to store groups of strings. Memory is
49 * allocated in blocks, and as strings are added to the #GStringChunk
50 * they are copied into the next free position in a block. When a block
51 * is full a new block is allocated.
53 * When storing a large number of strings, string chunks are more
54 * efficient than using g_strdup() since fewer calls to malloc() are
55 * needed, and less memory is wasted in memory allocation overheads.
57 * By adding strings with g_string_chunk_insert_const() it is also
58 * possible to remove duplicates.
60 * To create a new #GStringChunk use g_string_chunk_new().
62 * To add strings to a #GStringChunk use g_string_chunk_insert().
64 * To add strings to a #GStringChunk, but without duplicating strings
65 * which are already in the #GStringChunk, use
66 * g_string_chunk_insert_const().
68 * To free the entire #GStringChunk use g_string_chunk_free(). It is
69 * not possible to free individual strings.

73 * GStringChunk:

203 * Adds a copy of @string to the #GStringChunk.

232 * Adds a copy of @string to the #GStringChunk, unless the same

236 * This function is useful if you need to copy a large number
237 * of strings but do not want to waste space storing duplicates.
238 * But you must remember that there may be several pointers to
239 * the same string, and so any changes made to the strings
240 * should be done very carefully.

243 * pointer to a string added with g_string_chunk_insert(), even
