8 * newstr.c - string manipulation routines
10 * To minimize string copying, string creation, copying, and freeing
11 * is done through newstr.
13 * External functions:
15 * newstr() - return a malloc'ed copy of a string
16 * copystr() - return a copy of a string previously returned by newstr()
17 * freestr() - free a string returned by newstr() or copystr()
18 * donestr() - free string tables
20 * Once a string is passed to newstr(), the returned string is readonly.
22 * This implementation builds a hash table of all strings, so that multiple
23 * calls of newstr() on the same string allocate memory for the string once.
24 * Strings are never actually freed.
