// gb_string.h - v0.93 - public domain string library - no warranty implied; use at your own risk

//
// Version History:
//     0.93 - Fix typos and errors

//
//     This software is in the public domain. Where that dedication is not
//     recognized, you are granted a perpetual, irrevocable license to copy,
//     distribute, and modify this file as you see fit.
//
// How to use:
//
//     Do this:
//         #define GB_STRING_IMPLEMENTATION
//     before you include this file in *one* C++ file to create the implementation
//
//     i.e. it should look like this:
//     #include ...
//     #include ...
//     #include ...
//     #define GB_STRING_IMPLEMENTATION
//     #include "gb_string.h"
//
//     You can #define GB_ALLOC, and GB_FREE to avoid using malloc,free.
//
//     If you prefer to use C++, you can use all the same functions in a
//     namespace instead, do this:
//         #define GB_STRING_CPP
//     before you include the header file
//
//     i.e it should look like this:
//     #define GB_STRING_CPP
//     #include "gb_string.h"
//
//     The C++ version has the advantage that you do not need to reassign variables
//     i.e.
//
//         /* C version */
//         str = gb_append_cstring(str, "another string");
//         /* C++ version */
//         gb::append_cstring(str, "another string");
//
//         This could be achieved in C by passing a pointer to the string but for
//         simplicity and consistency, reassigning the variable is better.
// Reasoning:
//
//     By default, strings in C are null terminated which means you have to count
//     the number of character up to the null character to calculate the length.
//     Many "better" C string libraries will create a struct for a string.
//     i.e.
//
//         struct String
//         {
//             size_t length;
//             size_t capacity;
//             char*  cstring;
//         };
//
//     This library tries to augment normal C strings in a better way that is still
//     compatible with C-style strings.

//
//     +--------+-----------------------+-----------------+
//     | Header | Binary C-style String | Null Terminator |
//     +--------+-----------------------+-----------------+
//              |
//              +-> Pointer returned by functions
//
//     Due to the meta-data being stored before the string pointer and every gb string
//     having an implicit null terminator, gb strings are full compatible with c-style
//     strings and read-only functions.
//
// Advantages:
//
//     * gb strings can be passed to C-style string functions without accessing a struct
//       member of calling a function, i.e.
//
//           printf("%s\n", gb_str);
//
//       Many other libraries do either of these:
//
//           printf("%s\n", string->cstr);
//           printf("%s\n", get_cstring(string));
//
//     * You can access each character just like a C-style string:
//
//           printf("%c %c\n", str[0], str[13]);
//
//     * gb strings are singularlly allocated. The meta-data is next to the character 
//       array which is better for the cache.
//
// Disadvantages:
//
//     * In the C version of these functions, many return the new string. i.e.
//
//           str = gb_append_cstring(str, "another string");
//
//       In the C++ version, this is made easier with the use of references. i.e.
//
//           gb::append_cstring(str, "another string");
//
//     * Custom allocators must redefine GB_ALLOC and GB_FREE which can be annoying.
//       realloc is not used for compatibility with many custom allocators that do not
//       have a reallocation function.
//
//
