The Better String Library
The Better String Library is an abstraction of a string data type which is superior to the C library char buffer
string type, or C++'s std::string. Among the features achieved are:
Substantial mitigation of buffer overflow/overrun problems and other failures that result from erroneous usage
of the common C string library functions
Significantly simplified string manipulation
High performance interoperability with other source/libraries which expect '\0' terminated char buffers
Improved overall performance of common string operations
Functional equivalency with other more modern languages
The library is totally stand alone, portable (known to work with gcc/g++, MSVC++, Intel C++, WATCOM C/C++, Turbo C,
Borland C++, IBM's native CC compiler on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X), high performance, easy to use and is not part
of some other collection of data structures. Even the file I/O functions are totally abstracted (so that other
stream-like mechanisms, like sockets, can be used.) Nevertheless, it is adequate as a complete replacement of the C
string library for string manipulation in any C program.
The library includes a robust C++ wrapper that uses overloaded operators, rich constructors, exceptions, stream I/O
and STL to make the CBString struct a natural and powerful string abstraction with more functionality and higher
performance than std::string.
Bstrlib is stable, well tested and suitable for any software production environment.
