31 I had a couple of choices when deciding upon this data structure.
32 gas uses null terminated strings for all its internal work. This
33 often means that parts of the program that want to examine
34 substrings have to manipulate the data in the string to do the
35 right thing (a common operation is to single out a bit of text by
36 saving away the character after it, nulling it out, operating on
37 the substring and then replacing the character which was under the
38 null). This is a pain and I remember a load of problems that I had with
39 code in gas which almost got this right. Also, it's harder to grow and
40 allocate null terminated strings efficiently.

42 Obstacks provide all the functionality needed, but are too
43 complicated, hence the sb.
