  <h1><span class="LXRSHORTDESC">original string implementations soon to be replaced (the names you are using will still be good)</span></h1>
<p>
  <span class="LXRLONGDESC">These are the original string implementations by rickg and others.
  Most of the code here will be made obsolete by the new shared-buffer string (see bug <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53065">#53065</a>).
  For the most part, this change is intended to be transparent to clients.
  The type names you are using for strings now, e.g., nsString, nsAutoString, nsXPIDLString, will still be good,
    they will just refer to better, but compatible, implementations.
  If you're interested in learning how strings work, you probably want to start with

bug #59429: adding directories, readme's, a mac project, and other things that will be filled in as I move the string code out of xpcom and into its own library. This is not yet part of the build, but jst reviewed it for me anyway. I'll get appropriate review and super-review before adding this directory to the module and to the build. 2001-02-19 10:42:20 +03:00			`<html>`
