//
// This file defines the `absl::Cord` data structure and operations on that data
// structure. A Cord is a string-like sequence of characters optimized for
// specific use cases. Unlike a `std::string`, which stores an array of
// contiguous characters, Cord data is stored in a structure consisting of
// separate, reference-counted "chunks."
//
// Because a Cord consists of these chunks, data can be added to or removed from
// a Cord during its lifetime. Chunks may also be shared between Cords. Unlike a
// `std::string`, a Cord can therefore accommodate data that changes over its
// lifetime, though it's not quite "mutable"; it can change only in the
// attachment, detachment, or rearrangement of chunks of its constituent data.
//
// A Cord provides some benefit over `std::string` under the following (albeit
// narrow) circumstances:
//
//   * Cord data is designed to grow and shrink over a Cord's lifetime. Cord
//     provides efficient insertions and deletions at the start and end of the
//     character sequences, avoiding copies in those cases. Static data should
//     generally be stored as strings.
//   * External memory consisting of string-like data can be directly added to
//     a Cord without requiring copies or allocations.
//   * Cord data may be shared and copied cheaply. Cord provides a copy-on-write
//     implementation and cheap sub-Cord operations. Copying a Cord is an O(1)
//     operation.
//
// As a consequence to the above, Cord data is generally large. Small data
// should generally use strings, as construction of a Cord requires some
// overhead. Small Cords (<= 15 bytes) are represented inline, but most small
// Cords are expected to grow over their lifetimes.
//
// Note that because a Cord is made up of separate chunked data, random access
// to character data within a Cord is slower than within a `std::string`.
//
// Thread Safety
//
// Cord has the same thread-safety properties as many other types like
// std::string, std::vector<>, int, etc -- it is thread-compatible. In
// particular, if threads do not call non-const methods, then it is safe to call
// const methods without synchronization. Copying a Cord produces a new instance
// that can be used concurrently with the original in arbitrary ways.

// Cord
//
// A Cord is a sequence of characters, designed to be more efficient than a
// `std::string` in certain circumstances: namely, large string data that needs
// to change over its lifetime or shared, especially when such data is shared
// across API boundaries.
//
// A Cord stores its character data in a structure that allows efficient prepend
// and append operations. This makes a Cord useful for large string data sent
// over in a wire format that may need to be prepended or appended at some point
// during the data exchange (e.g. HTTP, protocol buffers). For example, a
// Cord is useful for storing an HTTP request, and prepending an HTTP header to
// such a request.
//
// Cords should not be used for storing general string data, however. They
// require overhead to construct and are slower than strings for random access.
//
// The Cord API provides the following common API operations:
//
// * Create or assign Cords out of existing string data, memory, or other Cords
// * Append and prepend data to an existing Cord
// * Create new Sub-Cords from existing Cord data
// * Swap Cord data and compare Cord equality
// * Write out Cord data by constructing a `std::string`
//
// Additionally, the API provides iterator utilities to iterate through Cord
// data via chunks or character bytes.
