// A Stringpool is a pool of unique strings.  It provides the
// following features:

// Every string in the pool is unique.  Thus, if you have two strings
// in the Stringpool, you can compare them for equality by using
// pointer comparison rather than string comparison.

// There is a key associated with every string in the pool.  If you
// add strings to the Stringpool in the same order, then the key for
// each string will always be the same for any run of the linker.
// This is not true of the string pointers themselves, as they may
// change due to address space randomization.  Some parts of the
// linker (e.g., the symbol table) use the key value instead of the
// string pointer so that repeated runs of the linker will generate
// precisely the same output.

// When you add a string to a Stringpool, Stringpool will optionally
// make a copy of it.  Thus there is no requirement to keep a copy
// elsewhere.

// A Stringpool can be turned into a string table, a sequential series
// of null terminated strings.  The first string may optionally be a
// single zero byte, as required for SHT_STRTAB sections.  This
// conversion is only permitted after all strings have been added to
// the Stringpool.  After doing this conversion, you can ask for the
// offset of any string in the stringpool in the string table, and you
// can write the resulting string table to an output file.

// When a Stringpool is turned into a string table, then as an
// optimization it will reuse string suffixes to avoid duplicating
// strings.  That is, given the strings "abc" and "bc", only the
// string "abc" will be stored, and "bc" will be represented by an
// offset into the middle of the string "abc".

// Stringpools are implemented in terms of Stringpool_template, which
// is generalized on the type of character used for the strings.  Most
// uses will want the Stringpool type which uses char.  Other cases
// are used for merging wide string constants.
