//
// This package contains functions for efficiently concatenating and appending
// strings: `StrCat()` and `StrAppend()`. Most of the work within these routines
// is actually handled through use of a special AlphaNum type, which was
// designed to be used as a parameter type that efficiently manages conversion
// to strings and avoids copies in the above operations.
//
// Any routine accepting either a string or a number may accept `AlphaNum`.
// The basic idea is that by accepting a `const AlphaNum &` as an argument
// to your function, your callers will automagically convert bools, integers,
// and floating point values to strings for you.
//
// NOTE: Use of `AlphaNum` outside of the //absl/strings package is unsupported
// except for the specific case of function parameters of type `AlphaNum` or
// `const AlphaNum &`. In particular, instantiating `AlphaNum` directly as a
// stack variable is not supported.
//
// Conversion from 8-bit values is not accepted because, if it were, then an
// attempt to pass ':' instead of ":" might result in a 58 ending up in your
// result.
//
// Bools convert to "0" or "1". Pointers to types other than `char *` are not
// valid inputs. No output is generated for null `char *` pointers.
//
// Floating point numbers are formatted with six-digit precision, which is
// the default for "std::cout <<" or printf "%g" (the same as "%.6g").
//
// Floating point values can also be converted to a string which, if passed to
// `strtod()`, would produce the exact same original double (except in case of
// NaN; all NaNs are considered the same value) by passing the number to
// absl::HighPrecision. HighPrecision tries to keep the string short but
// it's not guaranteed to be as short as possible.
// See http://go/faster-double-strcat
//
// You can convert to hexadecimal output rather than decimal output using the
// `Hex` type contained here. To do so, pass `Hex(my_int)` as a parameter to
// `StrCat()` or `StrAppend()`. You may specify a minimum hex field width using
// a `PadSpec` enum.
//
// User-defined types can be formatted with the `AbslStringify()` customization
// point. The API relies on detecting an overload in the user-defined type's
// namespace of a free (non-member) `AbslStringify()` function as a definition
// (typically declared as a friend and implemented in-line.
// with the following signature:
//
// class MyClass { ... };
//
// template <typename Sink>
// void AbslStringify(Sink& sink, const MyClass& value);
//
// An `AbslStringify()` overload for a type should only be declared in the same
// file and namespace as said type.
//
// Note that `AbslStringify()` also supports use with `absl::StrFormat()` and
// `absl::Substitute()`.
//
// Example:
//
// struct Point {
//   // To add formatting support to `Point`, we simply need to add a free
//   // (non-member) function `AbslStringify()`. This method specifies how
//   // Point should be printed when absl::StrCat() is called on it. You can add
//   // such a free function using a friend declaration within the body of the
//   // class. The sink parameter is a templated type to avoid requiring
//   // dependencies.
//   template <typename Sink> friend void AbslStringify(Sink&
//   sink, const Point& p) {
//     absl::Format(&sink, "(%v, %v)", p.x, p.y);
//   }
//
//   int x;
//   int y;
// };

// As of September 2023, the SingleArgStrCat() optimization is only enabled for
// libc++. The reasons for this are:
// 1) The SSO size for libc++ is 23, while libstdc++ and MSSTL have an SSO size
// of 15. Since IntegerToString unconditionally resizes the string to 22 bytes,
// this causes both libstdc++ and MSSTL to allocate.
// 2) strings_internal::STLStringResizeUninitialized() only has an
// implementation that avoids initialization when using libc++. This isn't as
// relevant as (1), and the cost should be benchmarked if (1) ever changes on
// libstc++ or MSSTL.
