/*
 * THIS FILE WAS ALTERED BY Tyge Lovset, 7. April 2005.
 *
 * - completely rewritten. compact, clean, and fast implementation.
 * - sizeof(TiXmlString) = pointer size (4 bytes on 32-bit systems)
 * - fixed reserve() to work as per specification.
 * - fixed buggy compares operator==(), operator<(), and operator>()
 * - fixed operator+=() to take a const ref argument, following spec.
 * - added "copy" constructor with length, and most compare operators.
 * - added swap(), clear(), size(), capacity(), operator+().

   TiXmlString is an emulation of a subset of the std::string template.
   Its purpose is to allow compiling TinyXML on compilers with no or poor STL support.
   Only the member functions relevant to the TinyXML project have been implemented.
   The buffer allocation is made by a simplistic power of 2 like mechanism : if we increase
   a string and there's no more room, we allocate a buffer twice as big as we need.
