There seem to be many places where static buffers
are used for building
strings. It is clear they are used just for usage inside some functions,
with no need to keep the value for usage somewhere else.
Would defining a global static buffer to be used for such cases make
sense? The access to the pointer and size can be given via functions.
There could be couple of such buffers to be used in the cases one
function need concurrent access to more than one ... opinions? It will
reduce memory space reserved and used...
Hi Daniel,
what about getting rid of this static buffers completely? If we want to go
multi-threaded sometimes, we need to lock every access. And i doubt it really
makes a difference from the performance POV nowadays. The only issue i could
think of is eventual memory fragementation..
