#ifndef BASE_STRING16_H_
#define BASE_STRING16_H_

// WHAT:
// A version of std::basic_string that provides 2-byte characters even when
// wchar_t is not implemented as a 2-byte type. You can access this class as
// string16. We also define char16, which string16 is based upon.
//
// WHY:
// On Windows, wchar_t is 2 bytes, and it can conveniently handle UTF-16/UCS-2
// data. Plenty of existing code operates on strings encoded as UTF-16.
//
// On many other platforms, sizeof(wchar_t) is 4 bytes by default. We can make
// it 2 bytes by using the GCC flag -fshort-wchar. But then std::wstring fails
// at run time, because it calls some functions (like wcslen) that come from
// the system's native C library -- which was built with a 4-byte wchar_t!
// It's wasteful to use 4-byte wchar_t strings to carry UTF-16 data, and it's
// entirely improper on those systems where the encoding of wchar_t is defined
// as UTF-32.
//
// Here, we define string16, which is similar to std::wstring but replaces all
// libc functions with custom, 2-byte-char compatible routines. It is capable
// of carrying UTF-16-encoded data.
