* test-suite/tests/vectors.test: test make-vector and interactions between
strings and vectors
* test-suite/tests/strings.test: test string-null?, string? and backslash
escapes
* test-suite/tests/srfi-13.test: test null input strings in string-any and
string-every
* libguile/strings.c (STRINGBUF_HEADER_SIZE, STRINGBUF_HEADER_BYTES):
New macros.
(STRINGBUF_F_INLINE, STRINGBUF_INLINE, STRINGBUF_OUTLINE_CHARS,
STRINGBUF_OUTLINE_LENGTH, STRINGBUF_INLINE_CHARS,
STRINGBUF_INLINE_LENGTH, STRINGBUF_MAX_INLINE_LEN): Remove.
(STRINGBUF_CHARS, STRINGBUF_WIDE_CHARS): Adjust to return a fixed
location.
(STRINGBUF_LENGTH): Get the length from word 1.
(make_stringbuf, make_wide_stringbuf): Adjust to use a contiguous
memory region.
(wide_stringbuf): Renamed from `widen_stringbuf'. Adjust similarly.
Return the new stringbuf. Callers updated.
(narrow_stringbuf): Likewise.
(scm_sys_string_dump, scm_sys_symbol_dump): Remove `stringbuf-inline'
pair.
* test-suite/tests/strings.test ("string internals")["null strings are
inlined", "short Latin-1 encoded strings are inlined", "long Latin-1
encoded strings are not inlined", "short UCS-4 encoded strings are not
inlined", "long UCS-4 encoded strings are not inlined"]: Remove.
* test-suite/tests/symbols.test ("symbol internals")["null symbols are
inlined", "short Latin-1 encoded symbols are inlined", "long Latin-1
encoded symbols are not inlined", "short UCS-4 encoded symbols are not
inlined", "long UCS-4 encoded symbols are not inlined"]: Remove.
* libguile/string.c (scm_string): Restores the functionality
where scm_string tests for circular lists
* test-suite/tests/strings.test: add test for circular lists
* libguile/strings.c (scm_string_ref): Add proper range checking for the
empty string.
(scm_string_set_x): Likewise.
Reported by Bill Schottstaedt <bil@ccrma.Stanford.EDU>.
* test-suite/tests/strings.test ("string-ref"): New test prefix.
("string-set!")["empty string", "empty string and non-zero index",
"out of range", "negative index", "regular string"]: New tests.
* NEWS: Update.
* libguile/read.c (scm_read_string): Use `scm_i_make_read_only_string ()' to
return a read-only string, as mandated by R5RS. Reported by Bill
Schottstaedt <bil@ccrma.Stanford.EDU>.
* libguile/strings.c (scm_i_make_read_only_string): New function.
(scm_i_shared_substring_read_only): Special-case the empty string
so that the read-only and read-write empty strings are `eq?'. This
optimization is relied on by the `substring/shared' `empty string'
test case in `srfi-13.test'.
* libguile/strings.h (scm_i_make_read_only_string): New declaration.
* test-suite/tests/strings.test ("string-set!")["literal string"]: New test.
* NEWS: Update.
