package com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils;

Bare-bones, unsafe, fast string buffer. No thread-safety, no
parameter range checking, exposed fields. Note that in typical
applications, thread-safety of a StringBuffer is a somewhat
dubious concept in any case.

Note that Stree and DTM used a single FastStringBuffer as a string pool,
by recording start and length indices within this single buffer. This
minimizes heap overhead, but of course requires more work when retrieving
the data.

FastStringBuffer operates as a "chunked buffer". Doing so
reduces the need to recopy existing information when an append
exceeds the space available; we just allocate another chunk and
flow across to it. (The array of chunks may need to grow,
admittedly, but that's a much smaller object.) Some excess
recopying may arise when we extract Strings which cross chunk
boundaries; larger chunks make that less frequent.

The size values are parameterized, to allow tuning this code. In
theory, Result Tree Fragments might want to be tuned differently
from the main document's text.

%REVIEW% An experiment in self-tuning is
included in the code (using nested FastStringBuffers to achieve
variation in chunk sizes), but this implementation has proven to
be problematic when data may be being copied from the FSB into itself.
We should either re-architect that to make this safe (if possible)
or remove that code and clean up for performance/maintainability reasons.

  Construct a FastStringBuffer, with allocation policy as per parameters.

For coding convenience, I've expressed both allocation sizes in terms of
a number of bits. That's needed for the final size of a chunk,
to permit fast and efficient shift-and-mask addressing. It's less critical
for the inital size, and may be reconsidered.

An alternative would be to accept integer sizes and round to powers of two;
that really doesn't seem to buy us much, if anything.
Params: initChunkBits – Length in characters of the initial allocation
of a chunk, expressed in log-base-2. (That is, 10 means allocate 1024
characters.) Later chunks will use larger allocation units, to trade off
allocation speed of large document against storage efficiency of small
ones.
maxChunkBits – Number of character-offset bits that should be used for
addressing within a chunk. Maximum length of a chunk is 2^chunkBits
characters.
rebundleBits – Number of character-offset bits that addressing should
advance before we attempt to take a step from initChunkBits to maxChunkBits/**

  Internal method to directly normalize and dispatch the character array.
This version is aware of the fact that it may be called several times
in succession if the data is made up of multiple "chunks", and thus
must actively manage the handling of leading and trailing whitespace.
Note: The recursion is due to the possible recursion of inner FSBs.
Params: ch – The characters from the XML document.
start – The start position in the array.
length – The number of characters to read from the array.
handler – SAX ContentHandler object to receive the event.
edgeTreatmentFlags – How leading/trailing spaces should be handled.
This is a bitfield contining two flags, bitwise-ORed together:

SUPPRESS_LEADING_WS
When false, causes leading whitespace to be converted to a single
space; when true, causes it to be discarded entirely.
Should be set TRUE for the first chunk, and (in multi-chunk output)
whenever the previous chunk ended in retained whitespace.
SUPPRESS_TRAILING_WS
When false, causes trailing whitespace to be converted to a single
space; when true, causes it to be discarded entirely.
Should be set TRUE for the last or only chunk.

Throws: SAXException – Any SAX exception, possibly
           wrapping another exception.
Returns: normalization status, as in the edgeTreatmentFlags parameter:

0
if this output did not end in retained whitespace, and thus whitespace
at the start of the following chunk (if any) should be converted to a
single space.
SUPPRESS_LEADING_WS
if this output ended in retained whitespace, and thus whitespace
at the start of the following chunk (if any) should be completely
suppressed.
