 *
 * StringInfo provides an extensible string data type (currently limited to a
 * length of 1GB).  It can be used to buffer either ordinary C strings
 * (null-terminated text) or arbitrary binary data.  All storage is allocated
 * with palloc() (falling back to malloc in frontend code).

/*-------------------------
 * StringInfoData holds information about an extensible string.
 *		data	is the current buffer for the string (allocated with palloc).
 *		len		is the current string length.  There is guaranteed to be
 *				a terminating '\0' at data[len], although this is not very
 *				useful when the string holds binary data rather than text.
 *		maxlen	is the allocated size in bytes of 'data', i.e. the maximum
 *				string size (including the terminating '\0' char) that we can
 *				currently store in 'data' without having to reallocate
 *				more space.  We must always have maxlen > len.
 *		cursor	is initialized to zero by makeStringInfo or initStringInfo,
 *				but is not otherwise touched by the stringinfo.c routines.
 *				Some routines use it to scan through a StringInfo.

 * There are two ways to create a StringInfo object initially:
 *
 * StringInfo stringptr = makeStringInfo();
 *		Both the StringInfoData and the data buffer are palloc'd.
 *
 * StringInfoData string;
 * initStringInfo(&string);
 *		The data buffer is palloc'd but the StringInfoData is just local.
 *		This is the easiest approach for a StringInfo object that will
 *		only live as long as the current routine.
 *
 * To destroy a StringInfo, pfree() the data buffer, and then pfree() the
 * StringInfoData if it was palloc'd.  There's no special support for this.
 *
 * NOTE: some routines build up a string using StringInfo, and then
 * release the StringInfoData but return the data string itself to their
 * caller.  At that point the data string looks like a plain palloc'd
 * string.
