SPStrinc.c - Dynamic string in C

/*
*  C Implementation: SPString
*
* Description:
*    This class provides a safe and convenient, albeit slower, alternative
*    to C character chains.
*
*    One can easily create a String from a C string with newString(char *).
*    String.str always returns a null-terminated C chain, and String.len
*    returns its length.
*    One should always avoid to manipulate the String structure members
*    directly in order to prevent corruption (i.e incorrect sz and len values).
*
*    Most functions mirror standard C functions.
*    stringcpy and stringcat can increase their buffer size if necessary in
*    order to prevent buffer overflow.
