---------------------------------------

gaussianrecurrence opened a new pull request #703:
URL: https://github.com/apache/geode-native/pull/703


     - objectSize was not taking into account null-terminator character,
       which as of C++11, as stated in § 21.4.7.1, should be included at
       the end of the same string character sequence.
     - Also, in those cases in which SSO applied, the returned size was
       higher than the actual one.
     - A parametrized UT was added to check objectSize is returning the
       right size. Note that no fixed sizes are part of such test, given
       that each std::string implementation could have a different SSO
       size.

> CacheableString objectSize function is returning an incorrect value.
> This class is based upon STL's string implementation, and most of the 
> compilers implementations apply what's called SSO.
> What SSO basically does is if the string occupies less than a certain amount, 
> no extra memory would be allocated in the heap, and the character-sequence 
> would be stored in the object itself. This is typically achieved by using 
> union semantics.
> Right now if SSO applies, objectSize calculates the size of std::string as 
> sizeof(std::string) + m_str.capacity(), which is more than it actually 
> occupies.
> On the other hand starting C++11 STL's strings needs to allocate an extra 
> character
> to keep the null-terminator in the same buffer as the actual string. This is 
> specified in section § 21.4.7.1 within the C++11 standard.
> Because of this objectSize should take the null-terminator into account, 
> which was not the case.
