This doesn't create a string, it just returns a reference to the string already in the protocol buffer object. If you do:

const char* c_string = protobuffer.name().data()

this gets a pointer to the raw C string inside the C++ string object inside the protocol buffer object. No allocations or copies will be performed. Setting the string, one copy is always performed, as Kenton mentioned.
