Well I have another question on using string in WebKit. std::string
employs its own memory management policy, but I've found that
StringImpl uses 'malloc' and 'free' directly. It doesn't use copy-on-
write strategy, even in its copy constructor. So how is StringImpl's
performance of memory management compared with std::string.
StringImpl objects are rarely used for strings that will be modified.
They're usually just created and used. I don't know if that answers
your question.
