Actually, it occurs to me. If we wanted to give certain future
guarantees about GString, we could do something like the following:
#define GSTRING_STATIC_INIT { .str = NULL; .len = 0; .allocatedlen = 0; }
...
GString s = GSTRING_STATIC_INIT;
in the case of local or global variables, of only one GString (i.e. the
common case). This wouldn't work for arrays or other weird cases, but it
would avoid even the need for a call to the function to initialise it.
The downside here is that the initial representation of an "empty"
GString would need to be compile-time constant, if it would be used in
this manner.
Thoughts?
