About:
Vstr is a safe and fast string library for C. It is designed for network communication. Its design uses chunks of ptr+length data, so adding, substituting, and deleting data are all fast operations. This model also allows it to do automatic referencing for mmap() areas of memory. Shortcut APIs are included to mmap() a file into a Vstr string, and read()/write() data to/from a Vstr string. Another big feature of the library is a POSIX and ISO 9899:1999 compliant printf() like function, which can also be extended with user supplied formatters that are gcc warning compatible. The total API is over 280 functions, but laid out in a easy to remember manner, including data parsing functions, a non-destructive split() function, and conversion functions (among others).

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

Changes:
Bytemap functions were added to accelerate parsing. Custom formatters were sped up with a hash. Workarounds were added for a hidden Linux UIO 2GB limit and GCC 4.x symbol aliasing brain damage. Solaris build fixes were made along with a fix for a problem with loading zero-sized files with vstr_sc_*_file() and a couple of other minor problems.
