| Apr 5, 2019 at 6:14 | comment | added | rwong | @user1118321 small string optimization. It is a special case of small object optimization, in which the number of dynamic memory allocations (the number of allocation operations, not the size) are reduced by attempting to pack all data into the struct itself. This trick only happens when the amount of data is tiny, but from usage statistics one could argue that a lot of data structures spend a lot of time holding just a small amount of data (most of the time the count being zero or one) which makes SSO/SOO worthwhile. The justification is empirical; it has to be measured in realistic scenario. | |
