+#define BASE_STRING16_H_
+
+// WHAT:
+// A version of std::basic_string that provides 2-byte characters even when
+// wchar_t is not implemented as a 2-byte type. You can access this class as
+// string16. We also define char16, which string16 is based upon.
+//
+// WHY:
+// On Windows, wchar_t is 2 bytes, and it can conveniently handle UTF-16/UCS-2
+// data. Plenty of existing code operates on strings encoded as UTF-16.
+//
+// On many other platforms, sizeof(wchar_t) is 4 bytes by default. We can make
+// it 2 bytes by using the GCC flag -fshort-wchar. But then std::wstring fails
+// at run time, because it calls some functions (like wcslen) that come from
+// the system's native C library -- which was built with a 4-byte wchar_t!
+// It's wasteful to use 4-byte wchar_t strings to carry UTF-16 data, and it's
+// entirely improper on those systems where the encoding of wchar_t is defined
+// as UTF-32.
+//
+// Here, we define string16, which is similar to std::wstring but replaces all
+// libc functions with custom, 2-byte-char compatible routines. It is capable
+// of carrying UTF-16-encoded data.

+// The string class will be explicitly instantiated only once, in string16.cc.
+//
+// std::basic_string<> in GNU libstdc++ contains a static data member,
+// _S_empty_rep_storage, to represent empty strings.  When an operation such
+// as assignment or destruction is performed on a string, causing its existing
+// data member to be invalidated, it must not be freed if this static data
+// member is being used.  Otherwise, it counts as an attempt to free static
+// (and not allocated) data, which is a memory error.
+//
+// Generally, due to C++ template magic, _S_empty_rep_storage will be marked
+// as a coalesced symbol, meaning that the linker will combine multiple
+// instances into a single one when generating output.
+//
+// If a string class is used by multiple shared libraries, a problem occurs.
+// Each library will get its own copy of _S_empty_rep_storage.  When strings
+// are passed across a library boundary for alteration or destruction, memory
+// errors will result.  GNU libstdc++ contains a configuration option,
+// --enable-fully-dynamic-string (_GLIBCXX_FULLY_DYNAMIC_STRING), which
+// disables the static data member optimization, but it's a good optimization
+// and non-STL code is generally at the mercy of the system's STL
+// configuration.  Fully-dynamic strings are not the default for GNU libstdc++
+// libstdc++ itself or for the libstdc++ installations on the systems we care
+// about, such as Mac OS X and relevant flavors of Linux.
+//
+// See also http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24196 .
+//
+// To avoid problems, string classes need to be explicitly instantiated only
+// once, in exactly one library.  All other string users see it via an "extern"
+// declaration.  This is precisely how GNU libstdc++ handles
+// std::basic_string<char> (string) and std::basic_string<wchar_t> (wstring).
+//
+// This also works around a Mac OS X linker bug in ld64-85.2.1 (Xcode 3.1.2),
+// in which the linker does not fully coalesce symbols when dead code
+// stripping is enabled.  This bug causes the memory errors described above
+// to occur even when a std::basic_string<> does not cross shared library
+// boundaries, such as in statically-linked executables.
+//
+// TODO(mark): File this bug with Apple and update this note with a bug number.
