35package Stringt is
36
37--  This package contains routines for handling the strings table which is
38--  used to store string constants encountered in the source, and also those
39--  additional string constants generated by compile time concatenation and
40--  other similar processing.
41
42--  A string constant in this table consists of a series of Char_Code values,
43--  so that 16-bit character codes can be properly handled if this feature
44--  is implemented in the scanner.
45
46--  There is no guarantee that hashing is used in the implementation, although
47--  it maybe. This means that the caller cannot count on having the same Id
48--  value for two identical strings stored separately and also cannot count on
49--  the two Id values being different.
