With SSO implementation in String, StreamString::write generates wrong
strings under some circumstances. Reason is that String::len() returns
strlen(sso_buf) if SSO=true but with newly written data
(in StreamString::write) the null-termination missing at the time len()
is called.
Furthermore, len() is called twice which is inefficient if SSO=true.
I redid the ESP8266 WString library to enable small string optimization
(SSO) a while back, and think it would be helpful even on the ESP32 with
its higher memory complement.
SSO avoids lots of tiny mallocs() on the heap which cause fragmentation
by using the memory in the class object itself to store the actual
string and only mallocing() for buffers that are larger than what can
fit in thie class object. Modern C++ std::string implementations have
this optimization as well, but since we're using Arduino strings we had
to roll our own.
If you develop on windows and need cr/lf files, see this:
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration#_formatting_and_whitespace
Git can handle this by auto-converting CRLF line endings into LF
when you add a file to the index, and vice versa when it checks out
code onto your filesystem. You can turn on this functionality with
the core.autocrlf setting. If you're on a Windows machine, set it
to true - this converts LF endings into CRLF when you check out code:
$ git config --global core.autocrlf true
