Macros
#define	_S

#define	_SU
	Creates a static UTF-8 string from a string literal.
#define	_SO
	Creates a static string with other/unknown encoding from a literal.

Detailed Description

Create static strings from compile-time constants.

These macros convert C string literals into CX string objects by prepending a minimal header. The strings are static and don't need to be destroyed. They cannot be modified (attempts to modify will cause a copy).

Choose the appropriate macro based on content:

• _S - Pure ASCII (most common, allows ASCII-specific optimizations)
• _SU - UTF-8 encoded (multi-byte characters)
• _SO - Other encoding or raw binary data

Example:

string s1 = _S"Hello";           // ASCII literal
string s2 = _SU"Hello 世界";     // UTF-8 literal
strDup(&s1, _S"World");          // Can use in any string function
