TValue | The value type, that is the type of the items/characters stored in the string. Remarks: Use Value to get the value type for a given class.
TConfig | A structure to configure the external string. Types: ExternalConfig, ExternalConfigLarge, ExternalConfigSize Default: ExternalConfig
Remarks The External String enables to access sequences larger than the available internal memory (RAM) by using external memory (e.g. Hard disk, Network storage, ...) via a File object. Sequences of nearly arbitrary size can be accessed even larger than the logically addressable memory, i.e. they can in particular contain more than 2^32 elements on a 32bit system (see Tag.ExternalConfigLarge). See the constructor for more details. This String also supports fast appending and removing of values at the end (see Block String, appendValue) The External String implements a LRU mechanism to swap out pages. The External String's Iterator detects a forward or backward iteration and asynchronously prefetches pages that certainly will be accessed and automatically swaps out pages that certainly won't be accessed any more in the iteration process. The String is implemented like a virtual memory manager. It divides its character sequence into pages of a fixed length (e.g. 1MB) and maintains a page table with information for each page (e.g. resides in memory or was swapped out, is dirty and needs to be saved, ...). Besides the page table the String also contains a size-limited list of page frames. A page frame is reserved internal memory for a page. When accessing values of a page that is stored in external memory, the page is loaded to a page frame first. In case that there is no page frame free, another page is swapped out before to free a page frame. Specialization of String Implements Container Metafunctions
