TNL::StringTableEntry Class Reference
#include <tnlNetStringTable.h>
Detailed Description
The
StringTableEntry class encapsulates an entry in the network
StringTable.
StringTableEntry instances offer several benefits over normal strings in a networked simulation. First, the ConnectionStringTable class is able to cache string transfers, meaning that recently used strings will be transmitted as string data once and then referred to by a short id bitfield thereafter. String comparison operations are also much less expensive with StringTableEntry instances as they result in just a single integer comparison.
