// This class is responsible for managing all the strings that have
// been emitted for the PE file.

// This class manages the strings that are added to the .rdata section.
// It keeps track of each string that has been added using a hashtable.
// The hash table is effectively 2-dimensional. There is a large "virtual
// hash space" that is used to get a wide hash code distribution. The
// virtual hash space is mapped into a real hash table where each n
// hash values in the virtual space fall into a given hash bucket for
// real hash table size n. Within the bucket, elements are stored in a linked
// list in-order. When an virtual hash entry corresponds to a given bucket,
// that bucket is searched for the matching hash id. If not found, it is
// inserted, otherwise, the value is returned. The idea is that for smaller
// apps, there won't be a large number of strings, so that collisions are
// minimal and the length of each bucket's chain is small. For larger
// numbers of strings, having a large hash space also reduces numbers
// of collisions, avoiding string compares unless the hash codes match.
