Detailed Description

The TTSymbolBase class is used to represent a string and efficiently pass and compare that string.

Note that generally speaking you should not directly create a TTSymbolBase! Instead, TTSymbolBase objects should only by created by the TTSymbolBaseTable that you are using. Because of this we always pass TTSymbolBases as references (#TTSymbolBaseRef) into the symbol table rather than as pointers or copies.

Also, if you don't need the fast lookup capabilities of the symbol table (such as for message or attribute lookup) then consider passing a TTString instead.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TTSymbolBase::TTSymbolBase	(	const TTString &	newString,
		TTPtrSizedInt	newSymbolTableId,
		TTInt32	newSymbolId
	)

The constructor is intended only for use by the TTSymbolBaseTable object when creating new symbols in the table.

Perhaps this could be made private and then the class made a friend...
