A readonly string class

The objective of this exercise is to learn the basics of RAII, the most important pilar of C++. To do so, you must implement an inmutable string class, which works as follows:

  • The class belongs to the first module of the project, containers.
  • Can be initialized from a C null terminated string (const char*).
  • Manages its own copy in memory of the string given to the constructor.
  • The underlying string storage is correctly handled (Released when it needs to, copied when it needs to, etc).
  • The class has no mutable operations, so the underlying storage is modified only in initialization/copy/move/destruction operations.
