[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Don't require plugin key group name and label strings to be static (#1126)

[Colomban Wendling]

If we duplicate core names and labels, it would lead to a minimum additional memory usage of 313 bytes (in 34 blocks) for groups and 6626 bytes (in 294 blocks) for items.  If we assume a `sizeof(size_t)` overhead per block (which is possibly exaggerated) it goes to 585 and 8978 bytes respectively.  This makes it about 10kb overhead.
In comparison, running Geany with a few small files open seem to use about ~60M.

I don't mind either way, but I like prettier code with less gotchas.  I'll however commit a current-ish version of this for the moment, but I'd happily merge a full-copy cleanup for both groups and items post-1.28.
