[Owasp-esapi-c++] No Trie for now

[Daniel Amodio]

We have been having an off list discussion about this, so I'm posting to
the list for public record.

 

Porting the Java version of Trie and HashTrie has been rather messy, and
requiring a lot of attention.

For the time being, we're going to pull the Trie data structure and use
std::map instead.

 

There does not seem to be enough benefit to warrant the porting at the
moment. The Trie structure is only really being used for the HTML codec
to house the Unicode characters.

 

We will, arguably, loose minimal performance over this decision... and
can keep the Trie structure as a potential future enhancement. It makes
more sense to leave it out for now, and focus development time on more
important tasks.
