BaseImporter::SearchFileHeaderForToken() expected a pointer to a non-const token list. This was probably an oversight, as nobody would realistically expect the function to change the list. Furthermore, it prevented token lists from being compiled to read-only memory, in some cases even causing the compiler to generate thread-safe initialization.
The list is now const and all callers declare their token lists static const, thus compiling them to read-only memory.
std::string s(""); s = ""; calls the copy constructor, which in turn calls strlen(), … assigning a default-constructed string generates fewer instructions and is therefore preferred.
With C++11 uniform initialization, you’d simply write s = { } instead.
