One more tip to make code more readable: Go to Options -> Demangled names -> Select names so you don't have to look at 500 character mangled names all day.

This is most likely just a std::string constructor. From personal experience with STL code, take educated guesses and move on. You'll turn crazy if you reverse all of it. I usually just check xrefs to some function and if it looks like it may be simply creating an std::string from a C string, I treat the function as such until further context shows it doesn't.
