StrBuf::Set( const StrPtr & )

Set a StrBuf from a reference of a StrPtr. Arguments are commonly instances of classes derived from the StrPtr class, such as StrRef and StrBuf.

Virtual?	No
Class	`StrBuf`
Arguments	`const StrPtr &s`	reference of the `StrPtr` instance
Returns	`void`

Notes

Initialize the StrBuf and the StrPtr before calling Set().

Any memory allocated for the StrBuf's buffer is separate from the memory for the StrPtr's buffer.

Example

Copy

#include &lt;iostream&gt;

#include &lt;stdhdrs.h&gt;
#include &lt;strbuf.h&gt;

int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
    StrRef sr;
    StrBuf sbs;
    StrBuf sbt;

    sr.Set( "xyz" );
    sbt.Set( sr );    // set StrBuf from StrRef

    cout &lt;&lt; "sr.Text() returns \"" &lt;&lt; sr.Text() &lt;&lt; "\"\n";
    cout &lt;&lt; "sbt.Text() returns \"" &lt;&lt; sbt.Text() &lt;&lt; "\"\n\n";

    sbs.Set( "abc" );
    sbt.Set( sbs );   // set StrBuf from StrBuf

    cout &lt;&lt; "sbs.Text() returns \"" &lt;&lt; sbs.Text() &lt;&lt; "\"\n";
    cout &lt;&lt; "sbt.Text() returns \"" &lt;&lt; sbt.Text() &lt;&lt; "\"\n";
}

Executing the preceding code produces the following output:

sr.Text() returns "xyz"
sbt.Text() returns "xyz"

sbs.Text() returns "abc"
sbt.Text() returns "abc"
