Detailed Description

Class RWWString offers very powerful and convenient facilities for manipulating wide character strings.

Note
RWWString is designed for use with wide character strings. To manipulate multibyte character sequences, use RWCString.

This string class manipulates wide characters of the fundamental type wchar_t. These characters are generally two or four bytes, and can be used to encode richer code sets than the classic char type. Because wchar_t characters are all the same size, indexing is fast.

Conversion to and from multibyte and US-ASCII forms are provided by the RWWString constructors, and by the RWWString member functions isAscii(), toAscii(), and toMultiByte().

Stream operations implicitly translate to and from the multibyte stream representation. That is, on output, wide character strings are converted into multibyte strings, while on input they are converted back into wide character strings. Hence, the external representation of wide character strings is usually as multibyte character strings, saving storage space, and making interfaces with devices (which usually expect multibyte strings) easier.

RWWString tolerates embedded nulls.

Parameters of type const wchar_t* must not be passed a value of zero. This is detected in the debug version of the library.

A separate RWWSubString class supports substring extraction and modification operations. RWWConstSubString supports substring extractions on const RWWString instances.

Synopsis
#include <rw/wstring.h>
RWWString a;
Persistence
Simple
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <rw/wstring.h>
int main ()
{
RWWString a(L"There is no joy in Beantown");
std::cout << a << std::endl << "becomes......" << std::endl;
a.subString(L"Beantown") = L"Redmond";
std::cout << a << std::endl;
return 0;
}

Program output (assuming your platform displays wide characters as US-ASCII if they are in the US-ASCII character set):

"There is no joy in Beantown" becomes "There is no joy in Redmond."

typedef RWWSubString RWWString::SubString

The mutable substring class associated with RWWString.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum RWWString::ascii_

Specifies that a function should assume US-ASCII content when converting from a const char* string.

Enumerator
ascii 

Convert from US-ASCII

enum RWWString::caseCompare

Specifies semantics used by comparisons, searches, and hashing functions

Enumerator
exact 

Use exact case sensitive semantics

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RWWString::RWWString ( )
inline

Creates a string of length zero (the null string).

RWWString::RWWString ( const std::wstring &  str)
inline

Constructs a string with data copied from str.

RWWString::RWWString ( const RWWString &  str)
inline

Copy constructor. The created string copies the data from str.

RWWString::RWWString ( RWWString &&  str)
inline

Move constructor. The created string takes ownership of the data owned by str.

Condition:
This method is available only on platforms with rvalue reference support.
RWWString::RWWString ( RWSize_T  cap)
inline

Creates a string of length zero (the null string). The string's capacity (that is, the size it can grow to without resizing) is given by the parameter cap. We recommend creating an RWSize_T value from a numerical constant to pass into this constructor. While RWSize_T knows how to convert size_t values to itself, conforming compilers choose the conversion to char instead.

RWWString::RWWString ( wchar_t  c)
inline

Constructs a string containing the single character c.

RWWString::RWWString ( wchar_t  c,
size_t  count 
)
inline

Constructs a string containing the character c repeated count times.

RWWString::RWWString ( const wchar_t *  str)
inline

Converts from the null-terminated wide character string str. The created string copies the data pointed to by str, up to the first terminating null.

Note
This function is incompatible with str strings with embedded nulls.
RWWString::RWWString ( const wchar_t *  str,
size_t  len 
)
inline

Constructs a string from the character string str. The created string copies the data pointed to by str. Exactly len characters are copied, including any embedded nulls. Hence, the buffer pointed to by str must be at least len * sizeof(wchar_t) bytes or len wide characters long.

RWWString::RWWString ( char  c)
inline

Constructs a string containing the single character c. The character c is widened to a wchar_t.

RWWString::RWWString ( char  c,
size_t  count 
)
inline

Constructs a string containing the character c repeated count times. The character c is widened to a wchar_t.

RWWString::RWWString ( signed char  c)
inline

Constructs a string containing the single signed character c. The character c is widened to a wchar_t.

RWWString::RWWString ( unsigned char  c)
inline

Constructs a string containing the single unsigned character c. The character c is widened to a wchar_t.

RWWString::RWWString ( const char *  str,
ascii_   
)
inline

Constructs a wide character string from the US-ASCII character string contained in str.

For this conversion to be successful, the string must contain only US-ASCII characters. This can be confirmed (if necessary) using RWCString::isAscii(). If str contains non-US-ASCII characters, the RWWString(const char*,multiByte_) constructor should be used instead.

This constructor can be used as follows:

RWWString a("An US-ASCII character string", RWWString::ascii);
RWWString::RWWString ( const RWCString &  str,
ascii_   
)

Constructs a wide character string from the US-ASCII character string contained in str.

For this conversion to be successful, the string must contain only US-ASCII characters. This can be confirmed (if necessary) using RWCString::isAscii(). If str contains non-US-ASCII characters, the RWWString(const char*,multiByte_) constructor should be used instead.

This constructor can be used as follows:

RWWString a("An US-ASCII character string", RWWString::ascii);
RWWString::RWWString ( const char *  str,
multiByte_   
)
inline

Constructs a wide character string from the multibyte character string contained in str. The conversion is done using the C++ Standard Library function std::mbstowcs().

This constructor can be used as follows:

RWWString a("\306\374\315\313\306\374", multiByte);
RWWString::RWWString ( const RWCString &  str,
multiByte_   
)

Constructs a wide character string from the multibyte character string contained in str. The conversion is done using the C++ Standard Library function std::mbstowcs().

This constructor can be used as follows:

RWWString a("\306\374\315\313\306\374", multiByte);
RWWString::RWWString ( const char *  str,
size_t  len,
ascii_   
)
inline

Constructs a wide character string from the US-ASCII character string contained in str, copying exactly len characters including any embedded nulls. Hence, the buffer pointed to by str must be long enough to hold len characters.

RWWString::RWWString ( const char *  str,
size_t  len,
multiByte_   
)
inline

Constructs a wide character string from the multibyte character string contained in str, copying exactly len characters including any embedded nulls. Hence, the buffer pointed to by str must be long enough to hold len characters.

RWWString::RWWString ( const SubString &  str)
inline

Converts from substring. The created string copies the substring represented by str.

RWWString::RWWString ( const ConstSubString &  str)
inline

Converts from substring. The created wide string copies the substring represented by str.

void RWWString::swap ( RWWString &  str)
inline

Swaps the contents of str with self.

RWCString RWWString::toAscii ( ) const

Returns an ASCII representation of self. Any non-US-ASCII characters in self simply have the high bits stripped off. Use isAscii() to determine whether this function is safe to use.

void RWWString::toLower ( )
inline

Changes all upper-case letters in self to lower-case. Uses the C++ Standard Library function std::towlower().

RWCString RWWString::toMultiByte ( ) const

Returns a multibyte representation of self.

Note
This method does not handle embedded nulls on systems where std::wcstombs() doesn't handle them. Returns an empty string if the wide string cannot be translated (for instance, if the correct locale is not set to convert a specific character).
void RWWString::toUpper ( )
inline

Changes all lower-case letters in self to upper-case. Uses the C++ Standard Library function std::towupper().
