Detailed Description

Provides support for manipulating character values.

SAString is a subsidiary class. SAString object consists of a variable-length sequence of characters. The SAString class provides support for manipulating strings.

It is intended to replace and extend the functionality normally provided by the C run-time library string package. The SAString class supplies member functions and operators for simplified string handling. The class also provides constructors and operators for constructing, assigning, and comparing SAString objects and standard C++ string data types.

Concatenation and comparison operators, together with simplified memory management, make SAString objects easier to use than ordinary character arrays.

Remarks: SAString is based on the SAChar data type. If the symbol SA_UNICODE is defined for your program, SAChar is defined as type wchar_t, a 16-/32-bit character type; otherwise, it is defined as char, the normal 8-bit character type (default, SA_UNICODE is not defined). Under Unicode, then, SAString objects are composed of 16-bit characters. Without Unicode, they are composed of 8-bit char type. When not using SA_UNICODE, SAString is enabled for multibyte character sets. Note that for multibyte strings, SAString still counts, returns, and manipulates strings based on 8-bit characters, and your application must interpret multibyte lead and trail bytes itself. SAString objects follow "value semantics". A SAString object represents a unique value. Think of a SAString as an actual string, not as a pointer to a string. A SAString object represents a sequence of a variable number of characters. SAString objects can be thought of as arrays of characters. When SAString objects are copied, the Library increments a reference count rather than copying the data. This makes passing parameters by value and returning SAString objects by value more efficient. These operations cause the copy constructor to be called, sometimes more than once. Incrementing a reference count reduces that overhead for these common operations and makes using SAString a more attractive option. As each copy is destroyed, the reference count in the original object is decremented. The original SAString object is not destroyed until its reference count is reduced to zero.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SAString()

SAString::SAString ( )

Each of SAString constructors initializes a new SAString object with the specified data.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetLength()

size_t SAString::GetLength ( ) const

Returns the data length (in characters).

Returns: Returns the number of characters in a SAString object.

Remarks: Call this member function to get a count of characters in this SAString object. The count does not include a null terminator. For multibyte character sets, GetLength counts each 8-bit character; that is, a lead and trail byte in one multibyte character are counted as two bytes.

See also: IsEmpty

◆ IsEmpty()

bool SAString::IsEmpty ( ) const

Tests whether a SAString object contains no characters.

Returns: Nonzero if the SAString object has 0 length; otherwise 0.

Remarks: Tests a SAString object for the empty condition.

See also: GetLength | GetMultiByteCharsLength | GetWideCharsLength

◆ Empty()

void SAString::Empty ( )

Clears contents to empty.

Makes this SAString object an empty string and frees memory as appropriate.

◆ operator const SAChar *()

SAString::operator const SAChar * ( ) const

Directly accesses characters stored in a SAString object as a C-style string.

Returns: A character pointer to the string's data.

Remarks: This useful casting operator provides an efficient method to access the null-terminated C string contained in a SAString object. No characters are copied; only a pointer is returned. Be careful with this operator. If you change a SAString object after you have obtained the character pointer, you may cause a reallocation of memory that invalidates the pointer.

◆ operator=() [1/5]

const SAString & SAString::operator= ( const SAString & stringSrc )

Ref-counted copy from another SAString.

Remarks: The SAString assignment (=) operator reinitializes an existing SAString object with new data. If the destination string (that is, the left side) is already large enough to store the new data, no new memory allocation is performed.

◆ operator=() [2/5]

const SAString & SAString::operator= ( SAChar ch )

Sets string content to single character.

SA_UNICODE.

Remarks: The SAString assignment (=) operator reinitializes an existing SAString object with new data. If the destination string (that is, the left side) is already large enough to store the new data, no new memory allocation is performed.

◆ operator=() [3/5]

const SAString & SAString::operator= ( const char * lpsz )

Copies string content from ANSI (multibyte) string (converts to SAChar)

Remarks: The SAString assignment (=) operator reinitializes an existing SAString object with new data. If the destination string (that is, the left side) is already large enough to store the new data, no new memory allocation is performed.

◆ operator=() [4/5]

const SAString & SAString::operator= ( const wchar_t * lpsz )

Copies string content from UNICODE string (converts to SAChar)

SA_UNICODE.

Remarks: The SAString assignment (=) operator reinitializes an existing SAString object with new data. If the destination string (that is, the left side) is already large enough to store the new data, no new memory allocation is performed.

◆ operator=() [5/5]

const SAString & SAString::operator= ( const unsigned char * psz )

Copies string content from unsigned chars.

Remarks: The SAString assignment (=) operator reinitializes an existing SAString object with new data. If the destination string (that is, the left side) is already large enough to store the new data, no new memory allocation is performed.

◆ Compare()

See also: Format

◆ GetBuffer()

SAChar * SAString::GetBuffer ( size_t nMinBufLength )

Returns a pointer to the characters in the SAString.

Parameters

nMinBufLength The minimum size of the character buffer in characters. This value does not include space for a null terminator.

Returns: A pointer to the object’s (null-terminated) character buffer.

Remarks: Returns a pointer to the internal character buffer for the SAString object. If you use the pointer returned by GetBufferto change the string contents, you must call ReleaseBuffer before using any other SAString member functions. The buffer memory will be freed automatically when the SAString object is destroyed.

◆ ReleaseBuffer()

void SAString::ReleaseBuffer ( size_t nNewLength = SIZE_MAX )

Releases control of the buffer returned by GetBuffer.

Parameters

nNewLength The new length of the string in characters, not counting a null terminator. If the string is null-terminated, the -1 default value sets the SAString size to the current length of the string.

Remarks: Use ReleaseBuffer to end use of a buffer allocated by GetBuffer. If you know that the string in the buffer is null-terminated, you can omit the nNewLength argument. If your string is not null-terminated, then use nNewLength to specify its length. The address returned by GetBuffer is invalid after the call to ReleaseBuffer or any other SAString operation.

◆ LockBuffer()

SAChar * SAString::LockBuffer ( )

Disables reference counting and protects the string in the buffer.

Returns: A pointer to a SAString object or null-terminated string.

Remarks: Call this member function to lock a string in the buffer.
By calling LockBuffer, you create a copy of the string, and then set the reference count to -1. When the reference count is set to -1, the string in the buffer is considered to be in a "locked" state. While in a locked state, the string is protected in two ways:

No other string can get a reference to the data in the locked string, even if that string is assigned to the locked string.
The locked string will never reference another string, even if that other string is copied to the locked string.

By locking the string in the buffer, you ensure that the string’s exclusive hold on the buffer will remain intact.
After you have finished with LockBuffer, call UnlockBuffer to reset the reference count to 1.

◆ UnlockBuffer()

void SAString::UnlockBuffer ( )

Enables reference counting and releases the string in the buffer.

Remarks: Call this member function to unlock the buffer that was previously secured by calling LockBuffer. UnlockBuffer resets the reference count to 1.
The SAString destructor implies UnlockBuffer to ensure that you do not leave the buffer locked when the destructor is called.

◆ GetBinaryLength()

size_t SAString::GetBinaryLength ( ) const

Returns a count of the bytes in the binary data buffer.

Returns: A count of the bytes in the binary data block represented by the SAString object.

Remarks: Call this member function to get a count of the bytes in this SAString object.
GetBinaryLength method was implemented specially for working with binary data. This method always returns the length of SAString object data in bytes. This method is specially usefull for Unicode build (SA_UNICODE is defined) where character size is not equal to one byte. For non-Unicode build (default, SA_UNICODE is not defined) GetBinaryLength behaves identically to GetLength.

◆ operator const void *()

SAString::operator const void * ( ) const

Returns pointer to const binary data buffer.

Returns: A pointer to the binary data buffer.

Remarks: This useful casting operator provides an efficient method to access the binary data contained in a SAString object. No bytes are copied; only a pointer is returned. Be careful with this operator. If you change a SAString object after you have obtained the bytes pointer, you may cause a reallocation of memory that invalidates the pointer.

◆ GetBinaryBuffer()

void * SAString::GetBinaryBuffer ( size_t nMinBufLengthInBytes )

Gets pointer to modifiable binary data buffer.

Parameters

nMinBufLengthInBytes The minimum size of the binary data buffer in bytes.

Returns: A pointer to the binary data contained in the SAString object.

Remarks: GetBinaryBuffer method was implemented specially for working with binary data. This method is specially usefull for Unicode build (SA_UNICODE is defined) where character size is not equal to one byte. For non-Unicode build (default, SA_UNICODE is not defined) GetBinaryBuffer behaves identically to GetBuffer, except it casts the result to void*.
If you use the pointer returned by GetBinaryBuffer to change the string contents, you must call ReleaseBinaryBuffer before using any other SAString member functions.
The buffer memory will be freed automatically when the SAString object is destroyed.

◆ ReleaseBinaryBuffer()

void SAString::ReleaseBinaryBuffer ( size_t nNewLengthInBytes )

Releases control of the buffer returned by GetBinaryBuffer.

Parameters

nNewLengthInBytes The new length of the binary data buffer represented by the SAString object in bytes.

Remarks: Use ReleaseBinaryBuffer to end use of a buffer allocated by GetBinaryBuffer. Use nNewLength to specify its length. The address returned by GetBinaryBuffer is invalid after the call to ReleaseBinaryBuffer or any other SAString operation.

const wchar_t * SAString::GetWideChars ( ) const

Returns pointer to const Unicode string, converts the data if needed.

Returns: A pointer to const Unicode string.

Remarks: Special conversion function allows you to get a Unicode string both in Unicode and non-Unicode builds.
In Unicode built (SA_UNICODE is defined) this method acts like operator const SAChar*.
In non-Unicode build (default, SA_UNICODE is not defined) this method converts the SAString object to Unicode string on the fly.
