Constructor & Destructor Documentation

as2js::String::String ( )

This function initializes an empty string.

Definition at line 60 of file string.cpp.

Referenced by from_wchar().

as2js::String::String ( char const * str, int len = -1 )

This function creates a string and initializes it with the specified input string.

The input is considered to be ISO-8859-1 and thus it gets copied in the string as is (see the from_char() function.) If you have UTF-8 data, make sure to use the from_utf8() function instead.

Note that we cannot include '\0' characters in our strings. This function stops at the first null terminator no matter what.

Note: The str pointer can be set to nullptr in which case the string is considered empty.

Parameters: [in]strA string, if not null terminated, make sure to define the len parameter. [in]lenThe length of the string, if -1, expect a '\0'.

as2js::String::String ( wchar_t const * str, int len = -1 )

This function creates a string and initializes it with the specified input string.

The input is considered to be UTF-32 or UTF-16 depending on the width of the wchar_t type.

Note that we cannot include '\0' characters in our strings. This function stops at the first null terminator no matter what.

Note: The str pointer can be set to nullptr in which case the string is considered empty.

Parameters: [in]strA string, if not null terminated, make sure to define the len parameter. [in]lenThe length of the string, if -1, expect a '\0'.

Member Function Documentation

String::conversion_result_t as2js::String::from_as_char ( as_char_t const * str, int len = -1 )

This function copies an as_char_t string to this String. Since an as_char_t string has the same character type as a String, this copy is straight forward.

The copy stops as soon as a null ('\0') character is found.

Note: If an error occurs, this String object is not modified.; This function can be called with a nullptr in str, in which case the string is considered empty.

Parameters: [in]strThe input string to copy in this string. [in]lenThe maximum number of characters to copy, if -1, copy up to the next null ('\0') character.

Returns: STRING_INVALID: if the resulting character is not a valid UTF-32 character, STRING_GOOD: the new string is valid.

String::conversion_result_t as2js::String::from_wchar ( wchar_t const * str, int len = -1 )

This function copies a wchar_t string to this String. Internally we only deal with UTF-32 characters. However, this function expects the input to possibly be UTF-16 and converts surrogate characters to UTF-32 as expected in UTF-16. (In other words, this functions works under Linux and MS-Windows.)

Note: This string is not modified if the input is not valid.; This function can be called with a nullptr in str, in which case the string is considered empty.

Parameters: [in]strThe input string to copy in this string. [in]lenThe maximum number of characters to copy, if -1, copy up to the next null ('\0') character.

Returns: STRING_INVALID: if a character is not a valid UTF-32 character, STRING_BAD: if the input is invalid, STRING_END: could not be converted (not enough data for last surrogate character), STRING_GOOD: the new string is valid.

bool as2js::String::is_float64 ( ) const

This function parses the string to see whether it represents a valid floating pointer number: an integral part, an optional decimal part, and an optional signed exponent.

The sign of the exponent is also itself optional.

Note that this function returns true if the number is an integer in decimal number representation, however, it will return false for hexadecimal numbers. You may also call the is_number() function to know whether a string represents either a decimal number or a floating point number.

A floating point number: [-+]?[0-9]+(.[0-9]+)?([eE]?[0-9]+)?

Todo:: Ameliorate the test so if no digits are present where required then an error is emitted (i.e. you may have '0.', '.0' but not just '.'; same problem with exponent).

Returns: true if the string represents a floating point number.

Referenced by is_number(), to_float64(), and as2js::Node::to_int64().

bool as2js::String::is_int64 ( ) const

This function checks the strings to see whether it represents a valid integer. The function supports decimal and hexadecimal numbers. Octals are not supported because JavaScript does not convert numbers that start with a 0 as if these were octal numbers.

Decimal number: [-+]?[0-9]+
Hexadecimal number: [-+]?0[xX][0-9a-fA-F]+

Returns: true if the string represents an integer.

Definition at line 1037 of file string.cpp.

Referenced by is_number(), to_int64(), and as2js::Node::to_int64().

bool as2js::String::is_number ( ) const

This function checks whether this string represents a number. This means it returns true in the following cases:

The string represents a decimal number ([-+]?[0-9]+)
The string represents an hexadecimal number ([-+]?0[xX][0-9a-fA-F]+)
The string represents a floating point number ([-+]?[0-9]+(.[0-9]+)?([eE]?[0-9]+)?)

Unfortunately, JavaScript does not understand "true", "false", and "null" as numbers (even though isNaN(true), isNaN(false), and isNaN(null) all return true.)

Returns: true if this string represents a valid number
