/* String representation.
A string is a piece of a stringbuf. A stringbuf can be used by
more than one string. When a string is written to and the
stringbuf of that string is used by more than one string, a new
stringbuf is created. That is, strings are copy-on-write. This
behavior can be used to make the substring operation quite
efficient.
The implementation is tuned so that mutating a string is costly,
but just reading it is cheap and lock-free.
There are also mutation-sharing strings. They refer to a part of
an ordinary string. Writing to a mutation-sharing string just
writes to the ordinary string.
Internal, low level interface to the character arrays
- Use scm_i_is_narrow_string to determine is the string is narrow or
wide.
- Use scm_i_string_chars or scm_i_string_wide_chars to get a
pointer to the byte or scm_t_wchar array of a string for reading.
Use scm_i_string_length to get the number of characters in that
array. The array is not null-terminated.
- The array is valid as long as the corresponding SCM object is
protected but only until the next SCM_TICK. During such a 'safe
point', strings might change their representation.
- Use scm_i_string_start_writing to get a version of the string
ready for reading and writing. This is a potentially costly
operation since it implements the copy-on-write behavior. When
done with the writing, call scm_i_string_stop_writing. You must
do this before the next SCM_TICK. (This means, before calling
almost any other scm_ function and you can't allow throws, of
course.)
- New strings can be created with scm_i_make_string or
scm_i_make_wide_string. This gives access to a writable pointer
that remains valid as long as nobody else makes a copy-on-write
substring of the string. Do not call scm_i_string_stop_writing
for this pointer.
- Alternately, scm_i_string_ref and scm_i_string_set_x can be used
to read and write strings without worrying about whether the
string is narrow or wide. scm_i_string_set_x still needs to be
bracketed by scm_i_string_start_writing and
scm_i_string_stop_writing.
Legacy interface
- SCM_STRINGP is just scm_is_string.
- SCM_STRING_CHARS uses scm_i_string_writable_chars and immediately
calls scm_i_stop_writing, hoping for the best. SCM_STRING_LENGTH
is the same as scm_i_string_length. SCM_STRING_CHARS will throw
an error for strings that are not null-terminated. There is
no wide version of this interface.
