Write your own code to + * use |nsA[C]String&|s for parameters. Write your string proccessing + * algorithms to exploit iterators. If you do this, you will benefit from + * being able to chain operations without copying or allocating and your code + * will be significantly more efficient. Remember, a function that takes an + * |const nsA[C]String&| can always be passed a raw character pointer by + * wrapping it (for free) in a |nsDependent[C]String|. But a function that + * takes a character pointer always has the potential to force allocation and + * copying. + * + * + * How to use it: + * + * A |nsPromiseFlat[C]String| doesn't necessarily own the characters it + * promises. You must never use it to promise characters out of a string + * with a shorter lifespan. The typical use will be something like this: + * + * SomeOSFunction( PromiseFlatCString(aCString).get() ); // GOOD + * + * Here's a BAD use: + * + * const char* buffer = PromiseFlatCString(aCString).get(); + * SomeOSFunction(buffer); // BAD!! |buffer| is a dangling pointer + * + * The only way to make one is with the function |PromiseFlat[C]String|, + * which produce a |const| instance. ``What if I need to keep a promise + * around for a little while?'' you might ask. In that case, you can keep a + * reference, like so + * + * const nsPromiseFlatString& flat = PromiseFlatString(aString); + * // this reference holds the anonymous temporary alive, but remember, + * // it must _still_ have a lifetime shorter than that of |aString| + * + * SomeOSFunction(flat.get()); + * SomeOtherOSFunction(flat.get()); + * + * + * How does it work? + * + * A |nsPromiseFlat[C]String| is just a wrapper for another string. If you + * apply it to a string that happens to be flat, your promise is just a + * dependent reference to the string's data. If you apply it to a non-flat + * string, then a temporary flat string is created for you, by allocating and + * copying. In the event that you end up assigning the result into a sharing + * string (e.g., |nsTString|), the right thing happens. + */ + +class nsTPromiseFlatString_CharT : public nsTString_CharT + { + public: + + typedef nsTPromiseFlatString_CharT self_type; + + private: + + NS_COM void Init( const substring_type& ); + NS_COM void Init( const abstract_string_type& ); + + // NOT TO BE IMPLEMENTED + void operator=( const self_type& ) NS_DELETE; + + // NOT TO BE IMPLEMENTED + nsTPromiseFlatString_CharT() NS_DELETE; + + public: + + explicit + nsTPromiseFlatString_CharT( const substring_type& str ) + : string_type() + { + Init(str); + } + + explicit + nsTPromiseFlatString_CharT( const abstract_string_type& readable ) + : string_type() + { + Init(readable); + } + + explicit + nsTPromiseFlatString_CharT( const substring_tuple_type& tuple ) + : string_type() + { + // nothing else to do here except assign the value of the tuple + // into ourselves. + Assign(tuple); + } + }; + +inline +const nsTPromiseFlatString_CharT +TPromiseFlatString_CharT( const nsTAString_CharT& str ) + { + return nsTPromiseFlatString_CharT(str); + } + + // e.g., PromiseFlatCString(Substring(s)) +inline +const nsTPromiseFlatString_CharT +TPromiseFlatString_CharT( const nsTSubstring_CharT& frag ) + { + return nsTPromiseFlatString_CharT(frag); + } + + // e.g., PromiseFlatCString(a + b) +inline +const nsTPromiseFlatString_CharT +TPromiseFlatString_CharT( const nsTSubstringTuple_CharT& tuple ) + { + return nsTPromiseFlatString_CharT(tuple); + } |
