34 | -- This child package of Ada.Strings.Unbounded provides some specialized | |
35 | -- access functions which are intended to allow more efficient use of the | |
36 | -- facilities of Ada.Strings.Unbounded, particularly by other layered | |
37 | -- utilities (such as GNAT.Patterns). | |
38 | ||
39 | package Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Aux is | |
40 | pragma Preelaborate (Aux); | |
41 | ||
fbf5a39b | 42 | function Get_String (U : Unbounded_String) return String_Access; |
d23b8f57 RK |
43 | pragma Inline (Get_String); |
44 | -- This function returns the internal string pointer used in the | |
45 | -- representation of an unbounded string. There is no copy involved, | |
46 | -- so the value obtained references the same string as the original | |
47 | -- unbounded string. The characters of this string may not be modified | |
48 | -- via the returned pointer, and are valid only as long as the original | |
49 | -- unbounded string is not modified. Violating either of these two | |
50 | -- rules results in erroneous execution. | |
51 | -- | |
52 | -- This function is much more efficient than the use of To_String | |
53 | -- since it avoids the need to copy the string. The lower bound of the | |
54 | -- referenced string returned by this call is always one. | |
55 | ||
56 | procedure Set_String (UP : in out Unbounded_String; S : String); | |
57 | pragma Inline (Set_String); | |
58 | -- This function sets the string contents of the referenced unbounded | |
59 | -- string to the given string value. It is significantly more efficient | |
60 | -- than the use of To_Unbounded_String with an assignment, since it | |
61 | -- avoids the necessity of messing with finalization chains. The lower | |
62 | -- bound of the string S is not required to be one. | |
63 | ||
64 | procedure Set_String (UP : in out Unbounded_String; S : String_Access); | |
65 | pragma Inline (Set_String); | |
66 | -- This version of Set_String takes a string access value, rather than a | |
67 | -- string. The lower bound of the string value is required to be one, and | |
68 | -- this requirement is not checked. | |
