18 * @file svn_string.h
19 * @brief Counted-length strings for Subversion, plus some C string goodies.
21 * There are two string datatypes: @c svn_string_t and @c svn_stringbuf_t.
22 * The former is a simple pointer/length pair useful for passing around
23 * strings (or arbitrary bytes) with a counted length. @c svn_stringbuf_t is
24 * buffered to enable efficient appending of strings without an allocation
25 * and copy for each append operation.
27 * @c svn_string_t contains a <tt>const char *</tt> for its data, so it is
28 * most appropriate for constant data and for functions which expect constant,
29 * counted data. Functions should generally use <tt>const @c svn_string_t
30 * *</tt> as their parameter to indicate they are expecting a constant,
31 * counted string.
33 * @c svn_stringbuf_t uses a plain <tt>char *</tt> for its data, so it is
34 * most appropriate for modifiable data.
36 * <h3>Invariants</h3>
38 * 1. Null termination:
40 * Both structures maintain a significant invariant:
42 * <tt>s->data[s->len] == '\\0'</tt>
44 * The functions defined within this header file will maintain
45 * the invariant (which does imply that memory is
46 * allocated/defined as @c len+1 bytes). If code outside of the
47 * @c svn_string.h functions manually builds these structures,
48 * then they must enforce this invariant.
50 * Note that an @c svn_string(buf)_t may contain binary data,
51 * which means that strlen(s->data) does not have to equal @c
52 * s->len. The NULL terminator is provided to make it easier to
53 * pass @c s->data to C string interfaces.
56 * 2. Non-NULL input:
58 * All the functions assume their input data is non-NULL,
59 * unless otherwise documented, and may seg fault if passed
60 * NULL. The input data may *contain* null bytes, of course, just
61 * the data pointer itself must not be NULL.
