Detailed Description

A very Simple String ACE_SString class. This is not a general-purpose string class, and you should probably consider using ACE_CString is you don't understand why this class exists...

This class is optimized for efficiency, so it doesn't provide any internal locking. CAUTION: This class is only intended for use with applications that understand how it works. In particular, its destructor does not deallocate its memory when it is destroyed... We need this class since the ACE_Map_Manager requires an object that supports the operator== and operator!=. This class uses an ACE_Allocator to allocate memory. The user can make this a persistant class by providing an ACE_Allocator with a persistable memory pool.

Member Function Documentation

ACE_INLINE const char * ACE_SString::c_str (  void    )  const

Same as STL String's <c_str> and <fast_rep>.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_SString::compare (  const ACE_SString &    s )  const

Performs a <strcmp>-style comparison.

void ACE_SString::dump (  void    )  const

Dump the state of an object.

ACE_INLINE const char * ACE_SString::fast_rep (  void    )  const

Get the underlying pointer.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_SString::find (  char    c, int    pos = 0 )  const

Find <c> starting at pos. Returns the slot of the first location that matches (will be >= pos), else npos.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_SString::find (  const char *    s, int    pos = 0 )  const

Find <s> starting at pos. Returns the slot of the first location that matches (will be >= pos), else npos.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_SString::find (  const ACE_SString &    str, int    pos = 0 )  const

Find <str> starting at pos. Returns the slot of the first location that matches (will be >= pos), else npos.

ACE_INLINE u_long ACE_SString::hash (  void    )  const

Returns a hash value for this string.

ACE_INLINE size_t ACE_SString::length (  void    )  const

Return the length of the string.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_SString::operator!= (  const ACE_SString &    s )  const

Inequality comparison operator.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_SString::operator< (  const ACE_SString &    s )  const

Less than comparison operator.

ACE_SString & ACE_SString::operator= (  const ACE_SString &    )

ACE_INLINE int ACE_SString::operator> (  const ACE_SString &    s )  const

Greater than comparison operator.

ACE_INLINE char & ACE_SString::operator[] (  size_t    slot )

Return the <slot'th> character by reference in the string (doesn't perform bounds checking).

ACE_INLINE char ACE_SString::operator[] (  size_t    slot )  const

Return the <slot'th> character in the string (doesn't perform bounds checking).

ACE_INLINE const char * ACE_SString::rep (  void    )  const

Get the underlying pointer.

void ACE_SString::rep (  char *    s )

ACE_INLINE int ACE_SString::strstr (  const ACE_SString &    s )  const

Comparison operator that will match substrings. Returns the slot of the first location that matches, else -1.

ACE_INLINE ACE_SString ACE_SString::substr (  size_t    offset, ssize_t    length = -1 )  const

Same as substring.

ACE_SString ACE_SString::substring (  size_t    offset, ssize_t    length = -1 )  const

Return a substring given an offset and length, if length == -1 use rest of str return empty substring if offset or offset/length are invalid
