resizing) is given by the parameter ic.
RWWString(const RWWString& str);
Copy constructor. The created string will copy str's data.
RWWString(const RWWSubString& ss);
Conversion from sub-string. The created string will copy the substring represented by ss.
RWWString(char c);
Constructs a string containing the single character c.
RWWString(char c, size_t N);
Constructs a string containing the character c repeated N times.
RWWString(const char* mbcs, multiByte_ mb);
Construct a wide character string from the multibyte character string contained in mbcs. The conversion is
done using the Standard C library function ::mbstowcs(). This constructor can be used as follows:
RWWString a("\306\374\315\313\306\374", multiByte);
RWWString(const char* acs, ascii_ asc);
Construct a wide character string from the ASCII character string contained in acs. The conversion is done by
simply stripping the high-order bit and, hence, is much faster than the more general constructor given
immediately above. For this conversion to be successful, you must be certain that the string contains only
ASCII characters. This can be confirmed (if necessary) using RWCString::isAscii(). This constructor can be
used as follows:
RWWString a("An ASCII character string", ascii);
RWWString(const char* cs, size_t N, multiByte_ mb);
RWWString(const char* cs, size_t N, ascii__ asc);
These two constructors are similar to the two constructors immediately above except that they copy exactly N
characters, including any embedded nulls. Hence, the buffer pointed to by cs must be at least N bytes long.
Type Conversion
operator
const wchar_t*() const;
Access to the RWWString's data as a null terminated wide string. This datum is owned by the RWWString and
may not be deleted or changed. If the RWWString object itself changes or goes out of scope, the pointer value
previously returned will become invalid. While the string is null-terminated, note that its length is still given
by the member function length(). That is, it may contain embedded nulls.
Assignment Operators
RWWString&
operator=(const char* cs);
Assignment operator. Copies the null-terminated character string pointed to by cs into self. Returns a
reference to self.
RWWString&
operator=(const RWWString& str);
Assignment operator. The string will copy str's data. Returns a reference to self.
