RStringTraits#

Fully qualified name: carb::detail::RStringTraits

Defined in carb/RString.h

template<bool Uncased, class Base = RStringBase>
class RStringTraits : protected carb::detail::RStringBase#

The base class for all registered string classes: RString, RStringU, RStringKey, and RStringUKey.

Template Parameters:

Uncased – true if representing an “un-cased” (i.e. case-insensitive) registered string; false otherwise.

Public Functions

bool isValid() const noexcept#

Checks to see if this registered string has been corrupted.

Note

It is not possible for this registered string to become corrupted through normal use of the API. It could be caused by bad casts or use-after-free.

Returns:

true if *this represents a valid registered string; false if *this is corrupted.

constexpr bool isEmpty() const noexcept#

Checks to see if this registered string represents the “” (empty) value.

Returns:

true if *this is default-initialized or initialized to eRString::Empty; false otherwise.

constexpr bool isUncased() const noexcept#

Checks to see if this registered string represents an “un-cased” (i.e.

case-insensitive) registered string.

Returns:

true if *this is “un-cased” (i.e. case-insensitive); false if case-sensitive.

constexpr uint32_t getStringId() const noexcept#

Returns the registered string ID.

This ID is only useful for debugging purposes and should not be used for comparisons.

Returns:

The string ID for this registered string.

size_t getHash() const#

Returns the hash value as by carb::hashString(this->c_str()).

Note

This value is computed once for a registered string and cached, so this operation is generally very fast.

Returns:

The hash value as computed by carb::hashString(this->c_str()).

size_t getUncasedHash() const noexcept#

Returns the hash value as by carb::hashLowercaseString(this->c_str()).

Note

This value is pre-computed for registered strings and cached, so this operation is always O(1).

Returns:

The hash value as computed by carb::hashLowercaseString(this->c_str()).

const char *c_str() const noexcept#

Resolves this registered string to a C-style NUL-terminated string.

Note

This operation is O(1).

Returns:

The C-style string previously registered.

const char *data() const noexcept#

An alias for c_str(); resolves this registered string to a C-style NUL-terminated string.

Note

This operation is O(1).

Returns:

The C-style string previously registered.

size_t length() const noexcept#

Returns the length of the registered string.

If the string contains embedded NUL (‘\0’) characters this may differ from std::strlen(c_str()).

Note

This operation is O(1).

Returns:

The length of the registered string not including the NUL terminator.

bool operator==(const RStringTraits &other) const#

Equality comparison between this registered string and another.

Parameters:

other – Another registered string.

Returns:

true if *this and other represent the same registered string; false otherwise.

bool operator!=(const RStringTraits &other) const#

Inequality comparison between this registered string and another.

Parameters:

other – Another registered string.

Returns:

false if *this and other represent the same registered string; true otherwise.

bool owner_before(const RStringTraits &other) const#

Checks whether this registered string is stably (but not lexicographically) ordered before another registered string.

This ordering is to make registered strings usable as keys in ordered associative containers in O(1) time.

Note

This is NOT a lexicographical comparison; for that use one of the compare() functions. To reduce ambiguity between a strict ordering and lexicographical comparison there is no operator< function for this string class. While a lexicographical comparison would be O(n), this comparison is O(1).

Parameters:

other – Another registered string.

Returns:

true if *this should be ordered-before other; false otherwise.

template<bool OtherUncased, class OtherBase>
int compare(
const RStringTraits<OtherUncased, OtherBase> &other,
) const#

Lexicographically compares this registered string with another.

Note

If either *this or other is “un-cased” (i.e. case-insensitive), a case-insensitive compare is performed.

Template Parameters:

OtherUncased – true if other is “un-cased” (i.e. case-insensitive); false otherwise.

Parameters:

other – Another registered string to compare against.

Returns:

0 if the strings are equal, >0 if other is lexicographically ordered before *this, or <0 if *this is lexicographically ordered before other. See note above regarding case-sensitivity.

int compare(const char *s) const#

Lexicographically compares this registered string with a C-style string.

Note

If *this is “un-cased” (i.e. case-insensitive), a case-insensitive compare is performed.

Parameters:

s – A C-style string to compare against.

Returns:

0 if the strings are equal, >0 if s is lexicographically ordered before *this, or <0 if *this is lexicographically ordered before s. See note above regarding case-sensitivity.

int compare(size_t pos, size_t count, const char *s) const#

Lexicographically compares a substring of this registered string with a C-style string.

Note

If *this is “un-cased” (i.e. case-insensitive), a case-insensitive compare is performed.

Parameters:

  • pos – The starting offset of the registered string represented by *this. Must less-than-or-equal-to the length of the registered string.

  • count – The length from pos to use in the comparison. This value is automatically clamped to the end of the registered string.

  • s – A C-style string to compare against.

Returns:

0 if the strings are equal, >0 if s is lexicographically ordered before the substring of *this, or <0 if the substring of *this is lexicographically ordered before s. See note above regarding case-sensitivity.

int compare(
size_t pos,
size_t count,
const char *s,
size_t len,
) const#

Lexicographically compares a substring of this registered string with a C-style string.

Note

If *this is “un-cased” (i.e. case-insensitive), a case-insensitive compare is performed.

Parameters:

  • pos – The starting offset of the registered string represented by *this. Must less-than-or-equal-to the length of the registered string.

  • count – The length from pos to use in the comparison. This value is automatically clamped to the end of the registered string.

  • s – A C-style string to compare against.

  • len – The number of characters of s to compare against.

Returns:

0 if the strings are equal, >0 if s is lexicographically ordered before the substring of *this, or <0 if the substring of *this is lexicographically ordered before s. See note above regarding case-sensitivity.

int compare(const std::string &s) const#

Lexicographically compares this registered string with a string.

Note

If *this is “un-cased” (i.e. case-insensitive), a case-insensitive compare is performed.

Parameters:

s – A string to compare against.

Returns:

0 if the strings are equal, >0 if s is lexicographically ordered before *this, or <0 if *this is lexicographically ordered before s. See note above regarding case-sensitivity.

int compare(size_t pos, size_t count, const std::string &s) const#

Lexicographically compares a substring of this registered string with a string.

Note

If *this is “un-cased” (i.e. case-insensitive), a case-insensitive compare is performed.

Parameters:

  • pos – The starting offset of the registered string represented by *this. Must less-than-or-equal-to the length of the registered string.

  • count – The length from pos to use in the comparison. This value is automatically clamped to the end of the registered string.

  • s – A string to compare against.

Returns:

0 if the strings are equal, >0 if s is lexicographically ordered before the substring of *this, or <0 if the substring of *this is lexicographically ordered before s. See note above regarding case-sensitivity.
