You can access this class as 11 // string16. We also define char16, which string16 is based upon. 12 // 13 // WHY: 14 // On Windows, wchar_t is 2 bytes, and it can conveniently handle UTF-16/UCS-2 15 // data. Plenty of existing code operates on strings encoded as UTF-16. 16 // 17 // On many other platforms, sizeof(wchar_t) is 4 bytes by default. We can make 18 // it 2 bytes by using the GCC flag -fshort-wchar. But then std::wstring fails 19 // at run time, because it calls some functions (like wcslen) that come from 20 // the system's native C library -- which was built with a 4-byte wchar_t! 21 // It's wasteful to use 4-byte wchar_t strings to carry UTF-16 data, and it's 22 // entirely improper on those systems where the encoding of wchar_t is defined 23 // as UTF-32. 24 // 25 // Here, we define string16, which is similar to std::wstring but replaces all 26 // libc functions with custom, 2-byte-char compatible routines. It is capable 27 // of carrying UTF-16-encoded data. 28 29 #include <stddef.h> 30 #include <stdint.h> 31 #include <stdio.h> 32 #include <string> 33 34 #include "base/base_export.h" 35 #include "build/build_config.h" 36 37 #if defined(WCHAR_T_IS_UTF16) 38 39 namespace base { 40 41 typedef wchar_t char16; 42 typedef std::wstring string16; 43 typedef std::char_traits<wchar_t> string16_char_traits; 44 45 } // namespace base 46 47 #elif defined(WCHAR_T_IS_UTF32) 48 49 namespace base { 50 51 typedef uint16_t char16; 52 53 // char16 versions of the functions required by string16_char_traits; these 54 // are based on the wide character functions of similar names ("w" or "wcs" 55 // instead of "c16"). 56 BASE_EXPORT int c16memcmp(const char16* s1, const char16* s2, size_t n); 57 BASE_EXPORT size_t c16len(const char16* s); 58 BASE_EXPORT const char16* c16memchr(const char16* s, char16 c, size_t n); 59 BASE_EXPORT char16* c16memmove(char16* s1, const char16* s2, size_t n); 60 BASE_EXPORT char16* c16memcpy(char16* s1, const char16* s2, size_t n); 61 BASE_EXPORT char16* c16memset(char16* s, char16 c, size_t n); 62 63 struct string16_char_traits { 64 typedef char16 char_type; 65 typedef int int_type; 66 67 // int_type needs to be able to hold each possible value of char_type, and in 68 // addition, the distinct value of eof(). 69 static_assert(sizeof(int_type) > sizeof(char_type), 70 "int must be larger than 16 bits wide"); 71 72 typedef std::streamoff off_type; 73 typedef mbstate_t state_type; 74 typedef std::fpos<state_type> pos_type; 75 assignstring16_char_traits76 static void assign(char_type& c1, const char_type& c2) { 77 c1 = c2; 78 } 79 eqstring16_char_traits80 static bool eq(const char_type& c1, const char_type& c2) { 81 return c1 == c2; 82 } ltstring16_char_traits83 static bool lt(const char_type& c1, const char_type& c2) { 84 return c1 < c2; 85 } 86 comparestring16_char_traits87 static int compare(const char_type* s1, const char_type* s2, size_t n) { 88 return c16memcmp(s1, s2, n); 89 } 90 lengthstring16_char_traits91 static size_t length(const char_type* s) { 92 return c16len(s); 93 } 94 findstring16_char_traits95 static const char_type* find(const char_type* s, size_t n, 96 const char_type& a) { 97 return c16memchr(s, a, n); 98 } 99 movestring16_char_traits100 static char_type* move(char_type* s1, const char_type* s2, size_t n) { 101 return c16memmove(s1, s2, n); 102 } 103 copystring16_char_traits104 static char_type* copy(char_type* s1, const char_type* s2, size_t n) { 105 return c16memcpy(s1, s2, n); 106 } 107 assignstring16_char_traits108 static char_type* assign(char_type* s, size_t n, char_type a) { 109 return c16memset(s, a, n); 110 } 111 not_eofstring16_char_traits112 static int_type not_eof(const int_type& c) { 113 return eq_int_type(c, eof()) ? 0 : c; 114 } 115 to_char_typestring16_char_traits116 static char_type to_char_type(const int_type& c) { 117 return char_type(c); 118 } 119 to_int_typestring16_char_traits120 static int_type to_int_type(const char_type& c) { 121 return int_type(c); 122 } 123 eq_int_typestring16_char_traits124 static bool eq_int_type(const int_type& c1, const int_type& c2) { 125 return c1 == c2; 126 } 127 eofstring16_char_traits128 static int_type eof() { 129 return static_cast<int_type>(EOF); 130 } 131 }; 132 133 typedef std::basic_string<char16, base::string16_char_traits> string16; 134 135 BASE_EXPORT extern std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, 136 const string16& str); 137 138 // This is required by googletest to print a readable output on test failures. 139 BASE_EXPORT extern void PrintTo(const string16& str, std::ostream* out); 140 141 } // namespace base 142 143 // The string class will be explicitly instantiated only once, in string16.cc. 144 // 145 // std::basic_string<> in GNU libstdc++ contains a static data member, 146 // _S_empty_rep_storage, to represent empty strings.
