Detailed Description

Counted-length strings for Subversion, plus some C string goodies.

There are two string datatypes: svn_string_t and svn_stringbuf_t. The former is a simple pointer/length pair useful for passing around strings (or arbitrary bytes) with a counted length. svn_stringbuf_t is buffered to enable efficient appending of strings without an allocation and copy for each append operation.

svn_string_t contains a const char * for its data, so it is most appropriate for constant data and for functions which expect constant, counted data. Functions should generally use const svn_string_t * as their parameter to indicate they are expecting a constant, counted string.

svn_stringbuf_t uses a plain char * for its data, so it is most appropriate for modifiable data.

Invariants

1. Null termination:

   Both structures maintain a significant invariant:

   s->data[s->len] == '\0'

   The functions defined within this header file will maintain the invariant (which does imply that memory is allocated/defined as len+1 bytes). If code outside of the svn_string.h functions manually builds these structures, then they must enforce this invariant.

   Note that an svn_string(buf)_t may contain binary data, which means that strlen(s->data) does not have to equal s->len. The null terminator is provided to make it easier to pass s->data to C string interfaces.

2. Non-NULL input:

   All the functions assume their input data pointer is non-NULL, unless otherwise documented, and may seg fault if passed NULL. The input data may contain null bytes, of course, just the data pointer itself must not be NULL.

Memory allocation

All the functions make a deep copy of all input data, and never store a pointer to the original input data.
