See the core FIOBJ functions for accessing the String data (fiobj_obj2cstr) and freeing the String object (fiobj_free).
fiobj_str_newFIOBJ fiobj_str_new(const char *str, size_t len);
Creates a String object. Remember to use fiobj_free.
fiobj_str_bufFIOBJ fiobj_str_buf(size_t capa);
Creates a String object with pre-allocation for Strings up to capa long.
If capa is zero, a whole memory page will be allocated.
Remember to use fiobj_free.
fiobj_str_copystatic inline FIOBJ fiobj_str_copy(FIOBJ src);
Creates a copy from an existing String. Remember to use fiobj_free.
Implemented as:
static inline FIOBJ fiobj_str_copy(FIOBJ src) {
fio_str_info_s s = fiobj_obj2cstr(src);
return fiobj_str_new(s.data, s.len);
}
fiobj_str_moveFIOBJ fiobj_str_move(char *str, size_t len, size_t capacity);
Creates a String object. Remember to use fiobj_free.
It's possible to wrap a previosly allocated memory block in a FIOBJ String object, as long as it was allocated using fio_malloc.
The ownership of the memory indicated by str will "move" to the object and will be freed (using fio_free) once the object's reference count drops to zero.
Note: The original memory MUST be allocated using fio_malloc (NOT the system's malloc) and it will be freed using fio_free.
fiobj_str_tmpFIOBJ fiobj_str_tmp(void);
Returns a thread-static temporary string. Avoid calling fiobj_dup or fiobj_free.
fiobj_str_freezevoid fiobj_str_freeze(FIOBJ str);
Prevents the String object from being changed.
When a String is used as a key for a Hash, it is automatically frozen to prevent the Hash from becoming broken.
fiobj_str_capa_assertsize_t fiobj_str_capa_assert(FIOBJ str, size_t size);
Confirms the requested capacity is available and allocates as required.
Returns updated capacity.
fiobj_str_capasize_t fiobj_str_capa(FIOBJ str);
Returns a String's capacity, if any. This should include the NUL byte.
fiobj_str_resizevoid fiobj_str_resize(FIOBJ str, size_t size);
Resizes a String object, allocating more memory if required.
fiobj_str_compactvoid fiobj_str_compact(FIOBJ str);
Performs a best attempt at minimizing memory consumption.
Actual effects depend on the underlying memory allocator and it's implementation. Not all allocators will free any memory.
fiobj_str_compact#define fiobj_str_minimize(str) fiobj_str_compact((str))
Alias for fiobj_str_compact.
fiobj_str_clearvoid fiobj_str_clear(FIOBJ str);
Empties a String's data, but keeps the memory used for that data available.
fiobj_str_writesize_t fiobj_str_write(FIOBJ dest, const char *data, size_t len);
Writes data at the end of the string, resizing the string as required.
Returns the new length of the String.
fiobj_str_write_isize_t fiobj_str_write_i(FIOBJ dest, int64_t num)
Writes a number at the end of the String using normal base 10 notation.
Returns the new length of the String
fiobj_str_printfsize_t fiobj_str_printf(FIOBJ dest, const char *format, ...);
Writes data at the end of the string using a printf like interface, resizing the string as required.
Returns the new length of the String
fiobj_str_vprintfsize_t fiobj_str_vprintf(FIOBJ dest, const char *format, va_list argv);
Writes data at the end of the string using a vprintf like interface, resizing the string as required.
Returns the new length of the String.
fiobj_str_concatsize_t fiobj_str_concat(FIOBJ dest, FIOBJ source);
Writes data at the end of the string, resizing the string as required.
Remember to call fiobj_free to free the source (when done with it).
Returns the new length of the String.
fiobj_str_join#define fiobj_str_join(dest, src) fiobj_str_concat((dest), (src))
Alias for fiobj_str_concat.
fiobj_str_readfilesize_t fiobj_str_readfile(FIOBJ dest, const char *filename, intptr_t start_at,
intptr_t limit);
Dumps the contents of filename at the end of the String.
If limit == 0, than the data will be read until EOF.
If the file can't be located, opened or read, or if start_at is out of bounds (i.e., beyond the EOF position), FIOBJ_INVALID is returned.
If start_at is negative, it will be computed from the end of the file.
Remember to use fiobj_free.
NOTE: Requires a POSIX system, or might silently fail.
fiobj_str_hashuint64_t fiobj_str_hash(FIOBJ o);
Calculates a String's hash value for possible use as a Hash Map key.
Hash values use the default hashing function defined at compile time. This is usually SipHash 1-3, but could be set to a different hashing function (such as RiskyHash).
Note:
Since FIOBJ hashes are impervious to hash flooding attacks by design and don't require a strong hashing function. However, objects often contain network (external) information, and it would be better to use a strong hashing function.
