## Detailed Description

Strings and buffers.

String is is an implicitly shared byte string. It is designed to be efficient for strings of arbitrary length, and supposed to be passed by value (the size of String is a single pointer). Sharing is implicit—the string creates its own representation as soon as it is modified.

String can be used for binary data. For text, it is usually assumed that the string is UTF-8 encoded, but only the unicode member function actually requires this. In particular, all indices into the string are byte indices, not Unicode character indices.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## String() [1/5]

String::String | ( |  | ) |

noexcept

Construct an empty string.

Referenced by right(), and ipe::Platform::runLatex().

## String() [2/5]

String::String | ( | const char * | str | ) |

noexcept

Construct a string by making copy of str.

## String() [3/5]

String::String | ( | const char * | str,
|  | int | len
| ) |  |

noexcept

Construct string by making copy of str with given len.

## String() [4/5]

String::String | ( | const String & | rhs | ) |

noexcept

Copy constructor. This only copies the reference and takes constant time.

## String() [5/5]

String::String | ( | const String & | rhs,
|  | int | index,
|  | int | len
| ) |  |

noexcept

Construct a substring.

index must be >= 0. len can be negative or too large to return entire string.

## ~String()

String::~String | ( |  | ) |

noexcept

Destruct string if reference count has reached zero.

## Member Function Documentation

## operator=()

String & String::operator= | ( | const String & | rhs | ) |

noexcept

Assignment takes constant time.

## withData()

String String::withData | ( | char * | data,
|  | int | len = `0`
| ) |  |

staticnoexcept

Construct string by taking ownership of given data.

References data().

## operator[]()

char ipe::String::operator[] | ( | int | i | ) | const

inlinenoexcept

Return character at index i.

## empty()

bool ipe::String::empty | ( |  | ) | const

inlinenoexcept

Is the string empty?
