Struct widestring::WideStr

pub struct WideStr {
    // some fields omitted
}

Wide string reference for WideString.

WideStr is aware of nul values. Strings may or may not be nul-terminated, and may contain invalid and ill-formed UTF-16 data. These values are intended to be used with windows FFI functions that directly use string length, where the values are known to have proper nul-termination already, or where strings are merely being passed through without modification.

WideCStr should be used instead of nul-aware strings are required.

WideStr values can be converted to many other string types, including OsString and String, making proper Unicode windows FFI safe and easy.

Methods

impl WideStr

fn new<'a, S: AsRef<WideStr> + ?Sized>(s: &'a S) -> &'a WideStr

Coerces a value into a WideStr.

unsafe fn from_ptr<'a>(p: *const u16, len: usize) -> &'a WideStr

Constructs a WideStr from a u16 pointer and a length.

The len argument is the number of elements, not the number of bytes.

Safety

This function is unsafe as there is no guarantee that the given pointer is valid for len elements.

Panics

This function panics if p is null.

Caveat

The lifetime for the returned string is inferred from its usage. To prevent accidental misuse, it's suggested to tie the lifetime to whichever source lifetime is safe in the context, such as by providing a helper function taking the lifetime of a host value for the string, or by explicit annotation.

fn from_slice<'a>(slice: &'a [u16]) -> &'a WideStr

Constructs a WideStr from a slice of u16 values.

No checks are performed on the slice.

fn to_os_string(&self) -> OsString

Decodes a wide string to an owned OsString.

This makes a string copy of the WideStr. Since WideStr makes no guaruntees that it is valid UTF-16, there is no guaruntee that the resulting OsString will be valid UTF-8.

Examples

use widestring::WideString;
use std::ffi::OsString;
let s = "MyString";
// Create a wide string from the string
let wstr = WideString::from_str(s);
// Create an OsString from the wide string
let osstr = wstr.to_os_string();

assert_eq!(osstr, OsString::from(s));

fn to_wide_string(&self) -> WideString

Copies the wide string to a new owned WideString.

fn to_string(&self) -> Result<String, FromUtf16Error>

Copies the wide string to a String if it contains valid UTF-16 data.

Failures

Returns an error if the string contains any invalid UTF-16 data.

Examples

use widestring::WideString;
let s = "MyString";
// Create a wide string from the string
let wstr = WideString::from_str(s);
// Create a regular string from the wide string
let s2 = wstr.to_string().unwrap();

assert_eq!(s2, s);

fn to_string_lossy(&self) -> String

Copies the wide string to a String.

Any non-Unicode sequences are replaced with U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.

Examples

use widestring::WideString;
let s = "MyString";
// Create a wide string from the string
let wstr = WideString::from_str(s);
// Create a regular string from the wide string
let lossy = wstr.to_string_lossy();

assert_eq!(lossy, s);

fn as_slice(&self) -> &[u16]

Converts to a slice of the wide string.

fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const u16

Returns a raw pointer to the wide string.

The pointer is valid only as long as the lifetime of this reference.

fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the length of the wide string as number of UTF-16 values.

fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns whether this wide string contains no data.
