Struct StringView 

#[repr(C)]
pub struct StringView {
    pub data: *const u8,
    pub len: usize,
}

Non-owning string — (pointer, length) pair, no \0 terminator.

Layout identical to nonstd::string_view in the C++ SDK. 8 bytes on x86 32-bit (ptr 4 + len 4). Returned by componentName() via hidden pointer.

StringView does not take ownership — the producer guarantees the pointer’s validity for the duration of use.

Fields

data: *const u8

len: usize

Implementations

impl StringView

pub fn from_static(s: &'static str) -> StringView

Creates a StringView from a static &str.

pub unsafe fn as_str<'a>(self) -> &'a str

Converts to &str. Safe only if the pointer is valid and UTF-8.

Safety

The pointer must be valid and point to len bytes of valid UTF-8 for the lifetime 'a.

pub unsafe fn try_as_str<'a>(self) -> Result<&'a str, Utf8Error>

Converts to &str with explicit UTF-8 validation.

Preferable to as_str when the string content is untrusted or in contexts where defensive validation is needed.

Safety

The pointer must be valid and point to len bytes for the lifetime 'a.

Errors

std::str::Utf8Error if the pointed-to bytes do not form valid UTF-8.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for StringView

fn clone(&self) -> StringView

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
