32 -- This child package of Ada.Strings.Wide_Wide_Unbounded provides some
33 -- specialized access functions which are intended to allow more efficient
34 -- use of the facilities of Ada.Strings.Wide_Wide_Unbounded, particularly by
35 -- other layered utilities.
36
37 package Ada.Strings.Wide_Wide_Unbounded.Aux is
38 pragma Preelaborate;
39
40 subtype Big_Wide_Wide_String is Wide_Wide_String (Positive);
41 type Big_Wide_Wide_String_Access is access all Big_Wide_Wide_String;
42
43 procedure Get_Wide_Wide_String
44 (U : Unbounded_Wide_Wide_String;
45 S : out Big_Wide_Wide_String_Access;
46 L : out Natural);
47 pragma Inline (Get_Wide_Wide_String);
48 -- This procedure returns the internal string pointer used in the
49 -- representation of an unbounded string as well as the actual current
50 -- length (which may be less than S.all'Length because in general there
51 -- can be extra space assigned). The characters of this string may be
52 -- not be modified via the returned pointer, and are valid only as
53 -- long as the original unbounded string is not accessed or modified.
54 --
55 -- This procedure is more efficient than the use of To_Wide_Wide_String
56 -- since it avoids the need to copy the string. The lower bound of the
57 -- referenced string returned by this call is always one, so the actual
58 -- string data is always accessible as S (1 .. L).
59
60 procedure Set_Wide_Wide_String
61 (UP : out Unbounded_Wide_Wide_String;
62 S : Wide_Wide_String)
63 renames Set_Unbounded_Wide_Wide_String;
64 -- This function sets the string contents of the referenced unbounded
65 -- string to the given string value. It is significantly more efficient
66 -- than the use of To_Unbounded_Wide_Wide_String with an assignment, since
67 -- it avoids the necessity of messing with finalization chains. The lower
68 -- bound of the string S is not required to be one.
69
70 procedure Set_Wide_Wide_String
71 (UP : in out Unbounded_Wide_Wide_String;
72 S : Wide_Wide_String_Access);
73 pragma Inline (Set_Wide_Wide_String);
74 -- This version of Set_Wide_Wide_String takes a string access value, rather
75 -- than string. The lower bound of the string value is required to be one,
76 -- and this requirement is not checked.
