Detailed Description

The nstring_accumulator class is used to accumulate strings into a buffer.

Definition at line 34 of file accumulator.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

nstring_accumulator::~nstring_accumulator

(

)

The destructor. Thou shalt not derive from this class because it isn't virtual.

nstring_accumulator::nstring_accumulator

(

)

The default constructor.

nstring_accumulator::nstring_accumulator

(

const nstring_accumulator &

)

The copy constructor.

---

Member Function Documentation

nstring_accumulator& nstring_accumulator::operator=

(

const nstring_accumulator &

)

The assignment operator.

nstring nstring_accumulator::mkstr

(

)

const

The mkstr method is used to take the current contents of the accumulated buffer and turn it into a string.

void nstring_accumulator::push_back

(

char

c

)

[inline]

The push_back method is used to append another character to the end of the accumulator.

Parameters:

c

The character to be appended to the buffer.

Definition at line 72 of file accumulator.h.

void nstring_accumulator::push_back	(	const char *	data,
		size_t	len
	)

The push_back method is used to append an array of characters to the end of the accumulator.

Parameters:

	data	The data to be appended to the buffer.
	len	The number of bytes of data.

void nstring_accumulator::push_back

(

const char *

data

)

The push_back method is used to append a NUL terminated string to the end of the accumulator.

Parameters:

data

The string to be appended to the buffer.

void nstring_accumulator::push_back

(

const nstring_accumulator &

data

)

The push_back method is used to append another string accumulator to the end of this accumulator.

Parameters:

data

The string to be appended to the buffer.

void nstring_accumulator::push_back

(

const nstring &

data

)

The push_back method is used to append another string accumulator to the end of this accumulator.

Parameters:

data

The string to be appended to the buffer.

void nstring_accumulator::clear

(

)

[inline]

The clear method is used to reset the length of the accumulated string to zero.

Definition at line 128 of file accumulator.h.

size_t nstring_accumulator::size

(

)

const [inline]

The size method is used to obtain the current size of the buffer in characters.

Definition at line 134 of file accumulator.h.

bool nstring_accumulator::empty

(

)

const [inline]

The empty method is used to determine if the buffer is empty (has a size of zero).

Definition at line 140 of file accumulator.h.

void nstring_accumulator::pop_back

(

)

[inline]

The pop_back method is used to remove the last character from the buffer.

Definition at line 146 of file accumulator.h.

char nstring_accumulator::back

(

)

[inline]

The back method is used to obtain the last character in the buffer, or NUL if the buffer is empty.

Definition at line 152 of file accumulator.h.

const char* nstring_accumulator::get_data

(

)

const [inline]

The get_data method is used to obtain a pointer to the base of the array of characters being accumulated.

Note:

The pointer is only garanteed to be valid until the next push_back method call.

Please use this methdo as little as possible.

Definition at line 164 of file accumulator.h.

char nstring_accumulator::operator[]

(

size_t

n

)

[inline]

The array index operator is used to obtain thr nth character in the buffer.

Note:

No array bounds checking is performed. If you really stuff up, it will segfault. Caveat emptor.

Definition at line 174 of file accumulator.h.

void nstring_accumulator::overflow

(

char

c

)

[private]

The overflow method is used to append another character to the end of the accumulator. It is called by the putch method when it get too too hard (and a new buffer is needed).

Parameters:

c

The character to be appended to the buffer.

Field Documentation

size_t nstring_accumulator::length [private]

The length instance variable is used to remember how many characters in the buffer are significant.

Definition at line 191 of file accumulator.h.

size_t nstring_accumulator::maximum [private]

The length instance variable is used to remember the allocated size of the buffer.

Definition at line 197 of file accumulator.h.

char* nstring_accumulator::buffer [private]

The length instance variable is used to remember the base of an array of characters in the heap.

Definition at line 203 of file accumulator.h.
