TCollection_ExtendedString Class Reference

A variable-length sequence of "extended" (UNICODE) characters (16-bit character type). It provides editing operations with built-in memory management to make ExtendedString objects easier to use than ordinary extended character arrays. ExtendedString objects follow "value semantics", that is, they are the actual strings, not handles to strings, and are copied through assignment. You may use HExtendedString objects to get handles to strings. More...

Detailed Description

A variable-length sequence of "extended" (UNICODE) characters (16-bit character type). It provides editing operations with built-in memory management to make ExtendedString objects easier to use than ordinary extended character arrays. ExtendedString objects follow "value semantics", that is, they are the actual strings, not handles to strings, and are copied through assignment. You may use HExtendedString objects to get handles to strings.

Beware that class can transparently store UTF-16 string with surrogate pairs (Unicode symbol represented by two 16-bit code units). However, surrogate pairs are not considered by the following methods:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TCollection_ExtendedString() [2/11]

TCollection_ExtendedString::TCollection_ExtendedString ( const Standard_CString  astring,
const Standard_Boolean  isMultiByte = Standard_False 
)

Creation by converting a CString to an extended string. If <isMultiByte> is true then the string is treated as having UTF-8 coding. If it is not a UTF-8 then <isMultiByte> is ignored and each character is copied to ExtCharacter.
