Detailed Description

A simple string buffer class that allows for dynamic resizing.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

StringBuffer()

StringBuffer::StringBuffer

(

void

)

Construct a new String Buffer object.

Initializes an empty StringBuffer with a default initial capacity. This buffer dynamically grows as new characters are appended.

~StringBuffer()

StringBuffer::~StringBuffer

(

void

)

Destroy the String Buffer object.

Frees the memory allocated for the string buffer.

Member Function Documentation

appendBuffer()

void StringBuffer::appendBuffer	(	const char *	buffer,
		const long	length = -1 )

Append a C string to the string buffer.

Parameters

buffer	The C string to append.
length	The length of the C string to append. If -1, the entire string is appended.

Appends a string or a buffer of specified length to the StringBuffer.

Parameters

buffer	The string or character buffer to append.
length	The length of the buffer, if known. If not, the length is inferred using strlen.

appendChar()

void StringBuffer::appendChar

(

const char

c

)

Append a character to the string buffer.

Parameters

c	The character to append.

Appends a single character to the end of the buffer, growing the buffer if needed.

Parameters

c	The character to append.

flip()

void StringBuffer::flip

(

void

)

Flip the string buffer in place.

Reverses the content of the StringBuffer.

getChar()

char StringBuffer::getChar ( const long i ) const

inline

Get a character at a specific index.

Parameters

i	The index to get the character from.

Returns

char The character at the index.

getString()

char * StringBuffer::getString ( void ) const

inline

Get the underlying C string.

Returns

char* A pointer to the underlying C string.

length()

unsigned long StringBuffer::length ( void ) const

inline

Get the length of the string buffer.

Returns

unsigned long The length of the string buffer.

reset_length()

void StringBuffer::reset_length ( unsigned long newL )

inline

Reset the length of the string buffer.

Parameters

newL	The new length of the string buffer.

resetString()

void StringBuffer::resetString

(

void

)

Reset the string buffer to an empty state.

Resets the StringBuffer to an empty state.

Clears the buffer content by resetting its length, but keeps the allocated memory.

setChar()

char StringBuffer::setChar ( const long i, const char c )

inline

Set a character at a specific index.

Parameters

i	The index to set the character at.
c	The character to set.

Returns

char The character that was previously at the index.

swap()

void StringBuffer::swap

(

StringBuffer &

src

)

Swap the contents of this string buffer with another.

Parameters

other

The other string buffer to swap with.

Swaps the contents of this StringBuffer with another StringBuffer.

This function exchanges the data, length, and capacity of two StringBuffer objects.

Parameters

src	The StringBuffer object to swap with.
