Where that dedication is not // recognized, you are granted a perpetual, irrevocable license to copy, // distribute, and modify this file as you see fit. // // How to use: // // Do this: // #define GB_STRING_IMPLEMENTATION // before you include this file in *one* C++ file to create the implementation // // i.e. it should look like this: // #include ... // #include ... // #include ... // #define GB_STRING_IMPLEMENTATION // #include "gb_string.h" // // You can #define GB_ALLOC, and GB_FREE to avoid using malloc,free. // // If you prefer to use C++, you can use all the same functions in a // namespace instead, do this: // #define GB_STRING_CPP // before you include the header file // // i.e it should look like this: // #define GB_STRING_CPP // #include "gb_string.h" // // The C++ version has the advantage that you do not need to reassign variables // i.e. // // /* C version */ // str = gb_append_cstring(str, "another string"); // /* C++ version */ // gb::append_cstring(str, "another string"); // // This could be achieved in C by passing a pointer to the string but for // simplicity and consistency, reassigning the variable is better. // Reasoning: // // By default, strings in C are null terminated which means you have to count // the number of character up to the null character to calculate the length. // Many "better" C string libraries will create a struct for a string. // i.e. // // struct String // { // size_t length; // size_t capacity; // char* cstring; // }; // // This library tries to augment normal C strings in a better way that is still // compatible with C-style strings. // // +--------+-----------------------+-----------------+ // | Header | Binary C-style String | Null Terminator | // +--------+-----------------------+-----------------+ // | // +-> Pointer returned by functions // // Due to the meta-data being stored before the string pointer and every gb string // having an implicit null terminator, gb strings are full compatible with c-style // strings and read-only functions. // // Advantages: // // * gb strings can be passed to C-style string functions without accessing a struct // member of calling a function, i.e. // // printf("%s\n", gb_str); // // Many other libraries do either of these: // // printf("%s\n", string->cstr); // printf("%s\n", get_cstring(string)); // // * You can access each character just like a C-style string: // // printf("%c %c\n", str[0], str[13]); // // * gb strings are singularlly allocated. The meta-data is next to the character // array which is better for the cache. // // Disadvantages: // // * In the C version of these functions, many return the new string. i.e. // // str = gb_append_cstring(str, "another string"); // // In the C++ version, this is made easier with the use of references. i.e. // // gb::append_cstring(str, "another string"); // // * Custom allocators must redefine GB_ALLOC and GB_FREE which can be annoying. // realloc is not used for compatibility with many custom allocators that do not // have a reallocation function. // // // Examples: // // C example #if 0 #include #include #define GB_STRING_IMPLEMENTATION #include "gb_string.h" int main(int argc, char** argv) { gb_String str = gb_make_string("Hello"); gb_String other_str = gb_make_string_length(", ", 2); str = gb_append_string(str, other_str); str = gb_append_cstring(str, "world!"); printf("%s\n", str); // Hello, world! printf("str length = %d\n", gb_string_length(str));
