◆ WriteOptions

Write the contents of the string to an external buffer. If no arguments are given, expects the buffer to be large enough to hold the entire string and NULL terminator. Copies the contents of the string and the NULL terminator into the buffer.

WriteUtf8 will not write partial UTF-8 sequences, preferring to stop before the end of the buffer.

Copies up to length characters into the output buffer. Only null-terminates if there is enough space in the buffer.

Parameters
bufferThe buffer into which the string will be copied.
startThe starting position within the string at which copying begins.
lengthThe number of characters to copy from the string. For WriteUtf8 the number of bytes in the buffer.
nchars_refThe number of characters written, can be NULL.
optionsVarious options that might affect performance of this or subsequent operations.
Returns
The number of characters copied to the buffer excluding the null terminator. For WriteUtf8: The number of bytes copied to the buffer including the null terminator (if written).

Member Function Documentation

◆ CanMakeExternal()

bool CanMakeExternal ( )

Returns true if this string can be made external.

◆ Cast()

String * Cast ( v8::Value obj)
static

Definition at line 6228 of file v8.h.

◆ Concat()

static Local<String> Concat ( Handle< String left,
Handle< String right 
)
static

Creates a new string by concatenating the left and the right strings passed in as parameters.

◆ ContainsOnlyOneByte()

bool ContainsOnlyOneByte ( ) const

Returns whether this string contain only one byte data. Will read the entire string in some cases.

◆ Empty()

Local< String > Empty ( Isolate isolate)
static

A zero length string.

Definition at line 6236 of file v8.h.

References Internals::CheckInitialized(), Internals::GetRoot(), Internals::kEmptyStringRootIndex, and Handle< T >::Local.

◆ GetExternalAsciiStringResource()

const ExternalAsciiStringResource* GetExternalAsciiStringResource ( ) const

Get the ExternalAsciiStringResource for an external ASCII string. Returns NULL if IsExternalAscii() doesn't return true.

◆ GetExternalStringResource()

String::ExternalStringResource * GetExternalStringResource ( ) const

Get the ExternalStringResource for an external string. Returns NULL if IsExternal() doesn't return true.

Definition at line 6245 of file v8.h.

References Internals::GetInstanceType(), Internals::IsExternalTwoByteString(), Internals::kStringResourceOffset, and Internals::ReadField().

◆ GetExternalStringResourceBase()

String::ExternalStringResourceBase * GetExternalStringResourceBase ( String::Encoding encoding_out) const

If the string is an external string, return the ExternalStringResourceBase regardless of the encoding, otherwise return NULL. The encoding of the string is returned in encoding_out.

◆ IsExternal()

bool IsExternal ( ) const

Returns true if the string is external

◆ IsExternalAscii()

bool IsExternalAscii ( ) const

Returns true if the string is both external and ASCII

◆ IsOneByte()

bool IsOneByte ( ) const

Returns whether this string is known to contain only one byte data. Does not read the string. False negatives are possible.

◆ Length()

int Length ( ) const

Returns the number of characters in this string.

◆ MakeExternal() [1/2]

bool MakeExternal ( ExternalAsciiStringResource resource)

Associate an external string resource with this string by transforming it in place so that existing references to this string in the JavaScript heap will use the external string resource. The external string resource's character contents need to be equivalent to this string. Returns true if the string has been changed to be an external string. The string is not modified if the operation fails. See NewExternal for information on the lifetime of the resource.

◆ MakeExternal() [2/2]

bool MakeExternal ( ExternalStringResource resource)

Associate an external string resource with this string by transforming it in place so that existing references to this string in the JavaScript heap will use the external string resource. The external string resource's character contents need to be equivalent to this string. Returns true if the string has been changed to be an external string. The string is not modified if the operation fails. See NewExternal for information on the lifetime of the resource.

◆ NewExternal() [1/2]

static Local<String> NewExternal ( Isolate isolate,
ExternalAsciiStringResource resource 
)
static

Creates a new external string using the ASCII data defined in the given resource. When the external string is no longer live on V8's heap the resource will be disposed by calling its Dispose method. The caller of this function should not otherwise delete or modify the resource. Neither should the underlying buffer be deallocated or modified except through the destructor of the external string resource.

◆ NewExternal() [2/2]

static Local<String> NewExternal ( Isolate isolate,
ExternalStringResource resource 
)
static

Creates a new external string using the data defined in the given resource. When the external string is no longer live on V8's heap the resource will be disposed by calling its Dispose method. The caller of this function should not otherwise delete or modify the resource. Neither should the underlying buffer be deallocated or modified except through the destructor of the external string resource.

◆ NewFromOneByte()

static Local<String> NewFromOneByte ( Isolate isolate,
const uint8_t *  data,
NewStringType  type = kNormalString,
int  length = -1 
)
static

Allocates a new string from Latin-1 data.

◆ NewFromTwoByte()

static Local<String> NewFromTwoByte ( Isolate isolate,
const uint16_t *  data,
NewStringType  type = kNormalString,
int  length = -1 
)
static

Allocates a new string from UTF-16 data.

◆ NewFromUtf8()

static Local<String> NewFromUtf8 ( Isolate isolate,
const char *  data,
NewStringType  type = kNormalString,
int  length = -1 
)
static

Allocates a new string from UTF-8 data.

Referenced by Template::Set().

◆ Utf8Length()

int Utf8Length ( ) const

Returns the number of bytes in the UTF-8 encoded representation of this string.

◆ Write()

int Write ( uint16_t *  buffer,
int  start = 0,
int  length = -1,
int  options = NO_OPTIONS 
) const

◆ WriteOneByte()

int WriteOneByte ( uint8_t *  buffer,
int  start = 0,
int  length = -1,
int  options = NO_OPTIONS
