You can access this class as // string16. We also define char16, which string16 is based upon. // // WHY: // On Windows, wchar_t is 2 bytes, and it can conveniently handle UTF-16/UCS-2 // data. Plenty of existing code operates on strings encoded as UTF-16. // // On many other platforms, sizeof(wchar_t) is 4 bytes by default. We can make // it 2 bytes by using the GCC flag -fshort-wchar. But then std::wstring fails // at run time, because it calls some functions (like wcslen) that come from // the system's native C library -- which was built with a 4-byte wchar_t! // It's wasteful to use 4-byte wchar_t strings to carry UTF-16 data, and it's // entirely improper on those systems where the encoding of wchar_t is defined // as UTF-32. // // Here, we define string16, which is similar to std::wstring but replaces all // libc functions with custom, 2-byte-char compatible routines. It is capable // of carrying UTF-16-encoded data. #include #include "base/basictypes.h" #if defined(WCHAR_T_IS_UTF16) typedef wchar_t char16; typedef std::wstring string16; #elif defined(WCHAR_T_IS_UTF32) typedef uint16 char16; namespace base { // char16 versions of the functions required by string16_char_traits; these // are based on the wide character functions of similar names ("w" or "wcs" // instead of "c16"). int c16memcmp(const char16* s1, const char16* s2, size_t n); size_t c16len(const char16* s); const char16* c16memchr(const char16* s, char16 c, size_t n); char16* c16memmove(char16* s1, const char16* s2, size_t n); char16* c16memcpy(char16* s1, const char16* s2, size_t n); char16* c16memset(char16* s, char16 c, size_t n); struct string16_char_traits { typedef char16 char_type; typedef int int_type; // int_type needs to be able to hold each possible value of char_type, and in // addition, the distinct value of eof().
