C-string manipulation and management This modules provides the basic methods for creating and manipulating null-terminated strings for use with FFI calls (back to C). Most C APIs require that the string being passed to them is null-terminated, and by default rust's string types are *not* null terminated. The other problem with translating Rust strings to C strings is that Rust strings can validly contain a null-byte in the middle of the string (0 is a valid unicode codepoint). This means that not all Rust strings can actually be translated to C strings. # Creation of a C string A C string is managed through the `CString` type defined in this module. It "owns" the internal buffer of characters and will automatically deallocate the buffer when the string is dropped. The `ToCStr` trait is implemented for `&str` and `&[u8]`, but the conversions can fail due to some of the limitations explained above. This also means that currently whenever a C string is created, an allocation must be performed to place the data elsewhere (the lifetime of the C string is not tied to the lifetime of the original string/data buffer). If C strings are heavily used in applications, then caching may be advisable to prevent unnecessary amounts of allocations. An example of creating and using a C string would be: ```rust use std::libc; extern { fn puts(s: *libc::c_char); } let my_string = "Hello, world!"; // Allocate the C string with an explicit local that owns the string. The // `c_buffer` pointer will be deallocated when `my_c_string` goes out of scope. let my_c_string = my_string.to_c_str(); my_c_string.with_ref(|c_buffer| { unsafe { puts(c_buffer); } }); // Don't save off the allocation of the C string, the `c_buffer` will be // deallocated when this block returns! my_string.with_c_str(|c_buffer| { unsafe { puts(c_buffer); } }); ``` */ use cast; use container::Container; use iter::{Iterator, range}; use libc; use kinds::marker; use ops::Drop; use cmp::Eq; use clone::Clone; use option::{Option, Some, None}; use ptr::RawPtr; use ptr; use str::StrSlice; use str; use vec::{ImmutableVector, MutableVector}; use vec; use unstable::intrinsics; use rt::global_heap::malloc_raw; /// The representation of a C String. /// /// This structure wraps a `*libc::c_char`, and will automatically free the /// memory it is pointing to when it goes out of scope. pub struct CString { priv buf: *libc::c_char, priv owns_buffer_: bool, } impl Clone for CString { /// Clone this CString into a new, uniquely owned CString.
