An instance of this /// type is a static guarantee that the underlying bytes contain no interior 0 /// bytes and the final byte is 0. /// /// A `CString` is created from either a byte slice or a byte vector. After /// being created, a `CString` predominately inherits all of its methods from /// the `Deref` implementation to `[libc::c_char]`. Note that the underlying /// array is represented as an array of `libc::c_char` as opposed to `u8`. A /// `u8` slice can be obtained with the `as_bytes` method. Slices produced from /// a `CString` do *not* contain the trailing nul terminator unless otherwise /// specified. /// /// # Example /// /// ```no_run /// # extern crate libc; /// # fn main() { /// use std::ffi::CString; /// use libc; /// /// extern { /// fn my_printer(s: *const libc::c_char); /// } /// /// let to_print = "Hello, world!"; /// let c_to_print = CString::from_slice(to_print.as_bytes()); /// unsafe { /// my_printer(c_to_print.as_ptr()); /// } /// # } /// ``` #[derive(Clone, PartialEq, PartialOrd, Eq, Ord, Hash)] pub struct CString { inner: Vec, } impl CString { /// Create a new C-compatible string from a byte slice. /// /// This method will copy the data of the slice provided into a new /// allocation, ensuring that there is a trailing 0 byte. /// /// # Panics /// /// This function will panic if there are any 0 bytes already in the slice /// provided. pub fn from_slice(v: &[u8]) -> CString { CString::from_vec(v.to_vec()) } /// Create a C-compatible string from a byte vector. /// /// This method will consume ownership of the provided vector, appending a 0 /// byte to the end after verifying that there are no interior 0 bytes. /// /// # Panics /// /// This function will panic if there are any 0 bytes already in the vector /// provided. pub fn from_vec(v: Vec) -> CString { assert!(!v.iter().any(|&x| x == 0)); unsafe { CString::from_vec_unchecked(v) } } /// Create a C-compatibel string from a byte vector without checking for /// interior 0 bytes. /// /// This method is equivalent to `from_vec` except that no runtime assertion /// is made that `v` contains no 0 bytes. pub unsafe fn from_vec_unchecked(mut v: Vec) -> CString { v.push(0); CString { inner: mem::transmute(v) } } /// Create a view into this C string which includes the trailing nul /// terminator at the end of the string. pub fn as_slice_with_nul(&self) -> &[libc::c_char] { self.inner.as_slice() } /// Similar to the `as_slice` method, but returns a `u8` slice instead of a /// `libc::c_char` slice. pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8] { unsafe { mem::transmute(self.as_slice()) } } /// Equivalent to `as_slice_with_nul` except that the type returned is a /// `u8` slice instead of a `libc::c_char` slice. pub fn as_bytes_with_nul(&self) -> &[u8] { unsafe { mem::transmute(self.as_slice_with_nul()) } } } impl Deref for CString { type Target = [libc::c_char]; fn deref(&self) -> &[libc::c_char] { self.inner.slice_to(self.inner.len() - 1) } } impl fmt::Show for CString { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { String::from_utf8_lossy(self.as_bytes()).fmt(f) } } /// Interpret a C string as a byte slice. /// /// This function will calculate the length of the C string provided, and it /// will then return a corresponding slice for the contents of the C string not /// including the nul terminator. /// /// This function will tie the lifetime of the returned slice to the lifetime of /// the pointer provided.
