Public Member Functions

virtual ~OSRTStringIF ()
 The destructor frees string memory using the standard 'delete' operator.
virtual OSRTStringIF * clone ()=0
 This method creates a copy of the given string object.
virtual const char * getValue () const =0
 This method returns the pointer to UTF-8 null terminated string as a standard ASCII string.
virtual const OSUTF8CHAR * getUTF8Value () const =0
 This method returns the pointer to UTF-8 null terminated string as a UTF-8 string.
virtual void print (const char *name)=0
 This method prints the string value to standard output.
virtual void setValue (const char *str)=0
 This method sets the string value to the given string.
virtual void setValue (const OSUTF8CHAR *utf8str)=0
 This method sets the string value to the given UTF-8 string value.

Protected Member Functions

 OSRTStringIF ()
 The default constructor creates an empty string.
 OSRTStringIF (const char *)
 This constructor initializes the string to contain the given standard ASCII string value.
 OSRTStringIF (const OSUTF8CHAR *)
 This constructor initializes the string to contain the given UTF-8 string value.

Detailed Description

C++ string class interface.

This defines an interface to allow different types of string derived classes to be implemented. Currently, implementations include a standard string class (OSRTString) which deep-copies all values using new/delete, and a fast string class (OSRTFastString) that just copies pointers (i.e does no memory management).
