you can simply use: [NSString stringWithUTF8String: s]. or
[NSString stringWithCharacters:s length: len].
Can't use the former because s is not terminated.
The latter (with a cast):
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithCharacters:(const unichar *)s
length:len];
doesn't work (must be an encoding discrepancy?). Source ASCII "hello"
becomes: 敨汬㱯搯愾
I tried this approach:
NSMutableData *data = [NSMutableData dataWithBytes:(void *)s
length:len]; //as supplied, s is: (const XML_Char *), and len is
its length
//append a NULL unicode char
XML_Char nullChar = 0;
XML_Char *nullCharPtr = &nullChar;
int nullCharLen = sizeof nullChar;
[data appendBytes:nullCharPtr length:nullCharLen];
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(const char*)data];
NSData is an object, unlike in plain c this doesn't represent a
part of the memory in a given way, instead it hides this
information and provides methods to access the data. So you can't
just cast a NSData object into a const char*.
Yeesh -- I'm embarrassed: but of course.
you could have used: [[NSString alloc] initWithData: data encoding:
NSUTF8StringEncoding].
Yes - thanks - that works:
NSMutableData *data = [NSMutableData dataWithBytes:(void *)s
length:len];
//append a NULL unicode char
XML_Char nullChar = 0;
XML_Char *nullCharPtr = &nullChar;
int nullCharLen = sizeof nullChar;
[data appendBytes:nullCharPtr length:nullCharLen];
NSString *str = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:data
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
