in almost all cases, convert to OUString. there also used to be a ByteString that corresponded to OString but that has already been removed. > * What is XubString? > https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/String_Classes does > not mention it. it is the same as String. tools/inc/tools/solar.h: #define UniString String #define XubString String #define xub_StrLen sal_uInt16 > * What about the associated type xub_StrLen ? good question... there is code that loops over the sal_Unicode UTF-16 code units in the string (Note: those are not "characters"). since String has a maximum capacity of 2^16, and the xub_StrLen is a "short", and OUString of 2^31 the indexes in such loops most likely need to be adapted to sal_Int32. there is also a method OUString::iterateCodePoints that gives the actual characters, which could be useful in some places. > If somebody has got the answers, could he update > https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/String_Classes? i'll try to do that... > Finally I noticed there is no doxygen generated for XubString, UniString > or String under http://api.libreoffice.org/docs. that is not surprising, since those classes are (fortunately) not part of the API, they are just LO implementation details (so we can remove them). _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
