String::WriteUtf8() does not provide enough information to write a string to multiple buffers.
int WriteUtf8(char* buffer, int length = -1) const; The documentation says the return value is the number of characters: * \return The number of characters copied to the buffer * excluding the NULL terminator. but a quick look at the source code and tests reveal that WriteUtf8 actually returns the number of bytes written (correct me if I'm wrong). I need to get a handle on where the writing terminated in order to continue on the next buffer. As far as I can see this is impossible with the current interface. If this function returned the number of characters, I could then do var rest = string.slice(charsWritten); so getting the rest of the string is okay, but then I won't know how many bytes were written in the original WriteUtf8. I couldn't assume that `capacity` bytes were written because there might be a character boundary... Best would be if the function was changed to return both the bytes and characters written: int WriteUtf8(char* buffer, int length, int *charsWritten); Would V8 accept a patch to change this? -- v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users To unsubscribe, reply using "remove me" as the subject.
