\subsection{Introduction}
|
||||
|
||||
wxString is a class which represents a character string of arbitrary (limited by
|
||||
{\it MAX\_INT} which is usually 2147483647 on 32 bit machines) length and containing
|
||||
arbitrary characters (i.e. ASCII NUL character is allowed, although care should be
|
||||
taken when passing strings containing it to other functions).
|
||||
|
||||
wxString only works with ASCII (8 bit characters) strings as of this release,
|
||||
however support for UNICODE (16 but characters) is planned for the next one.
|
||||
|
||||
This class has all standard operations you can expect to find in a string class:
|
||||
dynamic memory management (string extends to accomodate new characters),
|
||||
construction from other strings, C strings and characters, assignment operators,
|
||||
access to separate characters, string concatenation and comparison, substring
|
||||
extraction, case conversion, trimming and padding (with spaces), searching and
|
||||
replacing and both C-like \helpref{Printf()}{wxstringprintf} and stream-like
|
||||
insertion functions as well as much else - see \helpref{wxString}{wxstring}
|
||||
for the list of all functions.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection{Comparison of wxString to other string classes}
|
||||
|
||||
The advantages of using a special string class instead of working directly with
|
||||
C strings are so obvious (the most imoprtant being, of course, the need to always
|
||||
remember to allocate/free memory for C strings unless the programmer prefers
|
||||
working with fixed size buffers which almost certainly leads to the dreaded
|
||||
buffer overflows) that there is a huge number of such classes available and now,
|
||||
finally, C++ even has one (std::string) in standard. Why use wxString then?
|
||||
|
||||
There are several advantages:
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
|
||||
\item {\bf Efficiency} {This class was made to be as efficient as possible: both
|
||||
in terms of size (each wxString objects takes exactly the same place as {\it
|
||||
char *} pointer, \helpref{reference counting}{wxstringrefcount}) and speed.
|
||||
It also provides performance \helpref{statistics gathering code}{wxstringtuning}
|
||||
which may be enabled to fine tune the memory allocation strategy for your
|
||||
particular application - and the gain might be quite big.}
|
||||
\item {\bf Compatibility} {This class tries to combine almost full compatibility
|
||||
with the old wxWindows 1.xx wxString class, some reminiscence to MFC CString
|
||||
class and 90\% of functionality of std::string class.}
|
||||
\item {\bf Rich set of functions} {Some of the functions present in wxString are
|
||||
very useful but don't exist in most of other string classes: for example,
|
||||
\helpref{AfterFirst}{wxstringafterfirst},
|
||||
\helpref{BeforLast}{wxstringbeforlast}, \helpref{operator<<}{wxstringoperator}
|
||||
or \helpref{Printf}{wxstringprintf}. Of course, all the standard string
|
||||
operations are supported as well.}
|
||||
\item {\bf UNICODE} {In this release, wxString only supports construction from
|
||||
an UNICODE string, but in the next one it will be capable of also storing its
|
||||
internal data in either ASCII or UNICODE format.}
|
||||
\item {\bf Used by wxWindows} {And, of course, this class is used everywhere
|
||||
inside wxWindows so there is no performance loss which would result from
|
||||
conversions of objects of any other string class (including std::string) to
|
||||
wxString internally by wxWindows.}
|
||||
\end{enumerate}
|
||||
|
||||
However, there are several problems as well. The most important one is probably
|
||||
that there are often several functions to do exactly the same thing: for
|
||||
example, to get the length of the string either one of
|
||||
\helpref{length()}{wxstringlength}, \helpref{Len()}{wxstringlen} or
|
||||
\helpref{Length()}{wxstringLength} may be used. The first function, as almost
|
||||
all the other functions in lowercase, is std::string compatible. The second one
|
||||
is "native" wxString version and the last one is wxWindows 1.xx way. So the
|
||||
question is: which one is better to use? And the answer is that:
|
||||
|
||||
{\bf The usage of std::string compatible functions is strongly advised!} It will
|
||||
both make your code more familiar to other C++ programmers (who are supposed to
|
||||
have knowledge of std::string but not of wxString), let you reuse the same code
|
||||
in both wxWindows and other programs (by just typedefing wxString as std::string
|
||||
when used outside wxWindows) and by staying compatible with future versions of
|
||||
wxWindows which will probably start using std::string sooner or later too.
|
||||
|
||||
In the situations when there is no correspondinw std::string function, please
|
||||
try to use the new wxString methods and not the old wxWindows 1.xx variants
|
||||
which are deprecated and risk to disappear in future versions.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection{Some advices about using wxString}\label{wxstringadvices}
|
||||
|
||||
Probably main trap with using this class is the implicit conversion operator to
|
||||
{\it const char *}. It is advised that you use \helpref{c\_str()}{wxstringcstr}
|
||||
instead of it to clearly indicate when the conversion is done. Specifically, the
|
||||
danger of this implicit conversion may be seen in the following code fragment:
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{verbatim}
|
||||
|
||||
// this function converts the input string to uppercase, output it to the screen
|
||||
// and returns the result
|
||||
const char *SayHELLO(const wxString& input)
|
||||
{
|
||||
wxString output = input.Upper();
|
||||
|
||||
printf("Hello, %s!\n", output);
|
||||
|
||||
return output;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
\end{verbatim}
|
||||
|
||||
There are two nasty bugs in these three lines. First of them is in the call to
|
||||
{\it printf()} function. Although the implicit conversion to C strings is applied
|
||||
automatically by the compiler in case of
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{verbatim}
|
||||
puts(output);
|
||||
\end{verbatim}
|
||||
|
||||
because the argument of {\it puts()} is known to be of the type {\it const char
|
||||
*}, this is {\bf not} done for {\it printf()} which is a function with variable
|
||||
number of arguments (and whose arguments are of unknown types). So this call may
|
||||
do anything at all (including displaying the correct string on screen), although
|
||||
the most likely result is a program crash. The solution is to use
|
||||
\helpref{c\_str()}{wxstringcstr}: just replace this line with
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{verbatim}
|
||||
printf("Hello, %s!\n", output.c_str());
|
||||
\end{verbatim}
|
||||
|
||||
The second bug is that returning {\it output} doesn't work. The implicit cast is
|
||||
used again, so the code compiles, but as it returns a pointer to a buffer
|
||||
belonging to a local variable which is deleted as soon as the function exits,
|
||||
its contents is totally arbitrary. The solution to this problem is also easy:
|
||||
just make the function return wxString instead of C string.
|
||||
|
||||
This leads us to the following general advice: all functions taking string
|
||||
arguments should take {\it const wxString\&} (this makes assignment to the
|
||||
strings inside the function faster because of
|
||||
\helpref{reference counting}{wxstringrefcount}) and all functions returning
|
||||
strings should return {\it wxString} - this makes it safe to return local
|
||||
variables.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection{Other string related functions and classes}
|
||||
|
||||
As any program operates with character strings, the standard C library provides quite a
|
||||
few of functions to work with them. Unfortunately, some of them have rather non
|
||||
intuitive behaviour (like strncpy() which doesn't always terminate the resulting
|
||||
string with a NUL) and are in general not very safe (passing NULL to them will
|
||||
probably lead to program crash). Moreover, some of very useful functions are not
|
||||
standard at all. This is why in addition to all wxString functions, there are
|
||||
also a few of global string functions which try to correct these problems:
|
||||
\helpref{IsEmpty()}{isempty} verifies whether the string is empty (returning
|
||||
TRUE for NULL pointers), \helpref{Strlen()}{strlen} also handles NULLs correctly
|
||||
and returns 0 for them and \helpref{Stricmp()}{stricmp} is just a
|
||||
platform-independent version of case-insensitive string comparison function
|
||||
known either as stricmp() or strcasecmp() on different platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
There is another class which might be useful when working with wxString:
|
||||
\helpref{wxStringTokenizer}{wxstringtokenizer}. It is helpful when a string must
|
||||
be broken into tokens and replaces advatageously the standard C library {\it
|
||||
strtok()} function.
|
||||
|
||||
And the very last string related class is \helpref{wxArrayString}{wxarray}: it
|
||||
is just a version of "template" dynamic array class which is specialized to work
|
||||
with strings. Please note that this class is specially optimized (it uses its
|
||||
knowledge of internal structure of wxString) for storing strigns and so it is
|
||||
vastly better from performance point of view than wxObjectArray of wxString.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection{Reference counting and why you shouldn't care about it}\label{wxstringrefcount}
|
||||
|
||||
wxString objects use a technique known as {\it copy on write} (COW). This means
|
||||
that when a string is assigned to another, no copying really takes place: only
|
||||
the reference count on the shared string data is increased and both strings
|
||||
share the same data.
|
||||
|
||||
But as soon as one of the two (or more) strings is modified, the data has to be
|
||||
copied because the changes to one of the strings shouldn't be seen in the
|
||||
otheres. As data copying only happens when the string is written to, this is
|
||||
known as COW.
|
||||
|
||||
What is important to understand is that all this happens absolutely
|
||||
transparently to the class users and that whether a string is shared or not is
|
||||
not seen from the outside of the class - in any case, the result of any
|
||||
operation on it is the same.
|
||||
|
||||
Probably the unique case when you might want to think about reference
|
||||
counting is when a string character is taken from a string which is not a
|
||||
constant (or a constant reference). In this case, due to C++ rules, the
|
||||
"read-only" {\it operator[]} (which is the same as
|
||||
\helpref{GetChar()}{wxstringgetchar}) cannot be chosen and the "read/write"
|
||||
{\it operator[]} (the same as
|
||||
\helpref{GetWritableChar()}{wxstringgetwritablechar}) is used instead. As the
|
||||
call to this operator may modify the string, its data is unshared (COW is done)
|
||||
and so if the string was really shared there is some performance loss (both in
|
||||
terms of speed and memory consumption). In the rare cases when this may be
|
||||
important, you might prefer using \helpref{GetChar()}{wxstringgetchar} instead
|
||||
of array subscript operator for this reasons. Please note that
|
||||
\helpref{at()}{wxstringat} method has the same problem as subscript operator in
|
||||
this situation and so using it is not really better. Also note that if all
|
||||
string arguments to your functions are passed as {\it const wxString\&} (see the
|
||||
section \helpref{Some advices}{wxstringadvices}) this situation will almost
|
||||
never arise because for constant references the correct operator is called automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection{Tuning wxString for your application}\label{wxstringtuning}
|
||||
|
||||
\normalbox{{\bf Note:} this section is strictly about performance issues and is
|
||||
absolutely not necessary to read for using wxString class. Please skip it unless
|
||||
you feel familiar with profilers and relative tools. If you do read it, please
|
||||
also read the preceding section about
|
||||
\helpref{reference counting}{wxstringrefcounting}.}
|
||||
|
||||
For the performance reasons wxString doesn't allocate exactly the amount of
|
||||
memory needed for each string. Instead, it adds a small amount of space to each
|
||||
allocated block which allows it to not reallocate memory (this is a relatively
|
||||
expensive operation) too often as when, for example, a string is constructed by
|
||||
subsequently adding one character at a time to it, as for example in:
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{verbatim}
|
||||
|
||||
// delete all vowels from the string
|
||||
wxString DeleteAllVowels(const wxString& original)
|
||||
{
|
||||
wxString result;
|
||||
|
||||
size_t len = original.length();
|
||||
for ( size_t n = 0; n < len; n++ )
|
||||
{
|
||||
if ( strchr("aeuio", tolower(original[n])) == NULL )
|
||||
result += original[n];
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return result;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
\end{verbatim}
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quite common situation and not allocating extra memory at all would
|
||||
lead to very bad performance in this case because there would be as many memory
|
||||
(re)allocations as there are consonants in the original string. Allocating too
|
||||
much extra memory would help to improve the speed in this situation, but due to
|
||||
a great number of wxString objects typically used in a program would also
|
||||
increase the memory consumption too much.
|
||||
|
||||
The very best solution in precisely this case would be to use
|
||||
\helpref{Alloc()}{wxstringalloc} function to preallocate, for example, len bytes
|
||||
from the beginning - this will lead to exactly one memory allocation being
|
||||
performed (because the result is at most as long as the original string).
|
||||
|
||||
However, using Alloc() is tedious and so wxString tries to do its best. The
|
||||
default algorithm assumes that memory allocation is done in granularity of at
|
||||
least 16 bytes (which is the case on almost all of wide-spread platforms) and so
|
||||
nothing is lost if the amount of memory to allocate is rounded up to the next
|
||||
multiple of 16. Like this, no memory is lost and 15 iterations from 16 in the
|
||||
example above won't allocate memory but use the already allocated pool.
|
||||
|
||||
The default approach is quite conservative. Allocating more memory may bring
|
||||
important performance benefits for programs using (relatively) few very long
|
||||
strings. The amount of memory allocated is configured by the setting of {\it
|
||||
EXTRA\_ALLOC} in the file string.cpp during compilation (be sure to understand
|
||||
why its default value is what it is before modifying it!). You may try setting
|
||||
it to greater amount (say twice nLen) or to 0 (to see performance degradation
|
||||
which will follow) and analyse the impact of it on your program. If you do it,
|
||||
you will probably find it helpful to also define WXSTRING\_STATISTICS symbol
|
||||
which tells the wxString class to collect performance statistics and to show
|
||||
them on stderr on program termination. This will show you the average length of
|
||||
strings your program manipulates, their average initial length and also the
|
||||
percent of times when memory wasn't reallocated when string concatenation was
|
||||
done but the alread preallocated memory was used (this value should be about
|
||||
98\% for the default allocation policy, if it is less than 90\% you should
|
||||
really consider fine tuning wxString for your application).
|
||||
|
||||
It goes without saying that a profiler should be used to measure the precise
|
||||
difference the change to EXTRA\_ALLOC makes to your program.

These classes will hopefully make writing MT programs easier and they also

provide some extra error checking (compared to the native (be it Win32 or Posix)
|

thread API), however it is still an untrivial undertaking especially for large
|
||||
projects. Before starting an MT application (or starting to add MT features to
|
||||
an existing one) it is worth asking oneself if there is no easier and safer way
|
||||
to implement the same functionality. Of course, in some situations threads
|
||||
really make sense (classical example is a server application which launches a
|
||||
new thread for each new client), but in others it might be a very poor choice
|
||||
(example: launching a separate thread when doing a long computation to show a

progress dialog). Other implementation choices are available: for the progress
|

dialog example it is far better to do the calculations in the

\helpref{idle handler}{wxidleevent} or call \helpref{wxYield()}{wxyield}
|
||||
periodically to update the screen.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do decide to use threads in your application, it is strongly recommended
|
||||
that no more than one thread calls GUI functions. The thread sample shows that
|
||||
it {\it is} possible for many different threads to call GUI functions at once
|
||||
(all the threads created in the sample access GUI), but it is a very poor design
|
||||
choice for anything except an example. The design which uses one GUI thread and
|
||||
several worker threads which communicate with the main one using events is much
|
||||
more robust and will undoubtedly save you countless problems (example: under
|

Win32 a thread can only access GDI objects such as pens, brushes, \&c created by
|

itself and not by the other threads).
|

Final note: in the current release of wxWindows, there are no specific

facilities for communicating between the threads. However, the usual
|

\helpref{ProcessEvent()}{wxevthandlerprocessevent} function may be used for
|
||||
thread communication too - but you should provide your own synchronisation
|

mechanism if you use it (e.g. just use a critical section before sending a

message) because there is no built-in synchronisation.

A strign may be constructed either from a C string, (some number of copies of)

a single character or a wide (UNICODE) string. For all constructors (except the
|

default which creates an empty string) there is also a corresponding assignment

\membersection{Character access}
|
||||
|
||||
Many functions in this section take a character index in the string. As with C
|
||||
strings and/or arrays, the indices start from $0$, so the first character of a
|
||||
string is string[$0$]. Attempt to access a character beyond the end of the
|
||||
string (which may be even $0$ if the string is empty) will provocate an assert
|
||||
failure in \helpref{debug build}{debuggingoverview}, but no checks are done in
|
||||
release builds.
|
||||
|
||||
This section also contains both implicit and explicit conversions to C style
|
||||
strings. Although implicit conversion is quite convenient, it is advised to use
|
||||
explicit \helpref{c\_str()}{wxstringcstr} method for the sake of clarity. Also

||||

use it.

Anything may be concatenated (appended to) with a string. However, you can't

|
||||
should be converted to a wxString first.

\membersection{Comparison}
|
||||
|
||||
The default comparison function \helpref{Cmp}{wxstringcmp} is case-sensitive and
|
||||
so is the default version of \helpref{IsSameAs}{wxstringissameas}. For case
|
||||
insensitive comparisons you should use \helpref{CmpNoCase}{wxstringcmpnocase} or
|
||||
give a second parameter to IsSameAs. This last function is may be more
|
||||
convenient if only equality of the strings matters because it returns a boolean
|
||||
true value if the strings are the same and not 0 (which is usually FALSE in C)
|
||||
as Cmp does.
|
||||
|
||||
\helpref{Matches}{wxstringmatches} is a poor man's regular expression matcher:
|
||||
it only understands '*' and '?' metacharacters in the sense of DOS command line
|
||||
interpreter.

modify the original string and return a new string containing the extracted
|
