Cast operators to interact with char based code [Stringbuffer, A class for manipulating strings with dynamic buffers]

Functions
const char *	ChrPtr (const StrBuf *Str)
	Cast operator to Plain String.
int	StrLength (const StrBuf *Str)
	since we know strlen()'s result, provide it here.

Detailed Description

use these operators to interfere with code demanding char*; if you need to own the content, smash me. Avoid, since we loose the length information.

Function Documentation

const char* ChrPtr

(

const StrBuf *

Str

)

[inline]

Cast operator to Plain String.

Note:

if the buffer is altered by StrBuf operations, this pointer may become invalid. So don't lean on it after altering the buffer! Since this operation is considered cheap, rather call it often than risking your pointer to become invalid!

Parameters:

Str

the string we want to get the c-string representation for

Returns:

the Pointer to the Content. Don't mess with it!

int StrLength

(

const StrBuf *

Str

)

[inline]

since we know strlen()'s result, provide it here.

Parameters:

Str

the string to return the length to

contentlength of the buffer
