Detailed Description

String represents an UTF8 encoded string.

This class represents an UTF8 encoded string. It provides almost the same features as the STL std::string class but is UTF8 aware (size() returns the number of characters, not the number of bytes for example).

What is UTF8 and Unicode ?

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8)

Unicode is a computing industry standard for the consistent encoding, representation, and handling of text expressed in most of the world's writing systems. Unicode can be implemented by different character encodings. The most commonly used encodings are UTF-8, UTF-16 and the now-obsolete UCS-2.

UTF-8 is a character encoding capable of encoding all possible characters, or code points, in Unicode. The encoding is variable-length (not every codepoint is 1 byte long) and uses 8-bit code units. It was designed for backward compatibility with ASCII. UTF-8 encodes each of the 1,112,064 valid code points in the Unicode code space using one to four 8-bit bytes (a group of 8 bits is known as an octet in the Unicode Standard). Code points with lower numerical values (i.e., earlier code positions in the Unicode character set, which tend to occur more frequently) are encoded using fewer bytes. The first 128 characters of Unicode, which correspond one-to-one with ASCII, are encoded using a single octet with the same binary value as ASCII, making valid ASCII text valid UTF-8-encoded Unicode as well.

Limitations

The String class stores internally the string as an UTF8 encoded std::string. It results in some limitations : it's impossible to edit a single character with operator[]() nor at() because the new character length might not be the same.

The gd::String class supports almost all Unicode characters, except the ones that can't be represented as a single codepoint (obviously, a codepoint can be represented by 1 to 4 bytes, as codepoints are encoded in UTF8). For examples, some special letters are composed of multiple codepoints (a letter, and the accents). Most of them can be combined into a single codepoint but some can't. These are the not supported ones. See Normalization.

Performance

The UTF8 encoding has the advantage to reduce the RAM consumption compared to UTF16 or UTF32 for strings using a lot of latin characters. But the characters variable length brings some performance issues compared to fixed size encoding. That's why the complexity of each methods is written in their documentation. For instance, the size() method is linear on the string size and so is the operator[]().

Conversions from/to other string types

The String handles implicit conversion with std::String (implicit constructor and implicit conversion operator).

However, this is not the case with std::string as this conversion is not often lossless (mostly on Windows). You need to explicitly call gd::String::FromLocale or gd::String::FromUTF8 to convert a std::string to a String. However, if you want to get a String object from a string literal, you can directly use the operator=() or the constructor as they are supporting const char* as argument (it assumes the string literal is encoded in UTF8, so you'll need to put the u8 prefix).

Conversion from/to std::string

//Get a String from a std::string encoded in the current locale
std::string ansiStr = "Some beautiful localized characters. "; //Encoded in ANSI on Windows, UTF8 on Linux
//Create a String using a string literal encoded in UTF8
gd::String anotherStr = u8"This is an UTF8 string";
//The same as gd::String anotherStr = gd::utf8::FromUTF8(u8"This is an UTF8 string");
//But it works only with string literals.
gd::String finalStr = str + anotherStr; //Concatenates the two Strings
std::cout << finalStr.ToLocale() << std::endl //Shows "Some beautiful localized characters. This is an UTF8 string"
String represents an UTF8 encoded string.

Normalization

This class stores Unicode strings normalized with NFC which means that all characters are combined (if they can). For example, the "à" character can be written in two ways according to the Unicode norm : U+00E0 (the "à" in a single codepoint) or U+0061 (the "a" letter codepoint) + U+0300 "the "`" combining accent. We say that they are canonically equivalent. However, this can cause problem when comparing strings, that's why this class normalizes the string when constructed using the Normalization Form Composition (all characters are combined, e.g. "à" is represented by a single codepoint). If the string is invalid when constructed, the string is not normalized : it will be normalized when the invalid characters will be removed using gd::String::ReplaceInvalid().

Case-insensitive comparison

In Unicode, uppercasing/lowercasing strings to compare them in a case-insensitive way is not recommended. That's why the function gd::CaseInsensitiveEquiv exists to compare two strings in a case-insensitive way.

Member Function Documentation

◆ CaseFold()
