/** A string class for LyX
-
+
This is a permanent String class. It is modeled closely after the C++ STL
string class. In comparison with STL string lyxstring lack support for
reverse iterators and allocators, also char_traits is not used. In most
do things like #lyxstring a= "";#, especially not in constructors.
If you want to use a default empty lyxstring as a parameter, use
-
- #void foo(lyxstring par = lyxstring()); // Correct#
-
+
+ #void foo(lyxstring par = lyxstring()); // Correct#
+
rather than
- #void foo(lyxstring par = ""); // WRONG!#
- #void foo(lyxstring par = 0); // WRONG!#
+ #void foo(lyxstring par = ""); // WRONG!#
+ #void foo(lyxstring par = 0); // WRONG!#
(The last one is only wrong because some compilers can't handle it.)
Correct: & #foo.substring(0, length()-1);# \\
Wrong: & #bar.substring(0, length());#
\end{tabular}
-
+
It is important that you declare lyxstring as const if possible, because
some methods are much more efficient in const versions.
-
+
If you want to check whether a string is empty, do
- #if (foo.empty()) something right#
+ #if (foo.empty()) something right#
rather than something along the lines of
- #if (!foo) completely wrong#
+ #if (!foo) completely wrong#
When you want to copy an lyxstring, just do
-
+
#lyxstring a, b = "String";#
#a = b; // That's it!#
not something like
-
- #lyxstring a, b = "String";#
- #a = b.copy(); // This leaks. // and does not work either. #
-
+
+ #lyxstring a, b = "String";#
+ #a = b.copy(); // This leaks. // and does not work either. #
+
The class automatically handles deep copying when required.
