UTF-8 is handled especially efficiently, and if the encoding 36-- method is known at compile time to be WCEM_UTF8, then the instantiation 37-- is specialized to handle only the UTF-8 case and exclude code for the 38-- other encoding methods. The package also provides positioning routines 39-- for skipping encoded characters in either direction, and for validating 40-- strings for correct encodings. 41 42-- Note: this package is only about decoding sequences of 8-bit characters 43-- into corresponding 16-bit Wide_String or 32-bit Wide_Wide_String values. 44-- It knows nothing at all about the character encodings being used for the 45-- resulting Wide_Character and Wide_Wide_Character values. Most often this 46-- will be Unicode/ISO-10646 as specified by the Ada RM, but this package 47-- does not make any assumptions about the character coding. See also the 48-- packages Ada.Wide_[Wide_]Characters.Unicode for unicode specific functions. 49 50-- Note on the use of brackets encoding (WCEM_Brackets). The brackets encoding 51-- method is ambiguous in the context of this package, since there is no way 52-- to tell if ["1234"] is eight unencoded characters or one encoded character. 53-- In the context of Ada sources, any sequence starting [" must be the start 54-- of an encoding (since that sequence is not valid in Ada source otherwise). 55-- The routines in this package use the same approach. If the input string 56-- contains the sequence [" then this is assumed to be the start of a brackets 57-- encoding sequence, and if it does not match the syntax, an error is raised. 58-- In the case of the Prev functions, a sequence ending with "] is assumed to 59-- be a valid brackets sequence, and an error is raised if it is not. 60 61with System.WCh_Con; 62 63generic 64 Encoding_Method : System.WCh_Con.WC_Encoding_Method; 65 66package GNAT.Decode_String is 67 pragma Pure; 68 69 function Decode_Wide_String (S : String) return Wide_String; 70 pragma Inline (Decode_Wide_String); 71 -- Decode the given String, which is encoded using the indicated coding 72 -- method, returning the corresponding decoded Wide_String value.

On 82 -- return, Length is set to the number of characters stored in Result. The 83 -- caller must ensure that Result is long enough (an easy choice is to set 84 -- the length equal to the S'Length, since decoding can never increase the 85 -- string length). If the length of Result is insufficient Constraint_Error 86 -- will be raised. 87 88 function Decode_Wide_Wide_String (S : String) return Wide_Wide_String; 89 pragma Inline (Decode_Wide_Wide_String); 90 -- Same as above function but for Wide_Wide_String output 91 92 procedure Decode_Wide_Wide_String 93 (S : String; 94 Result : out Wide_Wide_String; 95 Length : out Natural); 96 -- Same as above procedure, but for Wide_Wide_String output 97 98 function Validate_Wide_String (S : String) return Boolean; 99 -- This function inspects the string S to determine if it contains only 100 -- valid encodings corresponding to Wide_Character values using the 101 -- given encoding.

If the call would have raised Constraint_Error, then 104 -- Validate_Wide_String will return False. 105 106 function Validate_Wide_Wide_String (S : String) return Boolean; 107 -- Similar to Validate_Wide_String, except that it succeeds if the string 108 -- contains only encodings corresponding to Wide_Wide_Character values. 109 110 procedure Decode_Wide_Character 111 (Input : String; 112 Ptr : in out Natural; 113 Result : out Wide_Character); 114 pragma Inline (Decode_Wide_Character); 115 -- This is a lower level procedure that decodes a single character using 116 -- the given encoding method. The encoded character is stored in Input, 117 -- starting at Input (Ptr). The resulting output character is stored in 118 -- Result, and on return Ptr is updated past the input character or 119 -- encoding sequence. Constraint_Error will be raised if the input has 120 -- has a character that cannot be represented using the given encoding, 121 -- or if Ptr is outside the bounds of the Input string. 122 123 procedure Decode_Wide_Wide_Character 124 (Input : String; 125 Ptr : in out Natural; 126 Result : out Wide_Wide_Character); 127 -- Same as above procedure but with Wide_Wide_Character input 128 129 procedure Next_Wide_Character (Input : String; Ptr : in out Natural); 130 -- This procedure examines the input string starting at Input (Ptr), and 131 -- advances Ptr past one character in the encoded string, so that on return 132 -- Ptr points to the next encoded character. Constraint_Error is raised if 133 -- an invalid encoding is encountered, or the end of the string is reached 134 -- or if Ptr is less than String'First on entry, or if the character 135 -- skipped is not a valid Wide_Character code. This call may be more 136 -- efficient than calling Decode_Wide_Character and discarding the result. 137 138 procedure Prev_Wide_Character (Input : String; Ptr : in out Natural); 139 -- This procedure is similar to Next_Encoded_Character except that it moves 140 -- backwards in the string, so that on return, Ptr is set to point to the 141 -- previous encoded character. Constraint_Error is raised if the start of 142 -- the string is encountered. It is valid for Ptr to be one past the end 143 -- of the string for this call (in which case on return it will point to 144 -- the last encoded character). 145 -- 146 -- Note: it is not generally possible to do this function efficiently with 147 -- all encodings, the current implementation is only efficient for the case 148 -- of UTF-8 (Encoding_Method = WCEM_UTF8) and Brackets (Encoding_Method = 149 -- WCEM_Brackets). For all other encodings, we work by starting at the 150 -- beginning of the string and moving forward till Ptr is reached, which 151 -- is correct but slow. 152 153 procedure Next_Wide_Wide_Character (Input : String; Ptr : in out Natural); 154 -- Similar to Next_Wide_Character except that codes skipped must be valid 155 -- Wide_Wide_Character codes. 156 157 procedure Prev_Wide_Wide_Character (Input : String; Ptr : in out Natural); 158 -- Similar to Prev_Wide_Character except that codes skipped must be valid 159 -- Wide_Wide_Character codes. 160 161end GNAT.Decode_String; 162
