Macro Definition Documentation

◆ Check_SafeStr

#define Check_SafeStr ( v ) rb_check_safe_str(RBIMPL_CAST((VALUE)(v)))

Deprecated:: This macro once was a thing in the old days, but makes no sense any longer today.

Exists here for backwards compatibility only. You can safely forget about it.

Definition at line 344 of file rstring.h.

◆ ExportStringValue

#define ExportStringValue ( v )

Value:

    do { \
    StringValue(v);               \
    (v) = rb_str_export(v);       \
} while (0)

Identical to StringValue, except it additionally converts the string's encoding to default external encoding.

Ruby has a concept called encodings. A string can have different encoding than the environment expects. Someone has to make sure its contents be converted to something suitable. This is that routine. Call it when necessary.

Parameters

[in,out] v Arbitrary Ruby object.

Exceptions

rb_eTypeError No implicit conversion defined.

Returns: Converted Ruby string's backend C string.

Postcondition: v is a String.

Definition at line 117 of file rstring.h.

◆ RSTRING

#define RSTRING ( obj ) RBIMPL_CAST((struct RString *)(obj))

Convenient casting macro.

Parameters

obj	An object, which is in fact an RString.

Returns: The passed object casted to RString.

Definition at line 41 of file rstring.h.

◆ RSTRING_GETMEM

#define RSTRING_GETMEM	(	str,
		ptrvar,
		lenvar
	)

Value:

((ptrvar) = RSTRING_PTR(str), \

(lenvar) = RSTRING_LEN(str))

RSTRING_PTR

static char * RSTRING_PTR(VALUE str)

Queries the contents pointer of the string.

Definition: rstring.h:416

RSTRING_LEN

static long RSTRING_LEN(VALUE str)

Queries the length of the string.

Definition: rstring.h:367

Convenient macro to obtain the contents and length at once.

Parameters

str	String in question.
ptrvar	Variable where its contents is stored.
lenvar	Variable where its length is stored.

Definition at line 488 of file rstring.h.

◆ SafeStringValue

#define SafeStringValue ( v ) StringValue(v)

Deprecated:: This macro once was a thing in the old days, but makes no sense any longer today.

Exists here for backwards compatibility only. You can safely forget about it.

Definition at line 98 of file rstring.h.

◆ StringValue

#define StringValue ( v ) rb_string_value(&(v))

Ensures that the parameter object is a String.

This is done by calling its to_str method.

Parameters

[in,out] v Arbitrary Ruby object.

Exceptions

rb_eTypeError No implicit conversion defined.

Postcondition: v is a String.

Definition at line 66 of file rstring.h.

◆ StringValueCStr

#define StringValueCStr ( v ) rb_string_value_cstr(&(v))

Identical to StringValuePtr, except it additionally checks for the contents for viability as a C string.

Ruby can accept wider range of contents as strings, compared to C. This function is to check that.

Parameters

[in,out] v Arbitrary Ruby object.

Exceptions

rb_eTypeError	No implicit conversion defined.
rb_eArgError	String is not C-compatible.

Returns: Converted Ruby string's backend C string.

Postcondition: v is a String.

Definition at line 89 of file rstring.h.

◆ StringValuePtr

#define StringValuePtr ( v ) rb_string_value_ptr(&(v))

Identical to StringValue, except it returns a char*.

Parameters

[in,out] v Arbitrary Ruby object.

Exceptions

rb_eTypeError No implicit conversion defined.

Returns: Converted Ruby string's backend C string.

Postcondition: v is a String.

Definition at line 76 of file rstring.h.

Returns: Converted ruby string of locale encoding.

Definition at line 1384 of file string.c.
