bsoncxx::v_noabi::string::view_or_value Class Reference

#include <bsoncxx/v_noabi/bsoncxx/string/view_or_value.hpp>

Description

A view-or-value variant type for strings.

Derived From

• bsoncxx::v_noabi::view_or_value<stdx::string_view, std::string>

This class adds several string-specific methods to the bsoncxx::v_noabi::view_or_value template:

• a constructor overload for char const*
• a constructor overload for std::string by l-value reference
• a safe c_str() operation to return null-terminated c-style strings.

Public Member Functions
	view_or_value ()=default
	Default constructor, equivalent to using an empty string.
	view_or_value (char const *str)
	Construct a string::view_or_value using a null-terminated const char *. The resulting view_or_value will keep a string_view of 'str', so it is important that the passed-in string outlive this object.
	view_or_value (std::string const &str)
	Allow construction with an l-value reference to a std::string. The resulting view_or_value will keep a string_view of 'str', so it is important that the passed-in string outlive this object.
char const *	data () const
	Call data() on this view_or_value's string_view. This method is not guaranteed to return a null-terminated string unless it is used in combination with terminated().
view_or_value	terminated () const
	Return a string_view_or_value that is guaranteed to hold a null-terminated string. The lifetime of the returned object must be a subset of this object's lifetime, because the new view_or_value might hold a view into this one.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

view_or_value() [1/3]

bsoncxx::v_noabi::string::view_or_value::view_or_value ( )

default

Default constructor, equivalent to using an empty string.

view_or_value() [2/3]

bsoncxx::v_noabi::string::view_or_value::view_or_value ( char const * str )

inline

Construct a string::view_or_value using a null-terminated const char *. The resulting view_or_value will keep a string_view of 'str', so it is important that the passed-in string outlive this object.

Parameters

str	A null-terminated string

view_or_value() [3/3]

bsoncxx::v_noabi::string::view_or_value::view_or_value ( std::string const & str )

inline

Allow construction with an l-value reference to a std::string. The resulting view_or_value will keep a string_view of 'str', so it is important that the passed-in string outlive this object.

Construction calls passing a std::string by r-value reference will use the constructor defined in the parent view_or_value class.

Parameters

str	A std::string l-value reference.

Member Function Documentation

data()

char const * bsoncxx::v_noabi::string::view_or_value::data

(

)

const

Call data() on this view_or_value's string_view. This method is not guaranteed to return a null-terminated string unless it is used in combination with terminated().

Returns

A char const* of this string.

terminated()

view_or_value bsoncxx::v_noabi::string::view_or_value::terminated

(

)

const

Return a string_view_or_value that is guaranteed to hold a null-terminated string. The lifetime of the returned object must be a subset of this object's lifetime, because the new view_or_value might hold a view into this one.

It is recommended that this method be used before calling .data() on a view_or_value, as that method may return a non-null-terminated string.

Returns

A new view_or_value object.
