As proposed by SE-0107: UnsafeRawPointer:
https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0107-unsaferawpointer.md#cstring-conversion
Adds String.init(cString: UnsafePointer<UInt8>)
Adds String.nulTerminatedUTF8CString: ContiguousArray<CChar>
This is necessary for eliminating UnsafePointer conversion. Such
conversion is extremely common for interoperability between Swift
strings and C strings to bridge the difference between CChar and
UTF8.CodeUnit. The standard library does not provide any convenient
utilities for converting between the differently typed
buffers. These APIs will handle the simplest cases involving C
interoperability. More convenience can be added later.
[stdlib] Fix the `String.decodeCString` for UTF16 and UTF32
Resolves [SR-1578](https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-1578]
Essentially the problem was that `strlen` is not the right way of
obtaining a length of anything but null-terminated UTF-8 sequence of
characters. Other encodings require alternative mechanisms.
This documentation revision covers a large number of types & protocols:
String, its views and their indices, the Unicode codec types and protocol,
as well as Character, UnicodeScalar, and StaticString, among others.
This also includes a few small changes across the standard library for
consistency.
Implements SE-0055: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0055-optional-unsafe-pointers.md
- Add NULL as an extra inhabitant of Builtin.RawPointer (currently
hardcoded to 0 rather than being target-dependent).
- Import non-object pointers as Optional/IUO when nullable/null_unspecified
(like everything else).
- Change the type checker's *-to-pointer conversions to handle a layer of
optional.
- Use 'AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer<NSError?>?' as the type of error
parameters exported to Objective-C.
- Drop NilLiteralConvertible conformance for all pointer types.
- Update the standard library and then all the tests.
I've decided to leave this commit only updating existing tests; any new
tests will come in the following commits. (That may mean some additional
implementation work to follow.)
The other major piece that's missing here is migration. I'm hoping we get
a lot of that with Swift 1.1's work for optional object references, but
I still need to investigate.
This commit is the result of auditing the following files:
* StringBuffer.swift
* StringCharacterView.swift
* StringCore.swift
* StringInterpolation.swift.gyb
* StringLegacy.swift
This reverts commit 0d001480a9.
The commit that changed the iteration style from c-based loops into for-each
loops caused major regressions in our string benchmarks. Arnold believes that we
are making a different inlining decision in the for-each loops. We should
reapply this patch after we fix the optimizer
The regression was detected in rdar://23776732.
The standard library has grown significantly, and we need a new
directory structure that clearly reflects the role of the APIs, and
allows future growth.
See stdlib/{public,internal,private}/README.txt for more information.
