-- This child package of Ada.Strings.Wide_Unbounded provides some specialized
-- access functions which are intended to allow more efficient use of the
-- facilities of Ada.Strings.Wide_Unbounded, particularly by other layered
-- utilities.
package Ada.Strings.Wide_Unbounded.Aux is
pragma Preelaborate;
procedure Get_Wide_String
(U : Unbounded_Wide_String;
S : out Wide_String_Access;
L : out Natural);
pragma Inline (Get_Wide_String);
-- This procedure returns the internal string pointer used in the
-- representation of an unbounded string as well as the actual current
-- length (which may be less than S.all'Length because in general there
-- can be extra space assigned). The characters of this string may be
-- not be modified via the returned pointer, and are valid only as
-- long as the original unbounded string is not accessed or modified.
--
-- This procedure is much more efficient than the use of To_Wide_String
-- since it avoids the need to copy the string. The lower bound of the
-- referenced string returned by this call is always one, so the actual
-- string data is always accessible as S (1 .. L).
procedure Set_Wide_String
(UP : in out Unbounded_Wide_String;
S : Wide_String);
pragma Inline (Set_Wide_String);
-- This function sets the string contents of the referenced unbounded
-- string to the given string value. It is significantly more efficient
-- than the use of To_Unbounded_Wide_String with an assignment, since it
-- avoids the necessity of messing with finalization chains. The lower
-- bound of the string S is not required to be one.
procedure Set_Wide_String
(UP : in out Unbounded_Wide_String;
S : Wide_String_Access);
pragma Inline (Set_Wide_String);
-- This version of Set_Wide_String takes a string access value, rather
-- than string. The lower bound of the string value is required to be one,
-- and this requirement is not checked.
