## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

UString::UString | ( |  | ) |

| Constructs a null string. Definition at line 182 of file ustring.cpp. References null, and rep. Referenced by from(), and substr().

UString::UString | ( | char | c | ) |

| Constructs a string from the single character c. Definition at line 188 of file ustring.cpp.

UString::UString | ( | const char * | c | ) |

| Constructs a string from a classical zero determined char string. Definition at line 195 of file ustring.cpp. References operator=().

UString::UString | ( | const UChar * | c,
|  | int | length
| ) |

| Constructs a string from an array of Unicode characters of the specified length. Definition at line 201 of file ustring.cpp.

UString::UString | ( | UChar * | c,
|  | int | length,
|  | bool | copy
| ) |

| If copy is false a shallow copy of the string will be created. That means that the data will NOT be copied and you'll have to guarantee that it doesn't get deleted during the lifetime of the UString object. Behaviour defaults to a deep copy if copy is true. Definition at line 208 of file ustring.cpp. References KStdAccel::copy().

UString::UString | ( | const UString & |  | ) |

| Copy constructor. Makes a shallow copy only. Definition at line 219 of file ustring.cpp. References rep.

KJS::UString::UString | ( | const QString & |  | ) |

| Convenience declaration only ! You'll be on your own to write the implementation for a construction from QString. Note: feel free to contact me if you want to see a dummy header for your favourite FooString class here !

KJS::UString::UString | ( | const DOM::DOMString & |  | ) |

| Convenience declaration only ! See UString(const QString&).

UString::~UString | ( |  | ) |

| Destructor. If this handle was the only one holding a reference to the string the data will be freed. Definition at line 224 of file ustring.cpp.

## Member Function Documentation

UString UString::from | ( | int | i | ) | `[static]`

| Constructs a string from an int. Definition at line 229 of file ustring.cpp. References UString().

UString UString::from | ( | unsigned int | u | ) | `[static]`

| Constructs a string from an unsigned int. Definition at line 237 of file ustring.cpp. References UString().

UString UString::from | ( | double | d | ) | `[static]`

| Constructs a string from a double. Definition at line 245 of file ustring.cpp. References UString().

CString UString::cstring | ( |  | ) | const

char * UString::ascii | ( |  | ) | const

| Convert the Unicode string to plain ASCII chars chopping of any higher bytes. This method should only be used for *debugging* purposes as it is neither Unicode safe nor free from side effects. In order not to waste any memory the char buffer is static and *shared* by all UString instances. Definition at line 287 of file ustring.cpp. References data(), KJS::UChar::low(), and size().

bool UString::is8Bit | ( |  | ) | const

| Use this if you want to make sure that this string is a plain ASCII string. For example, if you don't want to lose any information when using cstring() or ascii().

| Writable reference to character at specified position. Definition at line 352 of file ustring.cpp.

double UString::toDouble | ( | bool | tolerant = false | ) | const

  | Attempts an conversion to a number. Apart from floating point numbers, the algorithm will recognize hexadecimal representations (as indicated by a 0x or 0X prefix) and +/- Infinity. Returns NaN if the conversion failed. Parameters:
  tolerant | if true, toDouble can tolerate garbage after the number.
