Struct const_cstr::ConstCStr

pub struct ConstCStr {
    pub val: &'static str,
}

A type representing a static C-compatible string, wrapping &'static str.

Note

Prefer the const_cstr! macro to create an instance of this struct over manual initialization. The macro will include the NUL byte for you.

Fields

val: &'static str

The wrapped string value. Not intended to be used for manual initialization. Public only to allow initialization by the const_cstr! macro.

Includes the NUL terminating byte. Use to_str() to get an &'static str without the NUL terminating byte.

Methods

impl ConstCStr

pub fn to_str(&self) -> &'static str

Returns the wrapped string, without the NUL terminating byte.

Compare to CStr::to_str() which checks that the string is valid UTF-8 first, since it starts from an arbitrary pointer instead of a Rust string slice.

pub fn to_bytes(&self) -> &'static [u8]

Returns the wrapped string as a byte slice, without the NUL terminating byte.

pub fn to_bytes_with_nul(&self) -> &'static [u8]

Returns the wrapped string as a byte slice, with* the NUL terminating byte.

pub fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const c_char

Returns a pointer to the beginning of the wrapped string.

Suitable for passing to any function that expects a C-compatible string. Since the underlying string is guaranteed to be 'static, the pointer should always be valid.

Panics

If the wrapped string is not NUL-terminated. (Unlikely if you used the const_cstr! macro. This is just a sanity check.)

pub fn as_cstr(&self) -> &'static CStr

Returns the wrapped string as an &'static CStr, skipping the length check that CStr::from_ptr() performs (since we know the length already).

Panics

If the wrapped string is not NUL-terminated. (Unlikely if you used the const_cstr! macro. This is just a sanity check.)
