module BatUTF8: sig .. end
UTF-8 encoded Unicode strings. The type is normal string.
type t = string
UTF-8 encoded Unicode strings. The type is normal string.
exception Malformed_code
val validate : t -> unit
validate s
successes if s is valid UTF-8, otherwise raises Malformed_code.
Other functions assume strings are valid UTF-8, so it is prudent
to test their validity for strings from untrusted origins.
val get : t -> int -> BatUChar.t
get s n returns n-th Unicode character of s.
The call requires O(n)-time.
val init : int -> (int -> BatUChar.t) -> t
init len f
returns a new string which contains len Unicode characters.
The i-th Unicode character is initialized by f i
val length : t -> int
length s returns the number of Unicode characters contained in s
type index = int
Positions in the string represented by the number of bytes from the head.
The location of the first character is 0
val nth : t -> int -> index
nth s n returns the position of the n-th Unicode character.
The call requires O(n)-time
val first : t -> index
The position of the head of the first Unicode character.
val last : t -> index
The position of the head of the last Unicode character.
val look : t -> index -> BatUChar.t
look s i
returns the Unicode character of the location i in the string s.
val out_of_range : t -> index -> bool
out_of_range s i
tests whether i is a position inside of s.
val compare_index : t -> index -> index -> int
compare_index s i1 i2 returns
a value < 0 if i1 is the position located before i2,
0 if i1 and i2 points the same location,
a value > 0 if i1 is the position located after i2.
val next : t -> index -> index
next s i
returns the position of the head of the Unicode character
located immediately after i.
If i is inside of s, the function always successes.
If i is inside of s and there is no Unicode character after i,
the position outside s is returned.
If i is not inside of s, the behaviour is unspecified.
val prev : t -> index -> index
prev s i
returns the position of the head of the Unicode character
located immediately before i.
If i is inside of s, the function always successes.
If i is inside of s and there is no Unicode character before i,
the position outside s is returned.
If i is not inside of s, the behaviour is unspecified.
val move : t -> index -> int -> index
move s i n
returns n-th Unicode character after i if n >= 0,
n-th Unicode character before i if n < 0.
If there is no such character, the result is unspecified.
val iter : (BatUChar.t -> unit) -> t -> unit
iter f s
applies f to all Unicode characters in s.
The order of application is same to the order
of the Unicode characters in s.
val compare : t -> t -> int
Code point comparison by the lexicographic order.
compare s1 s2 returns
a positive integer if s1 > s2,
0 if s1 = s2,
a negative integer if s1 < s2.
