nsAString_internal

Class Declaration 

nsTSubstring is the most abstract class in the string hierarchy. It
represents a single contiguous array of characters, which may or may not
be null-terminated. This type is not instantiated directly.  A sub-class
is instantiated instead.  For example, see nsTString.
NAMES:
nsAString for wide characters
nsACString for narrow characters
Many of the accessors on nsTSubstring are inlined as an optimization.

PRUint32 GetData(const PRUnichar**) const - source 
Get a const pointer to the string's internal buffer.  The caller

current length of the string is used.  The caller MAY modify the
characters at the returned address (up to but not exceeding the
length of the string).
@returns The length of the buffer in characters or 0 if unable to
satisfy the request due to low-memory conditions.

Parameters

  • PRUnichar** data
  • PRUint32 newLen

string data is never null, but can be marked void.  if true, the
string will be truncated.  @see nsTSubstring::IsVoid

Parameters

  • PRBool <anonymous>
