The Better String Library
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Better String Library is an abstraction of a string data type which is
|
||
|
|
superior to the C library char buffer string type, or C++'s std::string.
|
||
|
|
Among the features achieved are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Substantial mitigation of buffer overflow/overrun problems and other
|
||
|
|
failures that result from erroneous usage of the common C string
|
||
|
|
library functions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Significantly simplified string manipulation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- High performance interoperability with other source/libraries which
|
||
|
|
expect '\0' terminated char buffers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Improved overall performance of common string operations
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Functional equivalency with other more modern languages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The library is totally stand alone, portable (known to work with gcc/g++,
|
||
|
|
MSVC++, Intel C++, WATCOM C/C++, Turbo C, Borland C++, IBM's native CC
|
||
|
|
compiler on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X), high performance, easy to use and
|
||
|
|
is not part of some other collection of data structures. Even the file I/O
|
||
|
|
functions are totally abstracted (so that other stream-like mechanisms, like
|
||
|
|
sockets, can be used.) Nevertheless, it is adequate as a complete
|
||
|
|
replacement of the C string library for string manipulation in any C program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The library includes a robust C++ wrapper that uses overloaded operators,
|
||
|
|
rich constructors, exceptions, stream I/O and STL to make the CBString
|
||
|
|
struct a natural and powerful string abstraction with more functionality and
|
||
|
|
higher performance than std::string.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bstrlib is stable, well tested and suitable for any software production
|
||
|
|
environment.
