# Documentation

data StringBuffer Source #

A StringBuffer is an internal pointer to a sized chunk of bytes. The bytes are intended to be *immutable*. There are pure operations to read the contents of a StringBuffer.

A StringBuffer may have a finalizer, depending on how it was obtained.

# Creation/destruction

hGetStringBuffer :: FilePath -> IO StringBuffer Source #

Read a file into a `StringBuffer`. The resulting buffer is automatically managed by the garbage collector.

hGetStringBufferBlock :: Handle -> Int -> IO StringBuffer Source #

hPutStringBuffer :: Handle -> StringBuffer -> IO () Source #

appendStringBuffers :: StringBuffer -> StringBuffer -> IO StringBuffer Source #

stringToStringBuffer :: String -> StringBuffer Source #

Encode a `String` into a `StringBuffer` as UTF-8. The resulting buffer is automatically managed by the garbage collector.

# Inspection

nextChar :: StringBuffer -> (Char, StringBuffer) Source #

Return the first UTF-8 character of a nonempty `StringBuffer` and as well the remaining portion (analogous to `uncons`). Warning: The behavior is undefined if the `StringBuffer` is empty. The result shares the same buffer as the original. Similar to `utf8DecodeChar`, if the character cannot be decoded as UTF-8, `'\0'` is returned.

currentChar :: StringBuffer -> Char Source #

Return the first UTF-8 character of a nonempty `StringBuffer` (analogous to `head`). Warning: The behavior is undefined if the `StringBuffer` is empty. Similar to `utf8DecodeChar`, if the character cannot be decoded as UTF-8, `'\0'` is returned.

prevChar :: StringBuffer -> Char -> Char Source #

atEnd :: StringBuffer -> Bool Source #

Check whether a `StringBuffer` is empty (analogous to `null`).

# Moving and comparison

stepOn :: StringBuffer -> StringBuffer Source #

Return a `StringBuffer` with the first UTF-8 character removed (analogous to `tail`). Warning: The behavior is undefined if the `StringBuffer` is empty. The result shares the same buffer as the original.

offsetBytes Source #

Arguments

:: Int | `n`, the number of bytes
-> StringBuffer |
-> StringBuffer |

Return a `StringBuffer` with the first `n` bytes removed. Warning: If there aren't enough characters, the returned `StringBuffer` will be invalid and any use of it may lead to undefined behavior. The result shares the same buffer as the original.

byteDiff :: StringBuffer -> StringBuffer -> Int Source #

Compute the difference in offset between two `StringBuffer`s that share the same buffer. Warning: The behavior is undefined if the `StringBuffer`s use separate buffers.

atLine :: Int -> StringBuffer -> Maybe StringBuffer Source #

Computes a `StringBuffer` which points to the first character of the wanted line. Lines begin at 1.

# Conversion

lexemeToString Source #

Arguments

:: StringBuffer |
-> Int | `n`, the number of bytes
-> String |

Decode the first `n` bytes of a `StringBuffer` as UTF-8 into a `String`. Similar to `utf8DecodeChar`, if the character cannot be decoded as UTF-8, they will be replaced with `'\0'`.

lexemeToFastString Source #

Arguments

:: StringBuffer |
-> Int | `n`, the number of bytes
-> FastString |

decodePrevNChars :: Int -> StringBuffer -> String Source #

Return the previous `n` characters (or fewer if we are less than `n` characters into the buffer.

# Parsing integers

parseUnsignedInteger :: StringBuffer -> Int -> Integer -> (Char -> Int) -> Integer Source #
