Reverted csubstr => csview. Sorry about that!
Added crawstr to become the null-terminated string view.

The implementation holds two +members: a pointer to constant char and a size. See [csview](csview_api.md) for a ***non null-terminated*** +string view/span type. + +Because **crawstr** is null-terminated, it can be an efficient replacent for `const char*`. It never +allocates memory, and therefore need not be destructed. Its lifetime is limited by the source string +storage. It keeps the length of the string, i.e. no need to call *strlen()* for various operations. + +## Header file + +All crawstr definitions and prototypes are available by including a single header file. + +```c +#define i_implement +#include <stc/cstr.h> +#include <stc/crawstr.h> +``` +## Methods + +```c +crawstr crawstr_from(const char* str); // construct from const char* +crawstr c_rs(const char literal_only[]); // construct from literal, no strlen() + +intptr_t crawstr_size(crawstr rs); +bool crawstr_empty(crawstr rs); // check if size == 0 +void crawstr_clear(crawstr* self); +csview crawstr_sv(crawstr rs); // convert to csview type + +bool crawstr_equals(crawstr rs, const char* str); +intptr_t crawstr_find(crawstr rs, const char* str); +bool crawstr_contains(crawstr rs, const char* str); +bool crawstr_starts_with(crawstr rs, const char* str); +bool crawstr_ends_with(crawstr rs, const char* str); +``` + +#### UTF8 methods +```c +intptr_t crawstr_u8_size(crawstr rs); +bool crawstr_valid_utf8(crawstr rs); // depends on src/utf8code.c + +crawstr_iter crawstr_begin(const crawstr* self); +crawstr_iter crawstr_end(const crawstr* self); +void crawstr_next(crawstr_iter* it); // utf8 codepoint step, not byte! +crawstr_iter crawstr_advance(crawstr_iter it, intptr_t n); + + // from utf8.h +intptr_t utf8_size(const char *s); +intptr_t utf8_size_n(const char *s, intptr_t nbytes); // number of UTF8 codepoints within n bytes +const char* utf8_at(const char *s, intptr_t index); // from UTF8 index to char* position +intptr_t utf8_pos(const char* s, intptr_t index); // from UTF8 index to byte index position +unsigned utf8_chr_size(const char* s); // UTF8 character size: 1-4 + // implemented in src/utf8code.c: +bool utf8_valid(const char* s); +bool utf8_valid_n(const char* s, intptr_t nbytes); +uint32_t utf8_decode(utf8_decode_t *d, uint8_t byte); // decode next byte to utf8, return state. +unsigned utf8_encode(char *out, uint32_t codepoint); // encode unicode cp into out buffer +uint32_t utf8_peek(const char* s); // codepoint value of character at s +uint32_t utf8_peek_off(const char* s, int offset); // codepoint value at utf8 pos (may be negative) +``` + +#### Helper methods +```c +int crawstr_cmp(const crawstr* x, const crawstr* y); +int crawstr_icmp(const crawstr* x, const crawstr* y); // depends on src/utf8code.c: +bool crawstr_eq(const crawstr* x, const crawstr* y); +uint64_t crawstr_hash(const crawstr* x); +``` + +## Types + +| Type name | Type definition | Used to represent... | +|:----------------|:-------------------------------------------|:-------------------------| +| `crawstr` | `struct { const char *str; intptr_t size; }` | The string view type | +| `crawstr_value` | `char` | The string element type | +| `crawstr_iter` | `struct { crawstr_value *ref; }` | UTF8 iterator | + +## Example: UTF8 iteration and case conversion +```c +#define i_import +#include <stc/cstr.h> +#include <stc/crawstr.h> + +int main(void) +{ + cstr str = cstr_from("Liberté, égalité, fraternité."); + crawstr rs = cstr_rs(&str); + + c_foreach (i, crawstr, rs) + printf("%.*s ", c_SV(i.u8.chr)); + puts(""); + + cstr_uppercase(&str); + printf("%s\n", cstr_str(&str)); + + cstr_drop(&str); +} +``` +Output: +``` +L i b e r t é , é g a l i t é , f r a t e r n i t é . +LIBERTÉ, ÉGALITÉ, FRATERNITÉ. +``` + +### Example 2: UTF8 replace +```c +#define i_import // include dependent utf8 definitions. +#include <stc/cstr.h> + +int main(void) +{ + cstr s1 = cstr_lit("hell😀 w😀rld"); + + cstr_u8_replace_at(&s1, cstr_find(&s1, "😀rld"), 1, c_rs("ø")); + printf("%s\n", cstr_str(&s1)); + + c_foreach (i, cstr, s1) + printf("%.*s,", c_SV(i.u8.chr)); // u8.chr is a csview + + cstr_drop(&s1); +} +``` +Output: +``` +hell😀 wørld +h,e,l,l,😀, ,w,ø,r,l,d, +``` |
