<h2>Strings</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Strings representation inside the Mono runtime.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Synopsis</h3>
|
|
|
|
<div class="header">
|
|
#include <metadata/object.h>
|
|
|
|
typedef struct {
|
|
MonoObject object;
|
|
gint32 length;
|
|
gunichar2 chars [0];
|
|
} MonoString;
|
|
|
|
@API_IDX@
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>All of the operations on strings are done on pointers to
|
|
MonoString objects, like this:
|
|
|
|
<div class="code">
|
|
MonoString *hello = mono_string_new (mono_domain_get (), "hello, world");
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Strings are bound to a particular application domain, which
|
|
is why it is necessary to pass a MonoDomain argument as the
|
|
first parameter to all the constructor functions.
|
|
|
|
<p>Typically, you want to create the strings on the current
|
|
application domain, so a call to <tt>mono_domain_get()</tt> is
|
|
sufficient.

<h3>Other Encodings</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>These routines are used when coping with strings that come
|
|
from Mono's environment, and might be encoded in one or more
|
|
of the external encodings.
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, some file systems might historically contain a
|
|
mix of file names with both old and new encodings, typically
|
|
UTF8 for new files, and the old files would be encoded in an 8
|
|
bit character set (ISO-8859-1 for example).
|
|
|
|
<p>These routines try a number of encodings, those specified
|
|
in the <tt>MONO_ENCODINGS</tt> environment variable and return
|
|
unicode strings that can be used internally.
|
|
|
|
<p>See the mono(1) man page for more details.
