public class StringSlice extends AString
AString subclass representing a subsequence of another charsequence
  • Constructor Details

    • StringSlice

      protected StringSlice(AString source, int start, int length)
  • Method Details

    • create

      public static AString create(StringTree source, int start, int len)
    • charAt

      public char charAt(int index)
    • subSequence

      public AString subSequence(int start, int end)
      Specified by:
      subSequence in interface CharSequence
      Specified by:
      subSequence in class AString
    • validateCell

      public void validateCell() throws InvalidDataException
      Description copied from class: ACell
      Validates the local structure and invariants of this cell. Called by validate() super implementation. Should validate directly contained data, but should not validate all other structure of this cell. In particular, should not traverse potentially missing child Refs.
      Specified by:
      validateCell in class ACell
      Throws:
      InvalidDataException - If the Cell is invalid
    • encode

      public int encode(byte[] bs, int pos)
      Description copied from class: ACell
      Writes this Cell's encoding to a byte array, including a tag byte which will be written first
      Specified by:
      encode in interface IWriteable
      Overrides:
      encode in class AString
      Parameters:
      bs - A byte array to which to write the encoding
      pos - The offset into the byte array
      Returns:
      New position after writing
    • encodeRaw

      public int encodeRaw(byte[] bs, int pos)
      Description copied from class: ACell
      Writes this Cell's encoding to a byte array, excluding the tag byte
      Specified by:
      encodeRaw in class ACell
      Parameters:
      bs - A byte array to which to write the encoding
      pos - The offset into the byte array
      Returns:
      New position after writing
    • estimatedEncodingSize

      public int estimatedEncodingSize()
      Description copied from interface: IWriteable
      Estimate the encoded data size for this Cell. Used for quickly sizing buffers. Implementations should try to return a size that is likely to contain the entire object when represented in binary format, including the tag byte.
      Returns:
      The estimated size for the binary representation of this object.
    • isCanonical

      public boolean isCanonical()
      Description copied from class: ACell
      Returns true if this Cell is in a canonical representation for message writing. Non-canonical objects may be used on a temporary internal basis, they must always be converted to canonical representations for external use (e.g. Encoding).
      Specified by:
      isCanonical in class ACell
      Returns:
      true if the object is in canonical format, false otherwise
    • isCVMValue

      public final boolean isCVMValue()
      Description copied from class: ACell
      Returns true if this object represents a first class CVM Value. Sub-structural cells that are not themselves first class values should return false. CVM values might not be in a canonical format, e.g. temporary data structures
      Specified by:
      isCVMValue in class ACell
      Returns:
      true if the object is a CVM Value, false otherwise
    • getRefCount

      public int getRefCount()
      Description copied from class: ACell
      Gets the number of Refs contained within this Cell. This number is final / immutable for any given instance and is defined by the Cell encoding rules. Contained Refs may be either external or embedded.
      Specified by:
      getRefCount in class ACell
      Returns:
      The number of Refs in this Cell
    • appendToStringBuffer

      protected void appendToStringBuffer(StringBuilder sb, int start, int length)
      Specified by:
      appendToStringBuffer in class AString
    • append

      protected AString append(char charValue)
      Specified by:
      append in class AString
    • toCanonical

      public AString toCanonical()
      Description copied from class: ACell
      Converts this Cell to its canonical version. Returns this Cell if already canonical.
      Specified by:
      toCanonical in class ACell
      Returns:
      Canonical version of Cell
