DESCRIPTION

Compile switch constants

       Constant:  USTR_CONF_INCLUDE_CODEONLY_HEADERS

       Explanation:

         This  switch  controls whether all the code will be included as inline functions. Having
       this be non-zero means that you don't have to link against the library.

       Constant:  USTR_CONF_USE_EOS_MARK

       Explanation:

         This switch turns on End of String markers, so any bounds overflow will  be  noticed  by
       ustr_assert_valid().

       Note:

         Changing  this  will not do anything useful unless USTR_CONF_INCLUDE_CODEONLY_HEADERS is
       non-zero.

       Constant:  USTR_CONF_USE_ASSERT

       Explanation:

         This switch turns USTR_ASSERT() calls on, so the code within  them  will  be  evaluated.
       Note that there are many calls to ustr_assert_valid() within USTR_ASSERT() macros and that
       call is relatively expensive.

       Note:

         Changing this will not do anything useful unless  USTR_CONF_INCLUDE_CODEONLY_HEADERS  is
       non-zero.

       Constant:  USTR_CONF_COMPILE_USE_ATTRIBUTES

       Explanation:

         This  switch controls whether gcc type __attribute__() statements are used in the public
       headers headers for the library. If the value is 1 then  if  they  are  supported  by  the
       compiler that built the library they will be used, if the value is 0 they won't be used at
       all.

       Constant:  USTR_CONF_COMPILE_TYPEDEF

       Explanation:

         This switch controls whether typedef will be used for the structs in the public  headers
       for the library. If the value is 1 then they will be used, if the value is 0 they won't be
       used at all (and your code will have to use struct tags  instead  --  note  all  libraries
       using ustr should compile without this option set).
       Constant:  USTR_CONF_COMPILE_USE_INLINE

       Explanation:

         This  switch  controls  whether  inline  functions will be used in a few cases where the
       function bodies are very small.

       Note:

         In some cases this is used so that GCC can eliminate calls to strlen(), for the *_cstr()
       functions.

       Explanation:

         This  macro  is  a  constant C-style string of the first byte of a fixed Ustr that has a
       length in the range 0-65535.

       Constant:  USTR_BEG_FIXED4

       Explanation:

       length in the range 0-4294967295.

       Constant:  USTR_BEG_FIXED8

       Explanation:

         This  macro  is  a  constant C-style string of the first byte of a fixed Ustr that has a
       length in the range 0-18446744073709551615.

       Note:

         This macro is only available if the Ustr code was compiled in a 64bit environment.

       Constant:  USTR_END_ALOCDx

       Explanation:

         This macro is a constant C-style string of the last bytes of an allocated Ustr.

       Note:

         Unless USTR_CONF_USE_EOS_MARK is non-zero, this is just the NIL byte.

       Constant:  USTR_END_CONSTx

       Explanation:

         This macro is a constant C-style string of the last bytes of a constant/read-only Ustr.

       Constant:  USTR_END_FIXEDx

       Explanation:

         This macro is a constant C-style string of the last bytes of a fixed Ustr.

       Note:

         Unless USTR_CONF_USE_EOS_MARK is non-zero, this is just the NIL byte.

Constants to use with parsing numbers: ustr_parse_uintmaxx, etc.

       Constant:  USTR_FLAG_PARSE_NUM_DEF

       Explanation:

         Default flags, this is merely 0 but can be used as live documentation.

       Constant:  USTR_FLAG_PARSE_NUM_SEP

       Explanation:

         This flag allows the parsing (and ignoring) of the  separator  character,  at  arbitrary
       pointers  in  the number, so "1234" and "1_234" would both parse the same (assuming "_" is
       the separator).

       Constant:  USTR_FLAG_PARSE_NUM_OVERFLOW

       Explanation:

         This  flag   turns   on   the   overflow   checking,   in   other   words   without   it
       USTR_TYPE_PARSE_NUM_ERR_OVERFLOW will never be returned as an error code.

       Constant:  USTR_FLAG_PARSE_NUM_SPACE

       Explanation:

         This  flag  allows one or more ' ' (Space) characters before the number or number prefix
       (Plus Sign, Hyphen).

       Note:

         Other forms of whitespace don't count, this just affects ' '.

       Constant:  USTR_FLAG_PARSE_NUM_NO_BEG_ZERO

       Explanation:

         This flag disallows one or more '0' (Digit Zero) characters before the number.

       Constant:  USTR_FLAG_PARSE_NUM_NO_BEG_PM

       Explanation:

         This flag disallows a plus or a minus character before the number.

       Constant:  USTR_FLAG_PARSE_NUM_NO_NEGATIVE

       Explanation:

         This flag disallows negative values.

       Constant:  USTR_FLAG_PARSE_NUM_EXACT

       Explanation:

         This flag makes the parsing functions return an  error  if  the  entire  string  doesn't
       contain the number being parsed.

       Constant:  USTR_TYPE_PARSE_NUM_ERR_NONE

       Explanation:

         This error code has the value 0, and means that no error occurred parsing the number.

       Constant:  USTR_TYPE_PARSE_NUM_ERR_ONLY_S

       Explanation:

         This error code means that the Ustr string consisted only of spaces.

       Constant:  USTR_TYPE_PARSE_NUM_ERR_ONLY_SPM

       Explanation:

         This  error  code  means that the Ustr string consisted only spaces, and a plus or minus
       sign.

       Constant:  USTR_TYPE_PARSE_NUM_ERR_ONLY_SPMX

       Explanation:

         This error code means that the Ustr string consisted of only spaces,  a  plus  or  minus
       sign and a "0x" base 16 prefix.
       Constant:  USTR_TYPE_PARSE_NUM_ERR_OOB

       Explanation:

         This error code means that the Ustr string had characters in it that where out of bounds
       from the working base.

       Note:

         Without the USTR_FLAG_PARSE_NUM_EXACT, this error is ignored as soon as  any  number  is
       parsed.
         This out of bounds includes the Ustr string "++" as well as "4A", when parsing in a base
       less than 11.

       Constant:  USTR_TYPE_PARSE_NUM_ERR_OVERFLOW

       Explanation:

         This error code means that the number parsed from the Ustr  string  would  overflow  the
       type  it is being parsed into, this is only returned when the USTR_FLAG_PARSE_NUM_OVERFLOW
       flag was passed to the parse function.

       Constant:  USTR_TYPE_PARSE_NUM_ERR_NEGATIVE

       Explanation:

         This error code means that the number parsed from the Vstr  string  starts  with  a  '-'
       (Hyphen) character when it is supposed to be an unsigned number.

       Constant:  USTR_TYPE_PARSE_NUM_ERR_BEG_ZERO

       Explanation:

         This  error  code  means  that  the number parsed from the Vstr string starts with a '0'
       (Digit Zero) character, when the USTR_FLAG_PARSE_NUM_NO_BEG_ZERO flag was  passed  to  the
       parse function.

Constants to pass to ustr_split*

       Constant:  USTR_FLAG_SPLIT_DEF

       Explanation:

         Default flags, this is merely 0 but can be used as live documentation.

       Constant:  USTR_FLAG_SPLIT_RET_SEP

       Explanation:

         Return the separator along with the tokens. For example splitting "a,b," using separator
       "," will return the tokens "a," and "b," whereas without this flag only "a" and "b"  would
       be returned.
           .br Constant:  USTR_FLAG_SPLIT_RET_NON

       Explanation:

         Return  empty  tokens.  For example: splitting "a,,b" with separator "," will return the
       tokens {"a" "" "b"}.
       Constant:  USTR_FLAG_SPLIT_KEEP_CONFIG

       Explanation:

         Force the returned Ustr's to have same configuration parameters as the Ustr string  that
       is being split.

Misc constants to use in code

       Constant:  USTR_NULL

       Explanation:

         This  macro  is merely 0 cast to (struct Ustr *), and can be used anywhere NULL would be
       but "returns" the correct type.

       Constant:  USTR_POOL_NULL

       Explanation:

         This macro is merely 0 cast to (struct Ustr_pool *), and can be used anywhere NULL would
       be but "returns" the correct type.

       Constant:  USTR_TRUE

       Explanation:

         This macro is 1, but shows the intent that a boolean value is expected and not a number.

       Constant:  USTR_FALSE

       Explanation:

         This macro is 0, but shows the intent that a boolean value is expected and not a number.

Constants passed to ustr_cntl_opt()

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_GET_REF_BYTES

       Parameter[1]: Number of bytes for default reference count in Ustr
       Type[1]: size_t *

       Explanation:

         This  option  will  get  the  default  number  of  bytes used for a reference count when
       creating Ustr's.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_SET_REF_BYTES

       Parameter[1]: Number of bytes for default reference count in Ustr
       Type[1]: size_t

       Explanation:

         This option will set the default number  of  bytes  used  for  a  reference  count  when
       creating Ustr's.

       Note:

         For a single instance, the ustr_dupx_*() functions can be used.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_GET_HAS_SIZE

       Parameter[1]: Default flag for whether to include an explicit size in a Ustr
       Type[1]: int *

       Explanation:

         This  option  will get the default flag for whether to store an explicit size in created
       Ustr's.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_SET_HAS_SIZE

       Parameter[1]: Default flag for whether to include an explicit size in a Ustr
       Type[1]: int

       Explanation:

         This option will set the default flag for whether to store an explicit size  in  created
       Ustr's.

       Note:

         For a single instance, the ustr_dupx_*() functions can be used.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_GET_EXACT_BYTES

       Parameter[1]: Default flag for whether to exactly allocate memory
       Type[1]: int *

       Explanation:

         This option will get the default flag for whether to exactly allocate memory when a Ustr
       needs to be resized.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_SET_EXACT_BYTES

       Parameter[1]: Default flag for whether to exactly allocate memory
       Type[1]: int

       Explanation:

         This option will set the default flag for whether to exactly allocate memory when a Ustr
       needs to be resized.

       Note:

         For a single instance, the ustr_dupx_*() functions can be used.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_GET_MEM
       Parameter[1]: Pointer to colleciton of function pointers for system allocation
       Type[1]: struct Ustr_cntl_mem *

       Explanation:

         This  option  will  get  the  "system"  allocation functions (malloc, realloc, free) for
       allocated Ustr's.

       Note:

         As you would expect the default values are: malloc, realloc, free.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_SET_MEM
       Parameter[1]: Pointer to colleciton of function pointers for system allocation
       Type[1]: const struct Ustr_cntl_mem *

       Explanation:

         This option will set the "system"  allocation  functions  (malloc,  realloc,  free)  for
       allocated Ustr's.

       Note:

         If  this  option is set after a Ustr has been created, then when freeing or reallocating
       the existing Ustr the given functions will be used. So they must either be compatible with
       the default or you must ensure that nothing is allocated before they are set.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_GET_MC_M_SCRUB

       Parameter[1]: Flag for whether to include an explicit size in a Ustr
       Type[1]: int *

       Explanation:

         This option will get the flag for whether to "scrub" data allocated via. malloc check.

       Note:

         Malloc  check  has  to  be enabled for this to mean anything, Ie. USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_LVL()
       must be positive.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_SET_MC_M_SCRUB

       Parameter[1]: Flag for whether to include an explicit size in a Ustr
       Type[1]: int

       Explanation:

         This option will set the flag for whether to "scrub" data allocated via. malloc check.

       Note:

         Malloc check has to be enabled for this to  mean  anything,  Ie.  USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_LVL()
       must be positive.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_GET_MC_F_SCRUB

       Parameter[1]: Flag for whether to include an explicit size in a Ustr
       Type[1]: int *

       Explanation:

         This option will get the flag for whether to "scrub" data freed via. malloc check.

       Note:

         Malloc  check  has  to  be enabled for this to mean anything, Ie. USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_LVL()
       must be positive.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_SET_MC_F_SCRUB

       Parameter[1]: Flag for whether to include an explicit size in a Ustr
       Type[1]: int

       Explanation:

         This option will set the flag for whether to "scrub" data freed via. malloc check.

       Note:

         Malloc check has to be enabled for this to  mean  anything,  Ie.  USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_LVL()
       must be positive.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_GET_MC_R_SCRUB

       Parameter[1]: Flag for whether to include an explicit size in a Ustr
       Type[1]: int *

       Explanation:

         This option will get the flag for whether to "scrub" data reallocated via. malloc check.
       This is done by turning all reallocations into a malloc() and free(), and so is even  more
       costly than normal scrubbing.

       Note:

         Malloc  check  has  to  be enabled for this to mean anything, Ie. USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_LVL()
       must be positive.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_SET_MC_R_SCRUB

       Parameter[1]: Flag for whether to include an explicit size in a Ustr
       Type[1]: int

       Explanation:

         This option will set the flag for whether to "scrub" data reallocated via. malloc check.
       This  is done by turning all reallocations into a malloc() and free(), and so is even more
       costly than normal scrubbing.

       Note:

         Malloc check has to be enabled for this to  mean  anything,  Ie.  USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_LVL()
       must be positive.

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_GET_FMT
       Parameter[1]: Pointer to colleciton of function pointers for system formating
       Type[1]: struct Ustr_cntl_fmt *

       Explanation:

         This option will get the system formatting functions (vsnprintf) for Ustr's.
         There  are  two  functions,  the  first is always called and the second is likely called
       (always with the exact same arguments) if the length passed to the first call was not  big
       enough.

       Note:

         As you would expect the default values are: vsnprintf and vsnprintf

       Constant:  USTR_CNTL_OPT_SET_FMT
       Parameter[1]: Pointer to colleciton of function pointers for system formatting
       Type[1]: const struct Ustr_cntl_fmt *

       Explanation:

         This option will set the system formatting functions (vsnprintf) for Ustr's.

Constants passed to ustr_pool_ll_cntl()

       Constant:  USTR_POOL_LL_CNTL_GET_FREE_CMP

       Parameter[1]: Number of pointers to compare to in the pool
       Type[1]: unsigned int *

       Explanation:

         This option will get the number of comparisons done on a pool free operation.

       Constant:  USTR_POOL_LL_CNTL_SET_FREE_CMP

       Parameter[1]: Number of pointers to compare to in the pool
       Type[1]: unsigned int

       Explanation:

         This option will set the number of comparisons done on a pool free operation.

       Note:

         The  default  is a small non-zero value, as it's significantly common to have very short
       lived ustr's ... however this doesn't mean that you can't forget to take  references  even
       with pool allocated ustrs.

       Constant:  USTR_POOL_LL_CNTL_GET_REALLOC

       Parameter[1]: Flag for if we should call realloc()
       Type[1]: int *

       Explanation:

         This option will get the flag for if we call realloc() to make data bigger, or revert to
       just allocating anew each time.

       Constant:  USTR_POOL_LL_CNTL_SET_REALLOC

       Parameter[1]: Flag for if we should call realloc()
       Type[1]: int

       Explanation:

         This option will set the flag for if we call realloc() to make data bigger, or revert to
       just allocating anew each time.

       Note:

         As  with  USTR_POOL_LL_CNTL_SET_FREE_CMP  this  option  means you can't assume that pool
       allocated data is never freed until ustr_pool_free() is called, and again  it  is  due  to
       there  being  significant  speed  improvements  for not making that assumption. Instead of
       disabling this option, just take areference (which will also  make  sure  the  ustr  isn't
       modified behind your back).
