One must therefore avoid pointer arithmetic and always use * SysAllocString and the like to deal with BSTR pointers, which manage * that DWORD correctly. * * For platforms other than Windows, we provide our own versions of the * Sys* functions in Main/xpcom/helpers.cpp which do NOT use length * prefixes though to be compatible with how XPCOM allocates string * parameters to public functions. * * The Bstr class hides all this handling behind a std::string-like interface * and also provides automatic conversions to MiniString and Utf8Str instances. * * The one advantage of using the SysString* routines is that this makes it * possible to use it as a type of member variables of COM/XPCOM components * and pass their values to callers through component methods' output parameters * using the #cloneTo() operation. Also, the class can adopt (take ownership of) * string buffers returned in output parameters of COM methods using the * #asOutParam() operation and correctly free them afterwards. * * Starting with VirtualBox 3.2, like Utf8Str, Bstr no longer differentiates * between NULL strings and empty strings. In other words, Bstr("") and * Bstr(NULL) behave the same. In both cases, Bstr allocates no memory, * reports a zero length and zero allocated bytes for both, and returns an * empty C wide string from raw(). */ class Bstr { public: Bstr() : m_bstr(NULL) { } Bstr(const Bstr &that) { copyFrom((const OLECHAR *)that.m_bstr); } Bstr(CBSTR that) { copyFrom((const OLECHAR *)that); } #if defined (VBOX_WITH_XPCOM) Bstr(const wchar_t *that) { AssertCompile(sizeof(wchar_t) == sizeof(OLECHAR)); copyFrom((const OLECHAR *)that); } #endif Bstr(const iprt::MiniString &that) { copyFrom(that.raw()); } Bstr(const char *that) { copyFrom(that); } ~Bstr() { setNull(); } Bstr& operator=(const Bstr &that) { cleanup(); copyFrom((const OLECHAR *)that.m_bstr); return *this; } Bstr& operator=(CBSTR that) { cleanup(); copyFrom((const OLECHAR *)that); return *this; } #if defined (VBOX_WITH_XPCOM) Bstr& operator=(const wchar_t *that) { cleanup(); copyFrom((const OLECHAR *)that); return *this; } #endif Bstr& setNull() { cleanup(); return *this; } /** Case sensitivity selector. */ enum CaseSensitivity { CaseSensitive, CaseInsensitive }; /** * Compares the member string to str. * @param str * @param cs Whether comparison should be case-sensitive. * @return */ int compare(CBSTR str, CaseSensitivity cs = CaseSensitive) const { if (cs == CaseSensitive) return ::RTUtf16Cmp((PRTUTF16)m_bstr, (PRTUTF16)str); return ::RTUtf16LocaleICmp((PRTUTF16)m_bstr, (PRTUTF16)str); } int compare(BSTR str) const { return compare((CBSTR)str); } bool operator==(const Bstr &that) const { return !compare(that.m_bstr); } bool operator!=(const Bstr &that) const { return !!compare(that.m_bstr); } bool operator==(CBSTR that) const { return !compare(that); } bool operator==(BSTR that) const { return !compare(that); } bool operator!=(CBSTR that) const { return !!compare(that); } bool operator!=(BSTR that) const { return !!compare(that); } bool operator<(const Bstr &that) const { return compare(that.m_bstr) < 0; } bool operator<(CBSTR that) const { return compare(that) < 0; } bool operator<(BSTR that) const { return compare(that) < 0; } /** * Returns true if the member string has no length. * This is true for instances created from both NULL and "" input strings. * * @note Always use this method to check if an instance is empty.
