+-- This child package of Ada.Strings.Unbounded provides some specialized
+-- access functions which are intended to allow more efficient use of the
+-- facilities of Ada.Strings.Unbounded, particularly by other layered
+-- utilities (such as GNAT.Patterns).
+
+package Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Aux is
+pragma Preelaborate (Aux);
+
+ function Get_String (U : Unbounded_String) return String_Access;
+ pragma Inline (Get_String);
+ -- This function returns the internal string pointer used in the
+ -- representation of an unbounded string. There is no copy involved,
+ -- so the value obtained references the same string as the original
+ -- unbounded string. The characters of this string may not be modified
+ -- via the returned pointer, and are valid only as long as the original
+ -- unbounded string is not modified. Violating either of these two
+ -- rules results in erroneous execution.
+ --
+ -- This function is much more efficient than the use of To_String
+ -- since it avoids the need to copy the string. The lower bound of the
+ -- referenced string returned by this call is always one.
+
+ procedure Set_String (UP : in out Unbounded_String; S : String);
+ pragma Inline (Set_String);
+ -- This function sets the string contents of the referenced unbounded
+ -- string to the given string value. It is significantly more efficient
+ -- than the use of To_Unbounded_String with an assignment, since it
+ -- avoids the necessity of messing with finalization chains. The lower
+ -- bound of the string S is not required to be one.
+
+ procedure Set_String (UP : in out Unbounded_String; S : String_Access);
+ pragma Inline (Set_String);
+ -- This version of Set_String takes a string access value, rather than a
+ -- string. The lower bound of the string value is required to be one, and
+ -- this requirement is not checked.
