42 Please note: CFStrings are conceptually an array of Unicode characters.
43 However, in general, how a CFString stores this array is an implementation
44 detail. For instance, CFString might choose to use an array of 8-bit characters
45 to store its contents, or it might use multiple blocks of memory, or whatever.
46 This is especially true since CFString is toll-free bridged with NSString, enabling
47 any NSString instance to be used as a CFString. Furthermore, the implementation
48 may change depending on the default system encoding, the user's language,
49 or even a release or update of the OS.
51 What this means is that you should use the following advanced functions with care:
53 CFStringGetPascalStringPtr()
54 CFStringGetCStringPtr()
55 CFStringGetCharactersPtr()
57 These functions are provided for optimization only. They will either return the desired
58 pointer quickly, in constant time, or they return NULL. They might choose to return NULL
59 for many reasons; for instance it's possible that for users running in different
60 languages these sometimes return NULL; or in a future OS release the first two might
61 switch to always returning NULL. Never observing NULL returns in your usages of these
62 functions does not mean they won't ever return NULL. (But note the CFStringGetCharactersPtr()
63 exception mentioned further below.)
65 In your usages of these functions, if you get a NULL return, use the non-Ptr version
66 of the functions as shown in this example:
69 const char *ptr = CFStringGetCStringPtr(str, encoding);
71 if (CFStringGetCString(str, buffer, BUFSIZE, encoding)) ptr = buffer;
74 Note that CFStringGetCString() or CFStringGetPascalString() calls might still fail --- but
75 that will happen in two circumstances only: The conversion from the UniChar contents of CFString
76 to the specified encoding fails, or the buffer is too small. If they fail, that means
77 the conversion was not possible.
79 If you need a copy of the buffer in the above example, you might consider simply calling
80 CFStringGetCString() in all cases --- CFStringGetCStringPtr() is simply an optimization.
82 In addition, the following functions, which create immutable CFStrings from developer
83 supplied buffers without copying the buffers, might have to actually copy
84 under certain circumstances (If they do copy, the buffer will be dealt with by the
85 "contentsDeallocator" argument.):
87 CFStringCreateWithPascalStringNoCopy()
88 CFStringCreateWithCStringNoCopy()
89 CFStringCreateWithCharactersNoCopy()
91 You should of course never depend on the backing store of these CFStrings being
92 what you provided, and in other no circumstance should you change the contents
93 of that buffer (given that would break the invariant about the CFString being immutable).
95 Having said all this, there are actually ways to create a CFString where the backing store
96 is external, and can be manipulated by the developer or CFString itself:
98 CFStringCreateMutableWithExternalCharactersNoCopy()
99 CFStringSetExternalCharactersNoCopy()
101 A "contentsAllocator" is used to realloc or free the backing store by CFString.
102 kCFAllocatorNull can be provided to assure CFString will never realloc or free the buffer.
103 Developer can call CFStringSetExternalCharactersNoCopy() to update
104 CFString's idea of what's going on, if the buffer is changed externally. In these
105 strings, CFStringGetCharactersPtr() is guaranteed to return the external buffer.
107 These functions are here to allow wrapping a buffer of UniChar characters in a CFString,
108 allowing the buffer to passed into CFString functions and also manipulated via CFString
109 mutation functions. In general, developers should not use this technique for all strings,
110 as it prevents CFString from using certain optimizations.

146 /* CFSTR() allows creation of compile-time constant CFStringRefs; the argument
147 should be a constant C-string.
149 CFSTR(), not being a "Copy" or "Create" function, does not return a new
150 reference for you. So, you should not release the return value. This is
151 much like constant C or Pascal strings --- when you use "hello world"
152 in a program, you do not free it.
154 However, strings returned from CFSTR() can be retained and released in a
155 properly nested fashion, just like any other CF type. That is, if you pass
156 a CFSTR() return value to a function such as SetMenuItemWithCFString(), the
157 function can retain it, then later, when it's done with it, it can release it.
159 Non-7 bit characters (that is, above 127) in CFSTR() are supported, although care must
160 be taken in dealing with files containing them. If you can trust your editor and tools
161 to deal with non-ASCII characters in the source code, then you can use them directly
162 in CFSTR(); otherwise, you can represent such characters with their escaped octal
163 equivalents in the encoding the compiler will use to interpret them (for instance,
164 O-umlaut is \303\226 in UTF-8). UTF-8 is the recommended encoding here,
165 since it is the default choice with Mac OS X developer tools.

702 specified by ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/CaseFolding.txt. Folding with
703 kCFCompareDiacriticInsensitive removes distinctions of accents and other diacritics. Folding
