39 CF_IMPLICIT_BRIDGING_ENABLED
43 Please note: CFStrings are conceptually an array of Unicode characters.
44 However, in general, how a CFString stores this array is an implementation
45 detail. For instance, CFString might choose to use an array of 8-bit characters
46 to store its contents, or it might use multiple blocks of memory, or whatever.
47 This is especially true since CFString is toll-free bridged with NSString, enabling
48 any NSString instance to be used as a CFString. Furthermore, the implementation
49 may change depending on the default system encoding, the user's language,
50 or even a release or update of the OS.
52 What this means is that you should use the following advanced functions with care:
54 CFStringGetPascalStringPtr()
55 CFStringGetCStringPtr()
56 CFStringGetCharactersPtr()
58 These functions are provided for optimization only. They will either return the desired
59 pointer quickly, in constant time, or they return NULL. They might choose to return NULL
60 for many reasons; for instance it's possible that for users running in different
61 languages these sometimes return NULL; or in a future OS release the first two might
62 switch to always returning NULL. Never observing NULL returns in your usages of these
63 functions does not mean they won't ever return NULL. (But note the CFStringGetCharactersPtr()
64 exception mentioned further below.)
66 In your usages of these functions, if you get a NULL return, use the non-Ptr version
67 of the functions as shown in this example:
70 const char *ptr = CFStringGetCStringPtr(str, encoding);
72 if (CFStringGetCString(str, buffer, BUFSIZE, encoding)) ptr = buffer;
75 Note that CFStringGetCString() or CFStringGetPascalString() calls might still fail --- but
76 that will happen in two circumstances only: The conversion from the UniChar contents of CFString
77 to the specified encoding fails, or the buffer is too small. If they fail, that means
78 the conversion was not possible.
80 If you need a copy of the buffer in the above example, you might consider simply calling
81 CFStringGetCString() in all cases --- CFStringGetCStringPtr() is simply an optimization.
83 In addition, the following functions, which create immutable CFStrings from developer
84 supplied buffers without copying the buffers, might have to actually copy
85 under certain circumstances (If they do copy, the buffer will be dealt with by the
86 "contentsDeallocator" argument.):
88 CFStringCreateWithPascalStringNoCopy()
89 CFStringCreateWithCStringNoCopy()
90 CFStringCreateWithCharactersNoCopy()
92 You should of course never depend on the backing store of these CFStrings being
93 what you provided, and in other no circumstance should you change the contents
94 of that buffer (given that would break the invariant about the CFString being immutable).
96 Having said all this, there are actually ways to create a CFString where the backing store
97 is external, and can be manipulated by the developer or CFString itself:
99 CFStringCreateMutableWithExternalCharactersNoCopy()
100 CFStringSetExternalCharactersNoCopy()
102 A "contentsAllocator" is used to realloc or free the backing store by CFString.
103 kCFAllocatorNull can be provided to assure CFString will never realloc or free the buffer.
104 Developer can call CFStringSetExternalCharactersNoCopy() to update
105 CFString's idea of what's going on, if the buffer is changed externally. In these
106 strings, CFStringGetCharactersPtr() is guaranteed to return the external buffer.
108 These functions are here to allow wrapping a buffer of UniChar characters in a CFString,
109 allowing the buffer to passed into CFString functions and also manipulated via CFString
110 mutation functions. In general, developers should not use this technique for all strings,
111 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.
