Base Library: Strings (Compact Unicode)

This library cluster has 84 classes.

Classes to process strings of type ZSTRING which is a memory compacted string conforming to READABLE_STRING_32.

Class ZSTRING

Class ZSTRING class (alias for EL_ZSTRING) supports the same unicode character range as the ELKS base class STRING_32, but for text in a Western European langauges it has a memory footprint that is close to that of class STRING_8.

Class ZSTRING has a great many additional routines not found in STRING_32 as for example, Python like tuple substitution, or substrings up until a specified character (and the reverse).

EL_ZSTRING

Usually referenced with the alias ZSTRING, this string is a memory efficient alternative to using STRING_32. When an application mainly uses characters from the ISO-8859-15 character set, the memory saving can be as much as 70%, while the execution efficiency is roughly the same as for STRING_8. For short strings the saving is much less: about 50%. ISO-8859-15 covers most Western european languages.

support

EL_ZCODE_CONVERSION

For use with class ZSTRING which redefines {READABLE_STRING_GENERAL}.code as z_code. A z_code is a hybrid of a Latin-x or Windows-x encoding and a UCS4 encoding. (We only refer to "latin" from here on)

Occassionaly a unicode character might clash with the range 0 .. 255 reserved for latin encodings. To get around this we set the sign bit to 1 to distinguish it. We can do this because the sign bit is unused in UCS4 unicode.
