No description available.

Constructors

rb_refstring_new

Returns an RBRefString for the specified string. If one already exists, its reference count is incremented and it is returned. Otherwise, a new RBRefString is created and returned.

Functions

rb_refstring_equal

Key equality function suitable for use with GHashTable. Equality checks for RBRefString are just pointer comparisons, since there can only be one refstring for a given string.

rb_refstring_find

Returns an existing RBRefString for init if one exists, otherwise returns NULL. If an existing refstring is found, its reference count is increased.

rb_refstring_hash

Hash function suitable for use with GHashTable.

rb_refstring_system_init

Sets up the refstring system. Called on startup.

rb_refstring_system_shutdown

Frees all data associated with the refstring system. Only called on shutdown.

Instance methods

rb_refstring_get

Returns the actual string for a RBRefString.

rb_refstring_get_folded

Returns the case-folded version of the string underlying val. The case-folded string is cached inside the RBRefString for speed. See rb_search_fold for information on case-folding strings.

Returns the sort key version of the string underlying val. The sort key string is cached inside the RBRefString for speed. Sort key strings are not generally human readable, so don’t display them anywhere. See g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename for information on sort keys.

rb_refstring_ref

Increases the reference count for an existing RBRefString. The refstring is returned for convenience.

rb_refstring_unref

Drops a reference to an RBRefString. If this is the last reference, the string will be freed.
