dup() [1/2]

static char * Puma::StrCol::dup ( const char *  str )

static

Copy a string.

Parameters

str	The string to copy.

Returns

A newly allocated copy of the input string.

dup() [2/2]

static char * Puma::StrCol::dup ( const char *  str, int  n  )

static

Copy the first n characters of a string.

Parameters

str	The string to copy.
n	The number of characters to copy.

Returns

A newly allocated string containing the first n characters of the input string.

effectivelyDifferent()

static bool Puma::StrCol::effectivelyDifferent ( const char *  str1, const char *  str2  )

static

Check if the two strings differ not only in spaces.

Parameters

str1	The first string.
str2	The second string.

Returns

True if there are differences other than spaces.

hash() [1/2]

static unsigned int Puma::StrCol::hash ( const char *  str )

static

Calculate a hash value for a string using the Hsieh algorithm.

Parameters

str	The input string.

Returns

The hash value.

hash() [2/2]

static unsigned int Puma::StrCol::hash ( const char *  str, int  n  )

static

Calculate a hash value for the first n characters of a string using the Hsieh algorithm.

Parameters

str	The input string.
n	The number of characters to consider for the hash value.

Returns

The hash value.

isSpace()

static bool Puma::StrCol::isSpace ( const char  c )

static

Check if the given character is one of:

• white space
• horizontal tab
• vertical tab
• form feed
• line feed
• carriage return
• backspace

Parameters

c	The character to check.

Returns

True if it is a space character.

onlySpaces()

static bool Puma::StrCol::onlySpaces ( const char *  str )

static

Check if the given string only contains space characters as recognized by isSpace().

Parameters

str	The string to check.

Returns

True if there are only space characters in that string.

replaceEnvironmentVariables()

static std::string & Puma::StrCol::replaceEnvironmentVariables ( std::string &  str )

static

Replace environment variables of the form ${ENVVAR} in the given string.

Parameters

str	A reference to the string containing the environment variables.

Returns

A reference to the input string with environment variables replaced by their values.
