public final class LuaString
extends LuaValue

Subclass of LuaValue for representing lua strings.

Because lua string values are more nearly sequences of bytes than sequences of characters or unicode code points, the LuaString implementation holds the string value in an internal byte array.

LuaString values are not considered mutable once constructed, so multiple LuaString values can chare a single byte array.

Currently LuaStrings are pooled via a centrally managed weak table. To ensure that as many string values as possible take advantage of this, Constructors are not exposed directly. As with number, booleans, and nil, instance construction should be via LuaValue.valueOf(byte[]) or similar API.

Because of this pooling, users of LuaString must not directly alter the bytes in a LuaString, or undefined behavior will result.

When Java Strings are used to initialize LuaString data, the UTF8 encoding is assumed. The functions lengthAsUtf8(char[]), encodeToUtf8(char[], int, byte[], int), and decodeAsUtf8(byte[], int, int) are used to convert back and forth between UTF8 byte arrays and character arrays.

Field Details

s_metatable

public static LuaValue s_metatable

The singleton instance for string metatables that forwards to the string functions. Typically, this is set to the string metatable as a side effect of loading the string library, and is read-write to provide flexible behavior by default. When used in a server environment where there may be roge scripts, this should be replaced with a read-only table since it is shared across all lua code in this Java VM.

m_bytes

public final byte[] m_bytes

The bytes for the string. These must not be mutated directly because the backing may be shared by multiple LuaStrings, and the hash code is computed only at construction time. It is exposed only for performance and legacy reasons.

m_offset

public final int m_offset

The offset into the byte array, 0 means start at the first byte

m_length

public final int m_length

The number of bytes that comprise this string

Method Details

valueOf

public static LuaString valueOf(String string)

Get a LuaString instance whose bytes match the supplied Java String using the UTF8 encoding.

Parameters:

string - Java String containing characters to encode as UTF8

Returns:

LuaString with UTF8 bytes corresponding to the supplied String

valueOf

public static LuaString valueOf(byte[] bytes,
 int off,
 int len)

Construct a LuaString for a portion of a byte array.

The array is first be used as the backing for this object, so clients must not change contents. If the supplied value for 'len' is more than half the length of the container, the supplied byte array will be used as the backing, otherwise the bytes will be copied to a new byte array, and cache lookup may be performed.

Parameters:

bytes - byte buffer

off - offset into the byte buffer

len - length of the byte buffer

Returns:

LuaString wrapping the byte buffer

valueUsing

public static LuaString valueUsing(byte[] bytes,
 int off,
 int len)

Construct a LuaString around, possibly using the the supplied byte array as the backing store.

The caller must ensure that the array is not mutated after the call. However, if the string is short enough the short-string cache is checked for a match which may be used instead of the supplied byte array.

Parameters:

bytes - byte buffer

Returns:

LuaString wrapping the byte buffer, or an equivalent string.

valueOf

public static LuaString valueOf(char[] bytes)

Construct a LuaString using the supplied characters as byte values.

Only the low-order 8-bits of each character are used, the remainder is ignored.

This is most useful for constructing byte sequences that do not conform to UTF8.

Parameters:

bytes - array of char, whose values are truncated at 8-bits each and put into a byte array.

Returns:

LuaString wrapping a copy of the byte buffer

valueOf

public static LuaString valueOf(char[] bytes,
 int off,
 int len)

Construct a LuaString using the supplied characters as byte values.

Only the low-order 8-bits of each character are used, the remainder is ignored.

This is most useful for constructing byte sequences that do not conform to UTF8.

Parameters:

bytes - array of char, whose values are truncated at 8-bits each and put into a byte array.

Returns:

LuaString wrapping a copy of the byte buffer

valueOf

public static LuaString valueOf(byte[] bytes)

Construct a LuaString for all the bytes in a byte array.

The LuaString returned will either be a new LuaString containing a copy of the bytes array, or be an existing LuaString used already having the same value.

Parameters:

bytes - byte buffer

Returns:

LuaString wrapping the byte buffer

valueUsing

public static LuaString valueUsing(byte[] bytes)

Construct a LuaString for all the bytes in a byte array, possibly using the supplied array as the backing store.

The LuaString returned will either be a new LuaString containing the byte array, or be an existing LuaString used already having the same value.

The caller must not mutate the contents of the byte array after this call, as it may be used elsewhere due to recent short string caching.

Parameters:

bytes - byte buffer

Returns:

LuaString wrapping the byte buffer

Description copied from class: LuaValue

Convert this value to a Java String.

The string representations here will roughly match what is produced by the C lua distribution, however hash codes have no relationship, and there may be differences in number formatting.

Overrides:

checkjstring in class LuaValue

Returns:

String representation of the value

checkstring

public LuaString checkstring()

Description copied from class: LuaValue

Check that this is a lua string, or throw LuaError if it is not.

In lua all numbers are strings, so this will succeed for anything that derives from LuaString or LuaNumber. Numbers will be converted to LuaString.

Overrides:

checkstring in class LuaValue

Returns:

LuaString representation of the value if it is a LuaString or LuaNumber

• LuaValue.checkjstring()
• LuaValue.optstring(LuaString)

Returns:

InputStream whose data matches the bytes in this LuaString

copyInto

public void copyInto(int strOffset,

 int arrayOffset,
 int len)

Copy the bytes of the string into the given byte array.

Parameters:

strOffset - offset from which to copy

bytes - destination byte array

arrayOffset - offset in destination

len - number of bytes to copy

indexOfAny

public int indexOfAny(LuaString accept)

Java version of strpbrk - find index of any byte that in an accept string.

Parameters:
